Visit to an old age home




             The lives of people who are living a miserable life are the people staying in an old age home.  These people are left alone in this home and they never pay  a visit to again.  The age of people living in old age home are approximately under the age group of 70-95. The old age home is seen as a home for people who are left alone, but in reality it is not a home for them. Their real home is in which they had spent their most of life.

          Recently, our social community organized a visit to old age home for celebrating New Year with them on the auspicious day of ‘Guddi Padwa’.  This was the first time I had gone to such place. The name of the organization was “Manavsena Trust, Sakvar”.  This place was surrounded by the blanket of greenery. In that old age home, there were approximately 40 people were staying. I observed that these people were provided with basic amenities like food, clothing, and shelter. They had created separate divisions for both of them. The aura of this place was very different from usual aura of every place. The aura of this place was filled with full of memories and emotions of these old people living in this organization.
We interacted with them for some hours. While interacting I observed that these people got so happy that somebody is paying visit to them and to show this excitement, they had wore the best sarres and kurtas they was having with them. When I interacted with few people there, they even gave me some chocolates to me. The old people got so much emotionally connected with us within a span of time that, we can’t forgot such experience of our life.  They even share some past experiences with us, which help us to face the situation of future life.

                    The sad part was that they are not living with their family and they don’t care about them. Whenever I went for interacting with old people they asked me to give call to their family members, so that they can come and meet them.
Leaving their parents to old age home is a bad way of living. Leaving parents alone in the whole world is a sin. They help us to grow from childhood to an adult, they are the one who helped us to walk and talk in childhood. Parents are like god and they should not be left alone and just because they have  problems like defect in bones and other health problems or family dispute.

                      From my point of view old people should not send to an old age home. The life is better at home rather than in old age home.  Visiting an old age home is beautiful experience and it will create a great impact on everyone’s life.

Undiscovered states in national anthem

Have you ever thought of that in India’s National anthem there are 7 north east states, which are not mentioned in it. When I first discovered that the whole India’s national anthem does not include the north east stated I was astonished. This major issue got highlighted in my mind because of a play which was held in our college on the occasion of independence day. I never thought that there is some part of India which is not assuming themselves the part of India as a country. The north east Indians are bounded by a single but very destructive and scary law, which is known as AFSPA (Armed forces special power act, 1958 ). It is a such if it is applied in Metro cities then you cannot believe to express your own fundamental rights which are given by our constitution, even people like Anna Hazare will be killed on mere suspicious and provoking the other people against the government. Irom Sharmila  was not the one who came forward to save the lives of peo...

The Day I shared with Old People

I have never experienced such an atmosphere of deep emotions flowing through people. This is the place where people are living life, which they will never wish in their whole life. Our organization decided to visit there and spread some happiness by sharing some good moments and giving some time which should be given by their family members and not us. It was the first time, when our social organization decided to organize a one day trip for celebrating the auspicious day of “Guddi Padwa” with people, who are living in an old age home. This is known as the New Year for Marathi culture and day for spreading happiness all over. The place was located in Sakvar i.e. Virar.  This home was in the middle of green blanket of trees, open grass lands and express way touching. When we reached, I saw that some people were already ready wearing new sarees and kurta pyjamas. They were so happy that, some people are there in world, which are thinking about us and our happ...

Summer holidays are the holidays when children gets freedom from the burden of education but it holidays are not to be like roaming like free bird or enjoying holidays are to be meant for learning and learning the own’s capabilities to handle, to work on skills and to discover new things in life and get engrossed in it. I  remember  when I was in 10 th Std, holidays for me was an escape from studies and when I completed my 10 th Std, it was the feeling of freedom and enjoyment but now after completing 12 th  and  second  year holidays  for me have taken a different place in my life. Now holidays feels like a  chilling  cold making us  freeze  in all activities. It makes us look back to what holidays meant for us when we were children. Nowadays holidays are like a circle where one should learn to get  accommodate  in the working lifestyle by interning or working for two or three month in an organisation. Even pare...
