The day of lights-5-11-2010

I had a calm and peaceful diwali this year without much crackers. The most satisfied thing was i went to an orphanage. It was awesome there.Myself and my dad, we did not know where it was actually but my dad had set in his mind to donate some amount to the children there. We boarded nearly four buses, one after the other in a rush, to reach that place.It was a very renowned one, a big one.It had been for years it seems,so was entirely different to that of what i had imagined.We were taken to the orphanage's office,we were to fill a form to donate money. Then they allowed us to go round the campus and there i saw a queue of children each with a box of crackers,i followed them, talking to one of the boys there,may be 6 or 7 years old. His name was surya. I felt something great there, interacting with those people bursting crackers with them.I felt  goosebumps all over my body when i realised that those children had none to take care of. So much of over doing at home by our parents, calls from all our relatives, u ate? u studied? is ur health gud bla bla.. mama,athai,chithi chithapa n goes on n we are like Oh god!! stop this.. yaaru keta? n there, they have none to ask how are you my son?  and we keep fussing at home having all comforts.
The day made me realise all these facts.The other side, i saw the most ugliest thing too. I saw many people drunk in the bus, in the electric train. The smell gives me a vomiting sensation!! yuck!! n my dad was explaining according to them drinking alcohol is a celebration. What a culture!!! A drunkard  slapped someone in the electric train, there was a comotion there. I could not tolerate it. When there are many other beautiful things to be seen in this world, why spoil my mind with these bad thoughts?But one thing for sure, when are these ugly things gonna end??? Returned with these thoughts back to home.
