The deepest desire of each and every human is to love and be loved

I am a member of DISHA foundation. Me along with five other members visited Asha Niketan yesterday. It is a home which gives the people with mental handicaps a new ray of hope. The people there are really cared so much. And they also involve in creative activities like candle making, craft work, bamboo work etc. Those people were abandoned by their own family members and now they have got a new home. A place were they are loved and cared for. It is managed by Katherine, a French lady. Kudos to her work, her energy, her passion to make a difference in peoples lives. Many people have a desire to help others. They stop with it. But she has gone an extra mile and serves people. She chose to be single and be with the people. That’s really great and she has to be very much appreciated for it.

As Mahatma Gandhi said, “A man’s greatness lies not in his mind, but in his heart” we should also play our part to make a difference in peoples lives. The happiness you get by helping others is much more than what you get by other things like succeeding in your career, obtaining material possessions etc. Such kind of happiness is short lived. But if you make some one happy, if you make a difference in some ones lives the happiness stays longer. So, decide in what ways you can make a difference in people’s lives. It can be as simple as a smile. You smile has a great power and it can create great miracles in people. You can understand it only by experience. Start your day with smile. When you meet a person, smile and greet him/her with a good morning.
