celebrating my dad's birthday

Now, well after almost a decade after my dad died… this year of 2009 we decided to celebrate his birthday a little more significantly than just remembering him.

So we went to this place called Samarthanam Trust in a quiet corner of Jayanagar, and asked them about any deserving candidate who was a good student but just lacked the opportunity to take their talent further. The caretaker there thought a while, and then came up with the name of a girl who was doing her 10th standard but was in real poverty with her parents struggling to make ends meet. We even got to meet this girl, of course we only had a general conversation with her, and she had some fun playing with my baby son for a few minutes and then went on her way.

It was nice to have met her, and after she left we wrote the cheque for her, wishing that it would give the chance for the sparkle in her eyes to keep shining!

We left the place with a sort of undescrible feeling of a quiet joy, and wished the same for my Dad. 🙂
