So, we had planned for some mauj n masti with the kids at Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity Home, Sector 23. Some mauj masti. Not even in our wildest imaginations did we think this some would turn into helluva !! Oh boy, what a helluva day it was! The bachalog were so enthu, so versatile, so talented, so chirpy and I am so out of words to describe what an awesome bunch these kids were!
Surprisingly, it was the kids who opened up to us first! So the didis and the bhaiyas began by giving rides to the kids on the numerous jhoolas in the playground. Not to mention that most of us couldn't resist hopping on the jhoolas ourselves! So there we were, sharing the rides with these lovely kids when one of the boys brings out his cricket bat and ball...and so an interesting game of cricket begins. The volunteers began by bowling some easy ones to kids, only to find that they these kids are no less than Sachin! No matter how hard we tried, the kids hit every delivery flying for boundary. It was a miracle we didn't break any windows! I must say that the bachalog played cricket very well, okay okay, they played better than I ever can! My only consolation being Kaval's cricket skills, which I am happy to say are worse than mine. Unlike her, I can get the ball to reach the batsman! :)
Tired by our playground adventures, we sat around this awesome guy, who could easily be the Indian Idol! He sang such a variety of songs, from Hare Ram Hare Ram to Himesh Reshamiya's songs (minus the nasal touch!). Boy, this place was full of talent.
And how could I forget that sweet little girl...jiske (in her own words) "daant tut gaye!". Gosh, she was sooo cute!! I hope kisi ne uska photo liya ho!We had such a great time that I hope We Volunteer returns to Mother Teresa's Home for another day of hullava mauj n masti. I know I will...
