It&s a sad statistic, even if it&s one We made up on the spot. Let&s look at the facts though, there are a lot of things that can kill your project: flagging economy, bad planning, incompetent teammates (everyone else), incompetent founder (that&s you) or just plain vanilla stupidity, but the one that strikes most often

19th Sep-2009 was Kishu’s 1st b’day without him; We don’t think We have words to express our feelings for this date. Thoughot a single day goes by without remembering him but then seeing 19th everyday on the calendar of this month has beenothing less than an awful reminder of his absence from our lives. With each day drawing closer to 19th, We was getting restless and We kept on wondering what to do so that we all esp. our mom can survive through this day. Somehow We always fail to find words which can console her, maybe that’s because somewhere within I’m aware that she can’t be consoled. The whole thought of his excitement for his own b’day and then his anticipation with which he would wait for our gift, brings smile as well as tears in our eyes. Really, life has its own cruel ways of dealing with us.After thinking a lot, We decided to spend this day in an orphanage and celebrate Kishu’s bday along with kids there. Though there are lots of orphanages around but on speaking We found some of them to be too commercial. Thanks to our friends Manish & Vibha who helped us in reaching Mr. Krishna Reddy and his orphanage “Santosh Charitable Trust”. I’ve done charity events as well as donations many times earlier in our life but our experience with Santosh Trust was so different that it definitely deserves a post in our blog.It’s a small orphanage on Sarjapur Road with 35 kids ranging in age group of 3-15 years; some kids have lost their parents whereas some of them have been abandoned by their parents either due to financial constraints or due to marital issues. The founder Mr. Isaac Raj along with four other trustees is running this place but what makes it different from all other places is the grooming and personalities of kids there. We (me, our husband and another very close couple friends who also showed interest in joining us) went to this place on a Saturday afternoon along with Mr. Reddy & Vibha. Since for all four of us this was the first visit to this place we wereot sure what all to take for the kids, after discussing with Mr. Reddy We had taken some gifts, along with cake, sweets and had already spoken to the trust for hosting a special lunch from our side for the kids that day; the other couple friends who were also as enthusiastic as us had bought loads of fruits and biscuits for those kids. We don’t know what all four of us had it in our minds but the first introduction with those kids itself just left us amazed. We mean all of them were so well behaved and spoke with absolute confidence. They were talking in fluent English and had such a smart way of expressing their thoughts. After their introduction we cut the cake on behalf of Kishu and they all sang in unison a birthday song for Kishu. We was crying and at the same time We had this very different feeling in our heart. A small and the only girl in the group came up to me and asked – “didWe aap ro kyun rahWe hai, apne bhaWe ke liye Aapka toh sirf bhaWe gaya hai, mumour aur itne saare dost toh haWea, humko dekho humara toh koWeahWe hai”…Speechless We stared at her blank face and deep eyes, couldn’t say a word beyond stroking her cheeks. Really, life has its own unique ways of communicating with us.Post having lunch with them, we spent some more time with those kids as well as the founders. They explained us how this charity was formed and how it is running currently, its current state of finances andearby futureeeds. For the first time we had encountered some charitable organization who had such a transparent and systematic approach towards managing the whole thing. And the result was obvious in terms of the personality of those kids – REMARKABLE will be one adjective which We think can do some justice to the impact which these kids created on us. While bidding them good bye all of us had this urge on our own to come back here again and do something for those kids. I’mot sure if souls exist but if they do, I’m sure K
