Still standing strong

… Finally it was time to go see their houses. Shruthi, Snigdha and I decided to go together and we went with 2 siblings; Keerthana and her younger brother. At first they seemed surprised that we actually wanted to come and see their house, but after they asked us about 50 times to make sure we really wanted to and we confirmed it just as many times, they excitedly showed us their houses. As was expected all of their houses were small, dingy, with inadequate sanitation and unhygienic conditions. Regardless of that, I enjoyed myself as I watched Keerthana’s face beam up with pride when she showed us her house. I remember it so vividly. Her face beaming and her minuscule little house standing strong next to her. It was extremely beautiful. I don’t know how else to describe it. There was something so real about that situation and her corresponding smile that I can’t really put my finger on it now..

Dance like there’s no tomorrow

…I was asked to repeat this entire process (of playing music and dancing) but with just the boys because they never properly got a chance to dance. They obviously went crazy dancing as well, if not more so than the girls. There was one boy in particular I just loved watching. He literally was dancing like a hero from a Tamil movie with full on expressions and emotions and style. I wouldn’t be surprised if he really made it big in the cinema world one day.
As I was standing there watching them dance I felt a huge grin on my face that I now realise would have looked extremely stupid to an external observer. But I couldn’t help myself. I was in awe of these children. Seeing them happy, no matter how short that time might be, really did some good things to my brain because I went home feeling on top of the world. They come from such diverse, different and difficult backgrounds. Yet, it was so easy for them to just let go and be free with who they were as people and dance like there was no tomorrow. I was really happy watching that. Yes, it definitely made my week…

Facing the giants!!

To be honest, I’m not very good with children. In fact, I used to dislike spending any time with them at all. When I took up this internship, it was with a view to overcome my inhibitions as well as do something productive in the world and actually volunteer for some real and worthwhile work.
 
So when I ended up arriving before everyone else on the first day, I was obviously very lost because there were just children all around me. Finally, I quite worrying and approached them and had a really good conversation with them about where I was from. I found myself laughing and completely comfortable with these little children. Then of course, everyone came and the stalls were in full swing. I’m part of the dance stall and first we had only girls in our stall. I was surprised at how well behaved and respectful they were. I took a liking to all of them instantly and we had a lot of fun dancing to all sorts of fun dances. What made us move the most was the awesome Tamil music I played. We all went mad dancing and those girls really know how to shake it! They were teaching us how to dance by the end of it. Then after this, the boys came in because they got completely excited by the music and wanted to dance as well. But in order to calm them down, we had to play a couple of games first. By which point I observed the first fight between two boys among what I expect will be many. But they patched things up. It ended up getting late so we couldn’t continue with the dances and the day came to a close by each one of the kids coming to me and saying bye and shaking my hand and making me feel so good and content with the day’s activities.
 
This caravan has really taught me things about myself as well. I actually ended up being really good with these children. I felt that I really connected with some of them. What I loved most about them was the fact that you could just be so free and open with these children about who you are and they seem to accept you no matter what. The day was extremely fruitful and I remember I went to sleep at peace, knowing that I could contribute in some way. However big, however small. I am learning.
