Return to Innocence

Very often we like to go back to our childhood just to forget the toils of the present day work.
But imagine your work itself giving you an opportunity to work with kids who always cheer you without giving any chance of early burn out.....
Same thing happens with my work too....
Working with children is not just work,its a way of releasing your tensions,forgetting that you are an adult and just being yourself...
I returned to my innocence while working with these two kids at my workplace....
Let me call one of them as "K" and the other "A".
"K" was the first kid i ever worked with. Though he had terrible problems in writing and interacting with people, he had the magic of bringing smile on anybody's face.
It was only three months that i worked with that kid but it made an impression in my mind for the life time.
After those three months we had to say goodbye to each other but i did not know how to make him realize that his sister (as he addressed me) won't be with him there after.
That poor little kid had the idea that he will be meeting me again after 2 months but.....
Looking at the innocence of "K" i did not have the courage to let him know that he will not be seeing his sister anymore.
Talking about "A"...Interaction with "A" was lesser compared to "K". But it influenced me even more."A" had more severe problems than "K". At times he would make me angry and frustrated but it made me like him all the more.
It was only once in a week that i met him but still his way of doing things lingered around all the time.
One fine day i reached my workplace with the thoughts of meeting "A" as it was long time since i had met him.When i arrived at my workplace ultimately i heard someone saying "A"'s parents have shifted to another place without even informing our school authorities.
Tears rolled from my eyes at the first realization of the sentence.
But "A" was gone from here may be never to return back.
This is the irony of life-Children make us return to innocence but sometimes they go out of our lives never to return back.

Relationships

Would like to share these words spoken by Kaleel Jamison
"Relationships of all kinds are like sand held in hands,
held loosely with an open hand, the sand remains where it is....
the minute you close your hand and sqeeze tightly to hold on,
the sand trickles through your fingers.
You may hold on to some of it,but most will be spilled....
A relationship is like that....
Held loosely with respect and freedom for the person it's likely to remain intact...
But held too tightly,too possessively relationship slips away and is lost"....

At last..........

At last........i started blogging......
I had been thinking of creating my own blog from a very very long time indeed......and now i did get the "time" to do it!!!!!!!!
Or i would rather say i had the time to create but never made it.
And thats the problem with most of us!!!!!!!!
We all sit and wait for the rite time which never turns up unless and until we make up our minds and start working towards it.
