Throughout the course of your life, you meet certain people who are bundles of joy. When you talk to them, you won\u2019t be able to tell that they\u2019re deprived of the basic needs of life. Because these people have such wide smiles on their faces all the time, they\u2019re more than eager to learn, they\u2019re always excited to play and have fun, they\u2019re filled with the desire to fulfil their dreams and goals. They will welcome you with open arms even though you\u2019re a complete stranger to them, they will bond with you in seconds as salt dissolves in water.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is exactly how my experience at the Modi Mills Day Care Centre was. The second I walked through the doors, I was hit with a wave of enthusiasm as the children screamed, \u201cHi Didi,\u201d and that uplifted my spirits to a level I can\u2019t begin to describe. They have such big, kind hearts; they would make you a birthday card and make your special day even more special by singing you the birthday song.<\/span><\/p>\n

The heat doesn\u2019t bother them. They don\u2019t care if they have to live without an air conditioner; the hot summer breeze works just fine for them, it makes them immune to any injury that is caused to them while playing a game, say, of football. Lying in front of the cooler and taking in the refreshing whiffs on their faces is far more livening than any A\/C. <\/span><\/p>\n

And you know what my favourite part about this visit was? The game of antakshari<\/em>. And these kids rocked it! Abhishek, a boy of 9-10 years of age, knows all 90’s Bollywood songs and he sang them all with such energy that he left me baffled. Without a doubt (I\u2019m trying not to pick sides), he\u2019s the one I admire the most of all the kids. These kids knew of songs even I haven\u2019t ever heard or known about. <\/span><\/p>\n

Needless to say, this is the most fun I\u2019ve had in a really long time!<\/span><\/p>\n
