Some life

Today morning they had travelled from their respective villages to board at the training center. They looked fresh on their arrival and looked fresh too all the day. They walked round the campus happily, met and talked to new people joyfully, gained knowledge curiously and participated in the class happily. Before the night shaded its dark shadows they over the phone talked caringly with their families!

The world looks happy place to them. They are positivity to life. May be their simplicity has made the evil of world invisible to them! They appear at ease in today’s speedy age! They take life as it comes! May be them not being over ambitious makes the life at ease for them! They looked innocent and simple all up the day to all the day down. But their simplicity was graced with sparkle of their eyes! I don’t remember when last I had seen eyes, missing the ‘I know’ attitude!

Their talks were informal but the indirect ‘show up’ in declaration of one’s achievements and possessions was missing. Their words were gentle and the flow of respect was without hidden messages and agendas! Their laugh and fun activities were soul pleasing. Their simplicity and yet liveliness, their limited resources and yet joyfulness, their limited knowledge and acknowledging that fact their curiosity to learn, in all I had impressive first day with them.

They are the teachers working with me, now are participating in 4 days “Adult Literacy Training” at Loyola Center, Nadiad. They call me ‘sir’ but I have to be their disciple to learn some ‘life’!
