The questions ...@Jo,<BR/><BR/>I think you have misunderstood. The questions were not asked by someone sadistic but someone who really cares for them. They are taught to associate to someone or to the phrase 'Mom' as someone who is really loving. They are taught that they can be accepted anywhere and that mom from soewhere will still love them as much. <BR/><BR/>It's your adult mind that decides that it is mean to address a question like this. For them, it is just taking the name of someone whom they really love and who loves them.Arunimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08528153539195340782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976244.post-1122203758261412672005-07-24T04:15:00.000-07:002005-07-24T04:15:00.000-07:00You Go Girl!You Go Girl!|| sbk ||https://www.blogger.com/profile/07933583834956271932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976244.post-1122066290570205412005-07-22T14:04:00.000-07:002005-07-22T14:04:00.000-07:00Arunima - lovely post - amazing.

But it would be more nice, if you spend once or twice a month with these kids, or help in an old age home -- visiting them, talking to them, listening to them, to see the happiness that can bring to their faces, to see what they demand is just love and caring and nothing else -- It is divine.<BR/><BR/>But it should not be a decision of a moment's thought. I have a friend who used to spend his Friday evenings at Purple Haze, a hard-rock fan and one day he said he got changed and started spending Sunday evenings at an orphanage. He said its good to have kids around and when I invited him for a drink when he came to Kerala, he refused. I thought the changes such as this wouldn't exist so long. Thus, he got reverted back after a short while. :-) Its always good to be normal, not in the extreme high or low. Then we can smell life and the pleasure and happiness it has in store for us.<BR/><BR/>About the insipration, you inspired me to improve my vocabulary and language. :-) (and am not saying this to impress you!)Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17511337418824516211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976244.post-1122050525434472142005-07-22T09:42:00.000-07:002005-07-22T09:42:00.000-07:00At the end of the day, your happiness is what that...At the end of the day, your happiness is what that matters, cos if u are happy ull automatically spread happiness around:-)<BR/>Nicely written..d4uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089777135222608227noreply@blogger.com
