Hi,,,,,,,,,
It was 11th july...nd exactly month left for my 18th birthday. I was really exited nd happy 4 dat....(sounds childish na?). Morng i went 2 coll nd evenin i had a dance programme (bharatanatyam). I nd my frnd Aditi were supposed 2 dance...(only 2 of us....d whole programme.). The programe was in Neeral Dignity lifestyles Senior citizens home..(near Matheran)... For d first time we were dancin in such a kind of atmosphere so we (teacher, aditi and i) were very exited.. We reached there on time....Man d place iz simply superbe....out of d world...full of greenery..... The crowd was say abt some 30-40 peopl.....Then we finished our dance It was goood....Nd d best part was everyone, everyone had a smile on their face....We were being praised and applauded...but i was a bit apprehensive...(u may b thinkin why......na???) The crowd had 30 old people....out of which 10-15 people were sufferin frm Alzemia..(have'nt heard abt it) Itz a psychological disorder in which a person totally losses his memory nd does'nt remember anythin ,even wheather he had his food or not.... Their condition was pathetic... All of us were choaked with emotions..... All dese people r here coz dey r not taken care of by deir children....their own children...Why such an injustice 2 dem? Wat had dey done? Are they payin for their sins or just for havin children who dont care at all abt dem..
We had so many people blessin us, cuddlin us on dat day... We were fortunate enough 2 give dem happiness ...Happiness for one hr....We were fortunate enough to see a smile on their face....smile for one hr... THIS IS LIFE...........very very unpredictable.... You dont know wat u will b aftr 30-40 yrs.... So many of dem were grrttt artists, and well known peopl in their adulthood..
I am a very sensitive, emotional and a lovin person...... for me all dis was like hell.... but wat to do u have to accept the fact of life.... And dats how my day ended ...... This day was full of mixed feelings of Happiness, Exictement, Love, Sympathy, Sorrow, Gratefullnes and a lot of Respect.... It was a ggrrttt day..........

Well....very rightly said....its a heart wrenching ailment....I also came across an old lady suffering from the same. Its really a pathetic condition....but that is what life is all about. A person can live life 2 the fullest only if he is dying 2 live.
Interesting story.
Keep writng.
