The best way to know the self is feeling oneself at the moments of reckoning. The feeling of being alone, just with your senses, may lead you to think more consciously. More and more of such moments may sensitize ‘you towards you’, towards others. We become regular with introspection and retrospection. We get ‘the’ gradual connect to the higher self we may name Spirituality or God or just a Humane Conscious. We tend to get a rhythm again in life. We need to learn the art of being lonely in crowd while being part of the crowd. A multitude of loneliness in mosaic of relations! One needs to feel it severally, with conscience, before making it a way of life. One needs to live several such lonely moments. One needs to live severallyalone.

A ‘DIFFERENT’ OLD-AGE HOME, SOME GENUINE FOOD FOR THOUGHT AND A DESPERATE URGE TO ACT


The very first visit to the old-age home ‘Guru Vishram Vriddha Ashram’ (Badarpur, Delhi) was enough to shock as well as motivate to do whatever can be done. This old-age home is focused on giving care and shelter to the destitute and mentally handicapped old people suffering from Alzheimer and Dementia. Most of the residents are from the homeless lot who never had a house or those who have been dumped by their families.

Some random photographs from the visit – please spare some thoughts – and try to visit the place – they need their rightful place – and they need us to act – WITHOUT FAIL!
