I-Day Celebrations with a difference !!

This 15th of August India turns 62. I salute the Spirit called India.
I got an opportunity to spend some quality time with the students of a Government School, in whose hands the future of India lies.


It was a really a nice experience. I never felt so happy and content in my life after bringing the smile on their innocent faces.

There were a many things i carried from that place as remembrances.
There were kids 5-6 yrs of age coming for delivering speech on the dais and forgetting their lines. Moreover, I was mesmerized by the promptness of a few kids who were rushing on the dais and offering a hand shake making me feel like a celebrity. We were to distribute sweets at the end of the function and there was a trail of kids following us right from the dais to the sweet distribution point. I don't know why but i felt a sense of belonging out there with those deprived kids. one of them coming and calling us an Indian Santa on I-Day.

Lastly, I could not forget the faces of those thousand kids glimmering with hopes of getting something better, their innocent but meaningful acts, their desire to perform and scale high in life and their smile so ingenuous and pure that it would make all the barriers vanish and above all you can hardly ignore it.
