I Find Myself in Them!!!

There is something painful trait in them. Yet I find them beautiful; I find there is something inspiring in their innocence; in their glittering eyes, innocent smiles in their faces. Know not why but they teach me a lot of life’s lesson. This is the reason why I keep visiting this orphanage-Missionary of Charity Mother Teresa Home, Naharlagun.

INNOCENT ACT !!!

Sometime I feel bad for them for being unfortunate; for being orphans and unhappy for me for not being able to help them. But who on earth is sans trouble or deprived of something. These children, too, are living their life’s share but innocently and humanely. They may be children of lesser god but they teach us how life must be lived abundantly!

SAY CHEESE !!!

The reason being my visit there every now and then is, I get re-energized. Being and spending time with them gives me immense contentment. They inspire and encourage me not to take life too seriously. They teach me live life as it is without having to care a lot  about  do’s and don’ts leaving  behind  all ifs and buts. Whatever life we may get; we must not give up because whatever life is: Life is beautiful!!!

FUN TIME !!!

Whenever I enter this home, I find their greeting is always genuine and humane. I observe their innocent faces; touch their innocent hands; feel their fingers and their innocent smiles; listen their cries. They melt my heart. Sometime I silently smile inside my heart. Sometime their acts make me weep silently.

I know, I cannot do a lot of things for them but what is possible is spreading happiness; spending time with these adorable children. They feel cheerful and happy, content and complete when we are around them. May be they feel protected or safe!

Playing with balloons, few simple games, some pranks, showing them few popular cartoon clips in laptop or phone and singing few rhymes and sharing few sweets and chocolates make their day. Such gestures mean a lot to them.  

To see them fighting and quarrelling innocently is amazing to looked at. May be they do it for getting our attention. Sometimes, it is really interesting to witness them playing, singing, laughing, crying and weeping. Sometimes it’s annoying too but they are just kids, lovely kids! This cluster of mischievous and naughty kids melt every visitor’s heart. Sometime their innocent acts make you feel sad and upset. But such is life. Sometime they will surprise by their innocent acts. Moments spent with these innocent kids are precious and priceless.

MY WORLD !!!

I don’t know most of their names but James is my favourite. There is something in his gloomy appearance, though bit weak and sick but he always attracts me a lot. Hope his health gets better in each passing day. I miss differently abled Henry who has been shifted to Tezpur in Assam. I heard that he is faring well there and his health is improving.

FUNNY ME !!!

WITH CARETAKER !!!

Many new members are frequently brought to this home. Sometime, the condition and situation they are brought and found are very shocking. Many of them have been adopted.  Hope they are in kind hands and are happy. I pray their happiness gets doubled and succeed in life. Few of these dwellers have started going to school.

I might sound selfish. May be I visit there to get compensated. I feel happy being with them. I know, at such a tender age they know not and don’t understand what it feels to be parentless. But I know the void created in one’s heart when you are parentless. I know how it feels to be an orphan because I am one among them who is parentless. I find myself in them!!!
