Lantern

I felt alone, darkness and stricken when I turn back on the road started for achieving the ambitions we had long for years back. We lost our way in the shadows of luxury and posh of MNC s and forgot the payback time to our society. But there was a person waiting for us carrying a lantern that glows virtues. 

He is none other than our beloved Big Brother – Binoj.

Hope all of you remember the initiation from the three – Binoj,Munna and Ratheesh a month back and we could start off it with a happy note. We went to Kasthurbha Old Age home, Nedupuzha, Thrissur and arranged a lunch with them.

There were 27 women ready to love those who come there, but not loved by their lovable siblings, son, daughters during their old age. One of them even put me in a state of mind where I could feel the power when someone loves us. I felt blessed, loved and ashamed off the self proclaimed worthless achievements. They are more passionate than us about their life even when they had no home, no relatives, no grand daughters to love. I could control my tears in time else it would burst.

At 1 o clock they started prayer and asked my name, I said sandeep and binoj.

They prayed “Innivide ethi njngalku bhakshanam tharan sanmanasu kanicha sanjayinum vinodhinum avarude kootukarkum kudumba karkum nallathu varuthene”.

We spent time with them hearing their worries and felt by the ignorance they faced in their life. We took photographs and they were very excited about their appearance in those photos.

           

Binoj was on duty in charge of the state school youth festival website developed by his team and even deprived his sleep of as he reached room after a night out support just before my call. That’s called passion. Mine is a tiny dew drop on Mount Everest.

When we were about to leave one grand mother said that she does not want to die as there are people who still follows virtues in their minds and she wait for them which she could not see prior to this old age home. Yes guys they are waiting for you

There are many these kind of activities we can do with ease and I believe in those small things that lift our self morale. It gives a great satisfaction to me.
