My new Friends

Sometimes smallest of incidence makes such an impact that it helps you evolve as a better person.

One such incident happened with me lately which moved me to the core and made me realize how ungrateful and ignorant I still am.

AID helped me discover this new person in me who craves for affection of little kids.It made me realize the value of small things in life which I had often ignored. How fortunate I am to have such good parents who have cosseted me and protected me from hardships of life.

I'm astounded to see how excited these kids are about learning when they are deprived of basic necessities of life. Hope, confidence and optimism keeps them going and gives them strength.

Thus, these children are growing, both in body and in mind and I feel proud to be their new friend whom they have started liking(i guess :P).

Its so refreshing to be with them that after 2 hours instead of getting dull I am again full of energy. I went there as a teacher but instead I am learning, this is my new found happiness and I am thoroughly enjoying the experience. I hope to live up to their expectations.

I feel alive again.

And so i see a rainbow

MAGIC

as my heart holds

the magic unfolds

a million years

and all the tears

the tender feelings

pressed close

to my heart

last spring

my heart sings

d music brings

all d magic

and hold us right

the hug is tight

the winter's cold

no hand to hold

i danced

i cared

and all those fears

my soul laid bare

the summer came

and sunny hues

our lives now

on a dancing tune

like moths to flame

we loved the same

and a few more seasons

the right reason

i cherished i loved

and the magic began

i danced i laughed

and cried so hard

coz for a million more years

my heart will hold you

Being Prachi :)

"oh ho niki beta kab doctor banegi..hum line mein hai"
"are niki polish my teeth yaar"
These are the lines I hear every time I meet my relatives, cousins or friends!!
It sounds cool because everyone just treats me as if I have done something really big (like rocket science or something though dentistry is no less!!)
But these expectations are scary and its really not fun being the "only one" in your family.
Like for instance when my grandmother fell ill and was taken to a hospital I was expected to read all the reports, interpret them (ECG, blood reports etc). Fine I can read them but I  am referring to some really complicated stuff here.
Damn I am not even a dentist yet,  so how am I suppose  to read all those reports and answer weird questions!!
And equally annoying is when people show me their teeth in public places like marriages, restaurants etc etc.

I don't want to crib here but yeah its irritating. I do love all the attention and affection but I am just a small kiddo out there in this big world :)
