Its OUR turn now...

It was a hot afternoon in May when the doorbell rang. Malati was busy cooking. “Uff! Did someone have to come now! Wiping her hand impatiently she opened the door. The courier-delivery boy stood there. “Courier, Madam “, He said. Grabbing the package Malati scrawled her signature irritatedly. When she handed the paper back, she saw the young man‘s face. “Poor Boy. It must hard making deliveries in the sweltering heat “, She thought. When the boy requested for a glass of water her annoyance gave way to sympathy. She invited him in, offered him some refreshments and gave him a cool glass of buttermilk. The boy was surprised and said, “Madam, I only wanted a glass of water ‘. “ Drink it, It will refresh you, “Malati said. A smile broke out on the boy’s face as he drank the buttermilk. Malati felt her anger vanish only to be replaced by a bubble of happiness.

Friends, we all feel wonderful when shown sympathy. Why don’t we spend some time to pass it on? It’s our turn now. Let‘s work together to make this world a better place to live in.

GIVE THE BEST TO THE WORLD & THE BEST COMES BACK TO YOU..

Its your friend's birthday and you want to gift him something. You gift  him a chocolate. After 15 minutes, the chocolate is finished. You think of giving him a toy car. In a few days it is broken or lost. But if you give him happiness, it stays in his heart forever.

Chiranthana summer camp  was the place where I felt that when you give happiness to others, it always comes back to you multiple folds  from other people. Children I thought  to be very arrogant and bullish, were found to be very warm and accommodating;friends I thought to be not-so easy moving were in contrast, were very caring, sharing and fun-loving. Reality was far from my imagination; May be the fun, merriment & closeness amongst us has let them be their true self, I thought.   

"You should give everyone the best you have..and the best comes back to you" - someone, somewhere rightly says. We shared our best moments, laughter, thoughts and got back the same from others as well.

Chirantana was an opportunity to treasure our memories of 2014. We had a great beginning for our academic year. I shall eagerly wait to meet all my present & new friends in Chiranthana- 2015.

ಭದ್ರ ಬೇರಿರಬೇಕು ..

Welcome to our kutumbam....

Chirantana runs on the principle - OF THE CHILDREN, BY THE CHILDREN, FOR THE CHILDREN. All the activities conducted will be for the empowerment of each child.

Last year we had a residential camp for ten days in the month of April 2013 where 15 children participated. This year we had two different camps conducted. One at New Vistas Kids, off Bannerghatta road for three weeks in the month of April. The other camp was for seven days in JC Nagar near Kurubarahalli in the month of May. The camps included prayer, Samskruta-Samaya, making reusable craft, Value based stories, theme based Dance-Drama performance and various games.  It was amazing to watch children exhibiting tremendous skills, leadership qualities, co-operation and winning and team spirit. By the end of the camp the parents were in surprise to watch their child who could boldly speak who was otherwise a shy nature girl. A boy who never went on stage thrilled their parents by performing jovially in a dance. If few children went back home with tears in their eyes, most of them regretted that the camps got over in no time.
