Life became more beautiful after my son birth on Sep 11th
2013, spent four days in hospital with wife and son. He looked very handsome and his skins were too soft, in the corner of heart I there is say he changed my generation color :)
On the fifth day, we planned to discharge from hospital and taking him to in law home...I am bit social conscious always and thought when my son step his first step in home I need to celebrate his arrival in different way... I and Karthik (Cousin Brother of my wife) after returning from cinema saw a pet shop where the rabbits, pigeon, sparrow and few are prisoned (Jailed) inside a cage. The birds are supposed to be flying freely in air and enjoying,
due to human selfishness and to add beauty to balconies we are arresting them inside a cage... “How do you feel when you being house arrested for a year or two, don’t you go mad”... Idea clicked, purchased two pigeons for 500 INR and walked towards in law home... For a surprise to my wife and son, hided the pigeons inside my car...
After my wife stepped out from car with baby, I stopped her and asked her to release the pigeons from cart, she and my son with gentle fingers touched it and released the pigeons... For a few minutes the pigeons don’t know where to go and afterwards it flew away happily in different directions...My family was in In-Law home for 2 months and came back to Coimbatore after naming ceremony...
Naming ceremony was celebrated in Komarapalayam, a place near bhavani in tamilnadu... The initial plan was to celebrate the naming ceremony in a grand manner by booking a big hall and celebrating it but my heart doesn’t give a way to that plan. Instead of wasting money this way, why can’t I spend this money in a social way...? That’s where the idea of serving the food for orphan people came (thought came after watching the movie “aathalaal kadhal seiver”).
Celebrated the naming ceremony in a nearby temple, my brother in law supposed
to be the one who needs to tell the name of my son first time in my son ear, as he is in USA my son sat in father in law lap and I said the name of my son... “Beautiful moments”. Called brother in law through mobile as I don’t want anyone to take
his position “Thaai Maamn” and asked him to tell the name, he said “Nidharshan”...After few rituals and four hours of travel, my son reached Coimbatore…
For the next few hours sat with my brother and discussed about my idea of serving the food to orphan kids and planting few trees in name of my son., There is a NGO “Nilal Mayam” where my brother is an active participant and used to go every Sunday early morning to serve food for street beggars, Orphan kids and to elder people who doesn’t get support from their kids anymore (Mudhiyoor illam).. Withdrawn the money from ATM and drove towards the home of the person who started the Nilal Mayam NGO. On the way, my brother said about his achievements and his attitude “Inspiring one”... I handed over the money to NGO chairman for the next day food expenses and discussed about the plan. Next day came, The initial plan was going to begger home and serving food to them, since it is a sensitive area and the place doesn’t look good I was asked to serve the food in three different places (Home for women , Orphan people in St.Mary church and for the
kids in government school)..
While serving the food for these people I felt the importance of food...From that day I stopped wasting the food, if I am not able to eat the food completely either in hotel or home ,I parcel and give to the people who in need in food or feed stray dog...
I was 30 minutes delay to St.Mary church in Ganapathy, 30 minutes late to the place doesn’t looked big deal to me until I saw the kids waiting for food under a hot sun...Tears in my eyes, in one way I thought why should I support orphanages, increase in the orphanages making the people to do bad things and throw their kids in garbage or somewhere. On the other way, who is there to support them...? Kids stood in line and started praying for my son,
“Lets the son of Shanmuga kumar & Hemalatha live long with good health”... After the prayer is done, I asked my father to start serving the food “For every son father is the role model” and after him I followed…
Had conversation with the kids and moved to the next place “government school”… After so long, going to a government school, not maintained properly, bathrooms floor filled with water and untolerable smells... Now a days “People fantancy is on private school,then how government schools will improve” but for sure, government school teachers are well educated than private school teachers... Served the food to kids and I too had food with them...These kids have a good habit, before eating the food they are praying god and for the people who served the food...
The next plan was to plant the trees but not able to make it up as I had another plan in home but I am happy that, I did something worthful and close to my heart... There is a government park near my home , the next day I , brother and father planted trees in name of Nikshitha (Sister daughter) ,Nidharshan , Vinay (Brother in law son)… The trees started growing, inhaling the carbon dioxide and making the earth cool “The better place to live”...
