Day 15
Volunteered with the prasadam and theertham distribution at the nearby Ramalayam with both the kids today. Two hours well spent! Found the calmness and peace that I had been searching for the past few days.. And the kids loved helping around.. No camera to clicks pictures.. But they don't allow photography inside temples anyways... #joyofgiving #day15

Day 4
It took me a good ten minutes to get them to accept the fact that they had been gifted!
I asked them how they felt.. They told me that no body had done something like this for them before!! The two friends gave me the brightest smiles ever..thanked me and sat down to enjoy their ice creams..
A day that ended well !!! #Day4, #joyofgiving..
Day 3
I had seen this lady before.. Many times.. Sometimes in our building.. Sometimes outside.. Who was she?? I did not know.. I did not care to know.. And why should I? I had nothing to do with her.. But we used to smile at each other whenever we crossed paths (or rather, she used to smile at my kids and I used to smile at that!) But today.. I stopped.. Took notice of what she was doing.. Where she was going.. Came to know that she was a maid who works for one of my neighbours..
There! I knew just whom to gift a bit of happiness.. Nothing much.. Some fruit.. But when I walked upto her and gave her the fruits.. She asked me why?? I said I just wanted to say Hi!! And she said.. But nobody has done that to me ever!!.....
.....and saying so.. She gifted me exactly what I was looking for.. JOY!!
#Day3, #joyofgiving
Day2
I take this opportunity to thank all the lovely teachers out there for their selfless act. No wonder the kids love them as much as they love us, their parents.. Madhavi Joga , Sucharitha Joga , Malvika Naidu we are so proud of you..
And on #Day2 of the #joyofgiving initiative, I went ahead and thanked E's class teacher for being able to manage 25 pre primary kids each day and yet manage to keep the charming smile on her face intact, by the end of the day! A small bouquet of flowers and genuine appreciation for Mrs. Poonam Talwar.. You have given us immense joy Maam!
So here's a fellow mommy and a dear friend at E's school who has been gifted what she was searching for quite sometime now.. A pair of diamond shaped earrings.. Padmaja Mandarapu you have given me tremendous joy today!!Thank you!! #Day1 #joyofgiving
