Eyes express a lot more than words...!

On Thursday, after completing my office work, when I started to go home, I received a call about an 80-year-old lady who was in trouble. Her husband passed away a long time ago, and has no child. She was working as a maid earlier for survival. But it was difficult for her to work at this age. Due to her poor financial situation, the landlord asked her to leave the rented house. She started living on the road, at mid-night the dogs bit her on ledges badly, and with her injured legs she started ramming on the road and asking for help.

When I got to know about her situation, I registered her name in the " Savli Niwara Kendra". We enrolled her in the Shelter home.

She cried like a child at the time of admission. I enrolled her with a heavy heart. She was not capable of speaking a lot but her eyes expressed her misery, fear, loneliness, and stress. When I grabbed her hand, I felt the touch of my grandma. I got emotional when I held her shivering hand. This was the same feeling as a mother dropping her child to school for the  first time.
As we say, sometimes timing is the only key to resolve any situation. Her treatment started at a Shelter home. Day by day she started improving physically and emotionally.

Now, When I go to the Savli Niwara Kendra to meet her, She hugs me tightly like a child. I remember her eyes when I saw her for the first time and today when I see her, her innocent smile encourages me a lot, and every time I see trust in her eyes about me. 

Now she is safe, healthy and happy. She is enjoying her life with other beneficiaries of a shelter home.

Thanks to Sonali, who informed me about her, and all credit goes to Savli Niwara Kendra, and thanks to Mr. Husen sir, Mrs. Adnes, Mrs. Gautam, Mrs. Aakash, Mrs.Sachin, and the whole Savli Niwara Kendra team for valuable devotion towards the sensitive people of our society.
As I always said, if anybody wants to see a god, they must have to visit Shelter Home and Meet Savli Niwara Kendra's Team.

 There are many different levels involved in the adoption process that are often discussed — such as the adoptive parents and their families, the orphanage or Specialized Adoption Agency (SAA), CARA (Central Adoption Resource Authority), and the CWC (Child Welfare Committee). But one emotional aspect that often remains overlooked is the person who takes care of the child after they arrive at the institution, until they are adopted by their new parents — and who then lovingly hands the child over to them. This person, who steps into the role of a mother after the infant arrives at the care home, who looks after the baby with utmost affection and dedication, forms a sweet bond with the child. And when the time comes to hand the baby over to the adoptive parents, she goes through an emotional turmoil. Through this poem, I’ve tried to express that unique and heartfelt journey. I would like to present this humble poetic attempt before you. सुंदरसी इस दुनिया में, जब भी घोर अँधेरा छाता नन...

Unanswered Questions! When Life gets hard, Try to remember, The life you complain about is only a dream to some people.  It was 2nd May 2019, I have received a call from Dr Pramila Ma'am at early in the morning. She said, " An old man is staying on a footpath at Kokne Chowk from last week, he is not able to sit, stand and walk. We are providing food and clothes. But, I don't think he will survive for a long in this critical situation." I met him and examined the situation. His name was Subhash Kamble( Name changed) and his age was 75. I asked him about his background and history, and I was shocked after listening to his story. He said, "I am in a bad phase now But, I am a well-educated person.

Situation matters!

 Situation matters! Being a single mother is twice the work, twice the stress, and twice the tears...... A few days back, I received a call from Bhosari, Pune Police Station. API Mr Bhosle called me to solve a critical and sensitive case of a mother and child. A few hours ago a man came to the police station with a missing girl. He said, "This girl was running on the road. She was searching for her mother from an hour. Few men were moving around her. So, I was scared. As a responsible person of this society, I recognised that I have to submit her to the police station for her protection." He received appreciation from the PSI for his precious contribution towards society, And he went away. Police were trying to ask her questions to find out her identification. But, She was scared. She was not even ready to look at him. After some time, We got to know that she is living with her mother in a rented house. She is six years old, and her name is Shreya(name changed). I was sitting...
