From childhood-oldage(orphanage - oldage home)

An ordinary day started with usual rush to clinics as i got up late......only one case for therapy n tat too tibetan ...mt dear shanghai...after giving chance to him 4 imitating me n chatting with his grandpa i ran to room no 39(i guess) to submit ma reports...afternoon classes were horrible except enjoying manj's n swetha recorded laugh(really it was haughting laughters)....
my feet got wounded becoz of ma nw sandals ..i could hardly walk wearing them...n adjusting my walk accordg 2 tat i git small sprain i ma legs....nywys we r having 3 days long holidays so these all cant prevent me frm "enjoy mading" 2day....eveng the thg came 2 ma ind tat 2day s the NSS orphanage visit....feelg very tired....shld i go....????"should go dear" wats tat....inner voice....
ok lets go mari.....i told ma frnd...waitg 4 the college bus 2 start i saw a non NSS member our slow processor cumg with a smile n confusion if she could cum....she got permission....we went to the orphanage......first time m goin to such a place...it was a trust n along with children there are ORPHAN grandmas....we could hear frm outside "topi beka topi......".......they were playing with the NSS members my juniors who arrived early....very happy kids opposite 2 my expectation.....

one girl sukanya came n sat on my lap....she saw my frnds bangles and chain..i asked her if she likes it...she said yes...
but none of them had bangles or chain.........
it reminded me of my young age as well as my chechi's daughter who throw bangles away becoz she has enough n she don want to wear it.......
i noticed one boy....he appeared burned.....he showed me beautiful sketches he has done n said i have done it on my own..................
ya he should becoz there s nobody there 2 help him out..............
to appreciate his talents......
i akd rafeeq who looke smart wat s his ambition...he said sofware engn
i askd yyyy???
then he said once i had my father n he wanted me 2 be an engnr,,,,
he still carries tat n mind....i wished him all success.....
next was a girl who wanted to becum a singer.....
then there was a sweet cutie chumma(subha-2yrs)......who was the star of the day...
no body was ready 2 keep her down...,,,n she wanted 2 be carried
i thought of kids of same age who r reluctant to cum from their mothers lap.......
then we gave them sweets n enjoyed their performance.....
finally we went 2 meet aji's......(grandmas)

children definitely hdont have long stories to tell us...but the old mothers.....they had
they were not from the road.......
they were not beggars
they were not poor
they all from good families
and most worst part is they r in this orphanage when their own children having their own house ,well settled live in the same city....................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they were nt blaming....they have gud reasons not to blame their children.......................
growing to this level from their mothers lap nw they they dont have space in their big houses n small mind to accomodate them ,care them..............

words cannot exxpress their feeling....n nobody can empathize their emotions...........
failing 2 control my tears ......i sat n front of a grandma.....she has a beautiful name.......n she s indeed very beautiful......b4 leaving i touched her feets n she blessed.......n said do cum n a holiday at day time....but dont bunk classes....

How they can luv us when their own chidren of our generation has left them alone...they still expect us to cum n just talk to them...............

when i came outside i saw a little boy prasanna...i just lifted him n he was happy..he caught my hand n took me to his elder brothers who were busy making paper flower for us......he tried to get me flower but he couldnt.......i said its 5ne as it was time.....he coughed n without sying a word he went inside................
v bid bye to all n left...............b4 leaving rafeeq askd me akka where are u frm....has said kerala...he murmered n the ear of girl next 2 him....they came frm kerala 2 see us.....................
v smiled looking at each other......

i called up my mom 2 tell wat all happened n she joked "oh v all r goin to be n such places soon know"

i laughed.........still feeling their pain in my mind...................

mothertongue

Today was a brainstorming day for me....As m very particular in not giving much strain to my lazy brain it was rather a sought of punishment which i thk our department head purposefully gave us.....I believe no body would have felt the other way after attending todays workshop on translation of public education material........
2 emminent personalities well versed in this field adressed us......after quiet a long lecture on tecnical sides of translation...we started the actual task of translating materials in English into our native languages......
And i realised how strong my and even my friends knowledge of our mother tongue.......we were struggling like anythg to get the corresponding malayalam words....when we get words it will not be appropriate to the context and vice versa...starting at 12.00clock we could finish only around 1 page each by 2.00clock.....

But we should appreciate ourselves as we are great creators......

somebody asked a malayalam word for babbling and the answer was so spontaneous......
"bababa"adikunathu is babbling......literally true!!!!!
solitary play became swayam kali
social play ....samuhika kali...
coopertive play:sahakarana kali....
......this ended with a very interseting translation of word bench........
bench:naalu kaal kutti ottapalakayulla ..................................(rest of the part u may guess)

one thg i understood.....love u mothertongue....learn ur mothertongue.....use it.....but .....their is always a better way to do things...like that their is abetter way to communicate,....so for making our language better and for using it in a better way if we need the help of a foreign language their is no harm in tat.........

pine apple !!!!!apple????apple!!!!!!pineapple????

what is the difference between apple and pine apple???apple is red in colour,specific shape......etc..pineapple yellow...,with small scales..,!!but both are fruits ,both taste sweet(conditions applied)

ok now tell me the difference between the word "apple" and 'pine apple".only difference is the pine and if u remove tat its apple.....
y i asked u all these ...becoz today my autistic child made me aware of this difference in the word apple and pine apple.....u may wonder how???very intersting incident
she is monu with her parents (both of them are doctors).she came to mysore to attend therapy.....Like any other educated parents who has world in their finger tips,they have learned a lot about this wonderful disorder(i shld never call it a disorder rather its a condition) "autism".
she s really a sweet child n i would say she s having autistic spectrum disorder.....
ist day of therapy:parents with their child....i called her name ..she didnt respond...i snatched her hand and tried seeking her attention towards me......
father:she ll not attend becoz she s in her own world
mum:ya its difficult to bring her from "HER OWN WORLD".u know na autistic have this specific character....
i understood tat they have internet accesss....nywys i called her from her own world ignoring the parents comments.......

i struggled in the next sessions to bring her mother from the internet informations to her childs reality.....

months passed.....nw monu is somewhat a smart girl who developed from her previous level....mainly becoz of her mothers effort......

so abt the story of apple...tat was the first fruit she learned....i taught her apple...she was pretty consistent with tat...even u draw arough fig she could make out apple.....

but suddenly one day she started labelling apple as pine apple....
i wondered "pine apple"hw she learned pine apple"
mothers efforts were pouring water on mine...
she wanted her child to learn rather repeat as many words as possible...
i told her give monu time...but she dont have .......

mama is depressed,child started beating mother for correcting her as if she is asking her
"what is this ?any ways "apple" is there in pine apple then y apple alone.......
mamma is angry monu.....mummy started shouting ...to save the chld didi(its me)started working to change apple again to apple...showed her the difference.....
asked mummy to show real objects
mummy's explanation:oh noo!!she s under megavitamin therapy ...so no fruits to monu

ok lets WORK with the picture..
mummy:dont worry i m sure monu will surely cum out from pine apple


after may be 2 days....(i thk mama scolded her n threatened her for saying apple as pine apple)child came....
didi started routine activities...in between introduced fruits
mummy happily....u know she s nw again saying apple as apple itself....
didi is also happy....bt let us check ........sumne

what is this monu ....??this is..........
child:apple....
ohh!!!!very gud very gud(clapped)

ok then what is this....showing pic of pine apple.....
this is........................................
wat happened her face looking confused.......
she forgot the name....
mummy screamed
what is this?say!!!!!!!!!!!!

child:"APPLE"
APPLE!!!!
CHILD again THIS IS "APPLE"

we both were sat with our hands on head...........
mama commented "stupid girl"

Actually who is stupid???
she might be thnkg its we who cant tolerate the addition of words or omission of words>>>>>>>>


who is having problem here.....wat is happening in childs mind??
my thought process is not enough to peep into her mind....

any idea????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enlightment

wats special 2day!!!!!i wonder ...suddenly i discern somethg which i was never ready accept.....
there are wonderful ,inspiring personalities of my same age,around me......u may wonder what made me realize it suddenly...????ya m cumg 2 tat

a 3 day fest n our college conducted solely by the students,participants from almost 11 colleges.........i doubted about the capability of students n conducting this....!!!But it happened n was a great success..behind its success was a bunch students with immense caliber,aspiration,leadership quality,hardwork....n moreover with an urge to do something....cuming from a very secluded college background without being much exposed to outside world(i really mean it) i couldnt imagined tat in this age we r capable of doing things which i alwys thought nt possible without guidance......

i admire ur efforts and work my dear pals...n keep ot up to make ur life a productive vineyard....

They are special.......

what is special????some thing which is different???unprocurable???.....

The meaning itself changed when i came 2 knw about special kids. like ny youngsters shooting for a quick ,safe,esteemed job ,after studies ,i was abt to turn towards routine medicine or IT field....Bt what happened in b/w is somethg i still marvel....the whole area of interest changed accordingly...a new unheard,unexperienced field of rehablitation opened in front of me......standing like a mother who dont know hw to take care of her adopted kid.....with no tool of acquired motherese i started WORKING with those kids to build up their future.....but later work changed to pleasure without my knowledge....developing so much of patience .....i found that they are indeed very special........
kids in their own world.....who resistant to cum out from their own world ......what are they telling us?sometimes i feel they are telling"leave us in our own world,let us be ourself...what is special in ur world,we are happy here".......Bt for others around him he has to cum out.......
