Miles away from Delhi, when I was in school...mere thought of going to Appu Ghar used to twin up my hair in excitement. The day couldn't have been better mythologically... it was the birthday of Maryada Purshottam Rama.It was a perfect day.. bright and sunny. When 45 odd kids queued up for an entry to Appu Ghar this Tuesday, it was a day when the gap was bridged between haves and have not. Spectators were surprised, happy, disgusted... there were all kind of emotions around.
It was certainly a unique sight when KHOJ-kids shrugged shoulder with rich fat kids, when they rushed to grab a tube or win a seat of aride from there rich counterparts. Bhoot bangla, Bumpercars, Columbus, Fair Lady to name a few but kids ensured they didn't miss out any ride. When they were hungry there was always something to gobble around apart from delicious lunch. They understood a new meaning of dancing in rain when they entered Oysters. When kids jumped into the water..it was an amalgam of an unique kind.
Kids had an experience which they are going to cherish for long. It's imperative that volunteers couldn't have enjoyed less when kids were having so much fun. Altogether the trip was well planned and executed. Thanks for everyone who was behind it.
