Christmas Day at SD by Usha Baliga ...


Hello Arun,

Christmas Day at SD:
--------------------

The day started with various activities for the kids of Sahasra Deepika. Mr Dilip had organized a free dental check-up camp for the kids. When the kids were getting their teeth checked the rest of the kids were teamed up into 4 groups and we conducted organized games. Dr Vidya and Dr Manjunath friends of Dilip generously agreed to spend their precious time to check the oral health of the sahasra deepika kids. The kids with certain dental problems were asked to visit the dental clinic at a later date so that they can get the fixes done.

The other activities included indoor games, outdoor games, where every kid was made to actively participate in those games. Mr Karthick, Krishna Nair and Seema were the enthusiast behind these games. Some of the kids exhibited their talent at pot paintings and drawings. The paintings were so neatly done with least possible mess in the work place. We had scrumptious lunch prepared by the head cook of Sahasra Deepika. Ms Usha read couple of moral stories to the girls after lunch. Later after relaxing a bit we had half an hour session of Satsang. Mr Ravi and Arun Kumar sang few divine bhajans and the rest of the folks sang after them. All through the Satsang there was pin drop silence except for singing one wouldn't hear any other noise. The atmosphere was filled with the Omkars and melodious divine songs. When all these activities were going on the doctors were amicably doing their jobs except for lunch break they were busy as bees.
