This touching pictures and poem took me back to 20 years , when social service was part of our LTS class. We used to spend our weekend there with Bajays and Bojus,bathing them, clipping their nail, combing their hair, listening to what they had to tell us about their lives and little fight that they have among themselves, their frustrations, their loneliness.It was indeed depressing, but I used to console myself by positive thought.. "it's better to be at ashram and have two meals a day than be mistreated by own chidren and grand children". some of the stories were so heart breaking..Reminds me the nepali saying "sano ma marla bhannay daar, thulo bhaya pachi maarla bhannay daar"..we could just do little constribution to this ashram but definately we could make a big difference by taking care of our parents and grand parents!!all they need from us is LOVE. Poem is really touching**
