IT HAS BEEN NEARLY 20 YEARS SINCE I HAVE DEDICATED MYSELF SERIOUSLY IN SOCIAL WORK.THE WHOLE PRACTISE STARTED, THANX TO MY SCHOOL,' S'T PAUL'S BOARDING AND DAY SCHOOL',WHEN I WAS A STUDENT THERE.MYSELF BEING A DAY SCHOLAR,I UNDERSTOOD THE PANGS AND LONGINGS OF MY FRIENDS IN THE BOARDING,WHO WERE NOT VERY WELL OFF AND MAJORLY ORPHANS...THAT'S WHERE THE THOUGHT OF 'GIVING AND SHARING' STRUCK ME VOCIFEROUSLY! FURTHER WE HAD AN OLD AGE HOME IN OUR PREMISE WHERE I WOULD JUST SHUDDER WITH THE THOUGHT,EVEN IN SUCH AN YOUNG AGE,OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO ME WHEN I AM AS OLD AND FRAIL AS THESE FOLKS ARE,WITH THEIR NEAR AND DEAR ONES DISCARDING THEM AFTER PEELING THE BANANA!!I WOULD CRY AT TIMES TO SEE THE LONELINESS,WHEN WE ALL USED TO VISIT THEM TO GIVE THEM GIFTS DURING EASTER AND CHRISTMAS.THERE WAS ANOTHER SOURCE OF MY PRESENT MINDFRAME OF DOING FOR UNDER-PRIVILEGED PEOPLE,ESPECIALLY FOR THE CHILDREN .....MY PROJECTS IN 'SOCIAL SERVICE' AND 'MORAL SCIENCE'....I WOULD,VERY SERIOUSLY,TAKE THE LESSONS LEARNT FROM MY MORAL SCIENCE CLASSES AND IMPLEMENT THEM IN MY LIFE OR OTHER'S LIVES...BUT..BEING A MORTAL,IT'S VERY VERY DIFFICULT TO BE A SAINT...WHEN YOU ARE BORN A SINNER!! SINCE THEN I HAVE DONE BIZZARE THINGS IN STATIONS,FOOTPATHS,ROADS,RED-LIGHT AREAS,MY HOUSEHOLD,NEIGHBOURHOOD, HERE IN KOLKATA,OTHER PARTS OF WEST BENGAL,OTHER PARTS OF INDIA AND MANY OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD,FOR PEOPLE WHO LACK WHATEVER, I HAVE IN EXCESS!! I HAVE NEVER EVER DONE THAT WITH ANY REGISTERED NGO OR ANY OTHER AGENCY AS,THE TYPE OF FIERCELY INDEPENDENT PERSON THAT I AM,I FELT IT OUTRIGHTLY PLAUSIBLE TO DO WHAT I LIKE TO DO,WITHOUT BEING UNDER ANYONE.I AM BORN ALONE...I LIKE TO LIVE ALONE...I KNOW I WILL DIE ALONE...THAT'S LIFE FOR ME...EVERYTHING POSING AS 'COMPANY'IS AN ILLUSION..A TEMPORARY ONE!! ..ANYWAY...THE REASON TO SHARE ALL THIS HIDDEN SOURCE OF HAPPINESS IN MY LIFE IS... THIS DIWALI..... I HAVE BEEN WITH SOME STREET-CHILDREN,FOR SOMETIME..AND HAD ASKED THEM, WHAT THEY WISHED ME TO DO FOR THEM, THIS DIWALI...ASKED THEIR DREAMS...WHICH I WOULD TRY TO FULFILL WITHIN MY CAPACITY....I WAS TOUCHED BY THEIR VERY SHORT LIST OF INNOCENT ASPIRATION... TO BE A 'WANTED'..'LONGED FOR'...'CARED FOR'...'LOVED' CHILD ON THIS DIWALI!! BELIEVE ME...YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN IN TEARS WHEN THIS VERY ANGELIC PINT SIZED CUTIE 'SHARIF'HUGGED ME AND SAID.."BHAIA, WOH *#@ (A POPULAR RESTAURANT) KA GUARD HUMEY BAHUT GALIYA DETA HAIN..BHAGA DETA HAIN..KYUN KI HUM NANGE HAIN..BHIKHARI HAIN IS LIYE...HUMEY US HOTEL ME LEKE CHALIYE,JAHAN WOHI GAURD HUME GOODMORNING BOLEGA AUR NIKALTE WAQT THANYOU BHI BOLEGA"...THAT'S 'HIS' REVENGE AGAINST MANKIND..AGAINST THIS UNFAIR JUSTICE OF GOD...!!WHAT HAPPENED WAS A HILARIOUS AND A GLORIOUS STORY,TO BE DISCUSSED IN A DIFFERENT FORUM..BUT THERE YOU ARE...THESE GUYS DO NOT WANT MONEY AS MUCH AS THEY WANT ACCEPTANCE IN THIS SOCIETY!! THE REASON THAT I AM SHARING THIS WITH YOU ALL IS BECAUSE I AM A VERY VERY VERY HAPPY MAN TODAY,AFTER I HAVE DONE WHAT I COULD DO, TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITIES,FOR SHARIF(RED),JAHANGIR(ORANGE),AKRAM(GREEN) AND MADE THEM VERY VERY VERY HAPPY SOULS,ATLEAST FOR TODAY,WHEN 90% OF US INDIANS WILL JUST BURN CRORES AND CRORES OF RUPEES JUST FOR THE SAKE OF ENJOYING!!I AM A CONTENDED MAN TO KNOW FOR SURE THAT THEY WILL GO TO SLEEP TONIGHT ATLEAST,WITH THE THOUGHT THAT,EVEN THEY ARE LOVED BY SOMEONE!! THANKYOU GOD FOR GIVING ME THIS THIRST OF GIVING,EVEN WHEN I COULD SPARE 10p,OR EVEN NOW WHEN I CAN SPARE 100p,OR TOMORROW WHEN I MAY SPEND Re1 OR GO BACK TO 10p ON THEM! SOMEONE WAS REASONING, QUITE RUDELY WITH ME THE OTHER DAY, WHEN I SAID TO HIM THAT ALL THIS EXTRAVAGANT PUJAS AND SO ON ARE BECOMING CYNICAL FROM MY POINT OF VIEW,IN A POOR POOR LAND LIKE OURS. WE 'WORSHIP' GOD ...BUT WE ARE SHOWING OFF AND COMPETING WITH OUR WORSHIP AND FAITH WITH MONEY, HERE!! HE REASONED THAT THESE FESTIVALS GIVE A LOT OF PEOPLE EMPLOYMENT AND GIVE ORDINARY PEOPLE ENJOYMENT OUT OF THEIR TENSED FREE LIVES!!I AGREE.. SOME PEOPLE DO GET EMPLOYED FOR 5 DAYS,BUT HAS HE REALLY CARED TO FIND OUT WHAT THAT ACCUMULATED AMOUNT OF INCOME OF THESE PEOPLE IS, IN RATIO WITH THE AMOUNT OF 'EXCESS' MONEY SPENT ON THEMES,LIGHTS ETC?I AGREE PEOPLE DO ENJOY...BUT DOESN'T HE HIMSELF REALIZE,THE 'ENJOYMENT' COMES WITH A VERY VERY STEEP AND UNNECESSARY COST THAT EVERYONE OF US HAVE TO CUT FROM OUR POCKETS, TO FILL THE TREASURIES OF THE INNUMERABLE ASSOCIATIONS,WHO CARRY ON WITH THE FESTIVITIES BEYOND THE CALENDAR DAYS OF THE PUJA,WASTING MONEY, ENERGY, ELCTRICITY, AND WHO ARE HELLBENT ON WINNING SENSELESS PRIZES AND DANCE SALSA ON NEWS CHANNELS,WHICH I MISTAKE AS 'ANIMAL PLANET' AT TIMES,FORGETTING THAT THIS MONEY AND ENERGY COULD HAVE BEEN OUTSOURCED TO THE NEEDY..TO THOSE WHO REALLY WANT A 'THEME' IN THEIR LIVES!! EVEN I BELIEVE IN FESTIVITY,IN HAPPINESS,IN BRIGHTNESS,IN TRUE FAITH...BARRING THE SHOW-OFF PART...BUT REALLY I DON'T SUPPORT THIS WASTAGE...IT'S SACRILEGE!! HENCE I HAVE WITHDRAWN FROM ALL SUCH OCCASIONS WHERE PEOPLE IN THEIR HERD-MENTALITY, WASTE THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY!!
