A visit to an Old Age Home...

"The complete life, the perfect pattern, includes old age as well as youth and maturity. Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth."
-W. Somerset Maugham

There can be only a handful of memories which leave such an imprint in our lives that it stays with us forever! The slightest mention gushes down the flashbacks right before our eyes. One such heart warming  experience for our team members of PANKH would be the visit to the Old Age Home “ANUBHAV" at Heera Path, Mansarovar, Jaipur.
They  appreciated the fact that the young generation was taking interest and coming to spend a little time with the old people in the old age home. They applauded the  initiative taken by the college authorities and the students thoroughly.

Overall, they gave importance to rightful living and inculcated the values of honesty and responsibility in us. They looked at us with their eyes glistening with hope as they bade us goodbyeThe only thought that lingered in my mind is as to how “Fact can be stranger than Fiction at times”, the stories about the abandonment, rejection and plight which surely remained untold but was buried deep inside their eyes.
