My recent visit to a temple in my home town ... !!!
You all must be thinking that i am very religious person and what so special about this temple?
Let me be honest here ... my reasons to visit this particular temple are not limited to pray, this temple undoubtedly gives me eternal solace to my soul and my mind that i could feel a connection with not only the deity but the little kids who come here every Tuesday to collect the prasad from the visitors for their family members.
Carrying the most innocent smile on their faces, these kids take my heart away. They don't have any luxurious facilities to live, some of their parents might even be struggling to survive. These pure, sinless souls, unwary by any corruption on earth looks radiant, no lesser than the deity itself.
(Sorry for not so good pic)
After my conversation with the deity, :-) i usually sit on the stairs outside from where i can see all these kids, and some times i sit with them. When i ask which class you are studying in, some of them shy and don't even answer, then their friends would answer on their behalf.
Yesterday it was quite amusing when i sat in middle of these kids and the visitors when they stopped by me in the row, took few seconds to come out of the dilemma if they should give me prasad or skip by. They would be thinking this girl doesn't look underprivileged in a branded Jeans, T-shirt and that too with a laptop bag and a mobile in her hand. When they decide and extend their hand to give me prasad, i receive it with all the grace and with a smile :-)
I had taken my friend with me to this temple yesterday and i was coming up with some or other idea to make these kids smile more. I am just keeping my attitude positive and i hope things would fall in place.
