Nothing turned up as I have thought.Things are becoming muckier.When we reached there with so many gifts like cloths,jewellery,utensils and other household items (everybody has contributed generously) we came to know that she is not blind, she has got her vision in the operation (though it is good),but we were not told the whole story before.Then one of the members of our club was more inclined in giving her more help as they were of the same caste. I never thought that here also casteism would come in.Though I have been there only on two occassions but I feel ladies are also trying to show that they help more and contribute more then others.
Anyways, now other assignment is to help a cancer patient.This lady has five children to take care of.no husband.She is in hospital right now.Lets see what we can do when she gets discharged.I feel she is really needy.

In the name of social service

When anyone of us see someone less priviliged, we do at some point of time must have felt some kind of sympathy for them and tried to help them out.I remember as a kid,we use to visit "deaf n dumb" school and "school for blind".I used to distribute fruits and play with them.They all called me didi irrespective of their age.I used to like this activity,but it was just twice a year.When I grew up,my first job offer came from an NGO.They were paying 10,000/mth which was quite decent.But I opted to join a bank with the resolution of doing some thing for the society.In younger days we are so full of zeal to do something for our society but lucrative careers make us decide to do something else and to overcome the guilt, such kind of resolutions are taken.Now when I ve left my job,I once again thought of doing something like, social service.I joined an organisation working for this cause.Today,we went to distribute sugar,sweets and teabags to some slum areas.But some ladies(members) were more interested in photo sessions.I got mine also clicked.Maybe in tomorrow's newspaper our names would be published. But I didn't like it.Why all this hohalla.Maybe it will inspire others to join.Tomorrow we are going to give gifts for the marriage of a blind girl.May god bless her.Let's see how things take shape tomorrow.

Birthday

It was my husband's birthday yesterday.I had planned a surprise party for him and thought of baking a cake.It was for the first time I was going to make a cake.I got all the things from the market.But it was a total disaster. No, I did not burn it, neither I committed any blunders by mixing salt instead of sugar. But there was a power cut. Anyways , I went to the market and bought a pineapple cake for him.After that I thought of cooking. But first I called up his friends for the party. Oh! first one was out of station.I called up another, his wife was out of station.So here the party also gets cancelled.I was little upset as I was planning this day and night for the last week.In the evening we went to temple.It was good.I was happy then.We sat and chatted for 2 hrs ,this completely refreshed me and I was back to normal.Our neighbour came to wish him in the evening.She is a nice,old lady.She brought a cake for him which she has made.It was very tasty.So that made the day.

New start in the new year

Its a new year again. Renewed is the zeal and energy to live life. New resolutions are taken.
Though a person can start afresh anytime when he is determined and enthusiastic. But there is some magical aura in the new year eve which inspires a person to leave behind his past and start afresh.We cannot always sit back and bask in the glory of our past achievements. We have to move forward and there in nothing great then new year for a new start.Today I m also going to start a new assignment in my life. Let's see how farI go.
