Weekly Visits to My Favorite Place: Community Service at the Old Age Home / MOKSHADA CHOUDHARY

















        Every week, I eagerly anticipate my visit to the old age home, a place that has become dear to my heart. This journey of community service has not only enriched my life but has also allowed me to form meaningful connections with the residents, learning valuable life lessons along the way.

The Beginning of a Special Bond

        My first visit to the old age home was motivated by a desire to give back to the community. I wanted to make a difference in the lives of those who often feel forgotten and lonely. Little did I know, this simple act of service would grow into a deep affection for the place and its residents.

The Joy of Connection

        Walking through the doors of the old age home, I am always greeted with warm smiles and enthusiastic welcomes. The residents are eager to share their stories, experiences, and wisdom. Each visit is a unique experience, filled with laughter, learning, and heartfelt conversations. 

        Whether it’s playing a game of chess, reading a book aloud, or simply listening to their tales of the past, the time spent together is cherished by both the residents and myself. Their resilience and positivity, despite the challenges they have faced, inspire me every day.

Activities and Engagement

        To keep the visits engaging, I often organize various activities. Arts and crafts sessions, musical afternoons, and interactive games are some of the favorites among the residents. These activities not only provide entertainment but also stimulate their minds and encourage social interaction. 

        Celebrating birthdays and special occasions together has also become a tradition. These small gestures bring immense joy to the residents, making them feel loved and valued.

Learning and Growing

        The old age home is a treasure trove of wisdom. The residents, with their vast life experiences, have taught me invaluable lessons about patience, gratitude, and the importance of cherishing every moment. Their stories offer a glimpse into a bygone era, enriching my understanding of history and human resilience.

The Impact of Presence

        The simple act of being present and showing that someone cares can have a profound impact. Many residents look forward to these weekly visits, and the bonds formed have become a source of comfort and companionship for them. Knowing that my presence brings a smile to their faces is incredibly fulfilling.

A Reciprocal Relationship

        While my intention was to give back to the community, I have gained so much more in return. The love, respect, and wisdom shared by the residents have significantly enriched my life. The sense of fulfillment and joy I derive from these visits is immeasurable.

A Place Close to My Heart

        The old age home has truly become my favorite place. It is a sanctuary of love, learning, and genuine human connection. Each visit reinforces the importance of empathy, kindness, and the simple joys of life. 

        My weekly visits to the old age home are more than just community service; they are a journey of mutual growth, understanding, and heartfelt connections. This special place and its wonderful residents will always hold a significant place in my heart.

            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.
