As i was coming out of my class, outside the admin block, he just sprang in front of me. He was already there and the moment they saw me, his sister whispered something in his ears and the next moment he was in front of me. In his innocent way he said, " Bhaiya, bhaiya patty khilao na."
These are the small kids of slums and they are a part of our very endeared literacy mission. My association with the literacy mission for approximately more than a year brought me in close contact with these little angels. All those guys who have never been to the LITERACY classes, should visit them atleast once while their stay in NITH. Its a pleasure to spend time with these " nanhe shaitaan".
Every time these kids see me, they come to greet me in their sweet innocent ways. Sometimes even insist that i play with them and yah i never let go of that opportunity..........
Some of them are particularly mischievous.....sorry i don't remember the names.....and they would not leave you untill you become a part of their play... it might be anyhting...they will cry, smile and give you a glimpse op totality of human emotions....and yes then you can't but simply enjoy and marvel!!!!
Its so good na to once again become like a child for a child has all the virtues which we all are seeking....isn't it....innocence, love, spontaneity, fearlessness, self-confidence and a smile which is so readily available....you know they have the power to create their environment...wherever they go, they just change the vibrations of that place and however gloomy it had been, you will be encapsulated in their exuberance and gaiety..
For a child everything is a play, and they play with so much authenticity and intensity....100%.. and thats why they are really living each and every moment......and yes they make you realise that this life is also a game....sometimes you seem to be winning while sometimes loosing...but when you play 100%, you don't bother about the results!!! right...so just play your part on this planet as if its all a divine game. Then nothing can shake you and take away the smile from your being...hmmmm....i think it had better stop now...
One last observation......I'm so blessed to have started my journey towards becoming once again a child.......thanks to my master's art of living........
meet you again......
may we all become childlike without becoming childish!!! :)
