Cooking Classes with Someone New! / MOKSHADA CHOUDHARY

 

        Today I went to Manas Joyti Das Old Age Home to spend my time with these beloved people. It consisted about almost 64 members and all were females. The first thing that struck me was the tranquility that enveloped the premises. The gentle rustle of leaves, the distant laughter of residents, and the serene ambiance painted a picture of solace amidst life's tumultuous journey. Walking through the corridors, I couldn't help but notice the photos adorning the walls—snapshots frozen in time, each telling a story of a life lived with vigor and resilience.

        As I began conversing with the residents, I was humbled by their warmth and wisdom. Despite the inevitable challenges that come with aging, their spirits remained resilient, their smiles illuminating the room with a radiant glow. Each shared snippet of their life journey was a treasure trove of wisdom, offering profound insights garnered through decades of lived experiences.

        I also offered to cook something up for them. Not from starting but yes helping in the kitchen to learn how to handle food for a big crowd. I preped up simple things and sereved them food!

        As I bid farewell to the residents, my heart brimmed with gratitude for the opportunity to step into their world, if only for a fleeting moment. Their stories, etched in my memory, serve as a poignant reminder of the intrinsic value of every individual, irrespective of age or circumstance.

THE SMILES SAYS ALL

A CLOSE INTERACTION

            Exploring more in Ghuwati, I came up with one more old age home, Helping Hands Old age Home. It housed only male seniorities. I was surprised to see that from how far people have come. Some even came from Nepal and some from the other side of the country! But at end all that matters is that they were content and happy with everyone.            I spent almost 3 to 4 hours interacting with them. I was really in awe to know thier intrests at this age. Some liked to spend their time in religious matter, some were seeking out the joy of travelling around the city and some were only intrested in reading books and newspapers! It was a joy to see how productive they were under their compelling circumstances. Nonetheless, it was my pleasure coming to them and having one kind of a joy.
