Where der s a will, der s a way.....

18th February, its my birth day...i have always tried to make it quite special, some times yes i was able and some times am not.some of my birth days are quite memorable and some i do not remember at all.when i was in school, this day was as normal as other day, except giving chocolates to all...and celebrating in the evening at home.when i went to college and lived in hostel it was quite enjoyable, the main thing was we were celebrating bday from night, cutting cakes, getting bday bombs but it was less as compared to boys, as boys cant even wake up from bed on their bday bcoz of bday bombs,again i was celebrating in class, getting so many gifts and so and so....

but this time i m not a student of any school or college nor even an employee or worker...and again i was not at home . i had gone to bbsr for appearing GATE exam which was on 14th feb but i had to be der for 4 more days becoz of some work. at 17th night i had switched on my mobile so got wishes from friends. i had planned to watch the movie MNIK in the morning......but when i woke up in the morning i felt lonely, no friends were der to celebrate with me and no family members at all. though i was in a hostel of bbsr, no one of hosteler knew me except two and those two were busy on their work. i had to cancel my plan of watching movie in hall,

i was feeling as if i am going to have a worst bday in my life.. but suddenly i thought of doing something good....i thought to donate blood but i knew no one is der to take care of me,then thought to go to an anath ashram, but i dont know much about places of bbsr, i asked the guard of that hostel regarding ashram but he did nt know, i asked some of hostelers also but dey said they dont know. i felt my plan again going to be cancelled,

then i said my self that......... where there is a will, there is a way......... i suddenly thought of calling an auto bala whose number was with me, he gave an address of ashram but he was unable to take me there with him becoz of his another work,then i called another auto bala, Bulu bhaina..he took me near ashram the name was SOS children's village, better to say it was not an ashram, it was looking like a park from outside, i was confused. when i reached near gate i found no one. then i entered into the place and a guard came afterwards. i talked to him regarding children over ther and found it was a Govt. association. all children had gone for studying. some were studying in english medium and some in SSVM..

then i asked guard to give address of an ashram and i found one near Khandagiri, The " Jeevan Jyoti" ashram. i went into der and firstly my eyes falled on a small girl, who seems having some disease. then a madam came and asked me who am i... i introduced myself to her and got about her too. she is a staff of that ashram....... the ashram had started in 2005. they take orphan child and look after them.their aim is to serve the deprived section of the society........

i met all children,as i had gone there in the afternoon some had slept on two stair bed and some slept on ground and others had gone to school....there i met a child who was unable to talk and walk. i asked that madam regarding that child and came to know that, child had been packed in a

polythene and thrown in a drain.... it was really pathetic. anyways now that child is fine near care of that madam.i talked to all there, they were calling me as Apa. at 3.30 pm other children returned from school. they gave me flowers and they danced also. One teacher has been assigned for teaching dance to them and they were really dancing well...and finally i had to say them bye becoz i had to return to home at that night.. i donate a little amount and promised myself to help further... i took out their web id and i.e www.jeevanjyotiashram.org

i wish the children will have a happy life in their future.
