Today is september 5th and it brings back memories of Mother Teresa. Agnese Gonxhe who really was a rose bud who blossommed many peoples lives. On september 5th 1997 when she became immortal, she has left Missionaries of Charities with more than 4000 sisters and over 100000 volunteers who still server the poor and give sheltor to sick and homeless people.If not everyday atleast on September 5th may be we should try and do some charity is what I decided then on 5th september 1997.
I still remember the day. I was in college and it was Friday. When we just came out from prayers is when we heard the news of Mother Teresas demise. It came as a big shock though we knew that she was not well. But that was a big loss, a real big loss to humanity. We just couldnt control our tears. She was like a role model and someone who taught to see God in all beings. Someone who taught to love fellow human beings.
A person who has made difference to innumerable lives. Well whenever I think to write about Mother..I become wordless and my thoughts just goes blank. It still brings back the pain of losing her. But at the same time it reminds that we have a duty to do apart from taking care of our own lives and our family apart from that a bit of us belong to service. Atleast to make difference in one person life whom we do not know. That is what is a true service right.
I feel sad and irritated to see people spending on event shows which doenst add any value to anybodys life. For example last week in NDTV they showed a village where everyone are starving because of failure in harvest. The kids there have only bones left and mothers are crying thinking of what to feed their kids and what to feed themselves. I was telling my husband that atleast let us send some money. So we enquired NDTV on the address and trying to get some details. Immediately after that program there was a program where people are celebrating MJ's birthday after he has died. I know MJ has made a difference in people lives because of his music and dance. But where living becomes a question mark in some lives I dont know how could we spend millions on a birthday party of a person who is no more. What differnece it makes to whom. I still am not able to understand. May be am wrong too.
Anyways..I think its very important that every individual try to bring a difference in others lives. We need not be mother Teresa but atleast we can be a human being who understand fellow human beings and atleast if not every day, atleast one day to think about others those who are less fortunate and try to bring some happiness to them.
After 97, every 5th has become a day which would make me a little sad about Mother Teresa and also reminds me that Serivce to humanity is service to God. Also today is teachers day a day which is really special because for me Right from my LKG, my class teacher was Bavani till my college Mahalakshmi mam every person has been a memorable ones because of their service of their dedicatoin and commitment and enlightening us with knowledge.
Wishing all of you a happy teachers day and also wishing everyone to know that they are special and they can make others special too .
