They also serve who only stand and wait.

I won't forget, I can't forget this day in my lifetime! It gave me experiences that any classroom fails to dispense, any textbook fails to display. The two hours visit to 'Shanthi Mandiram', a home for the destitute, mentally challenged people, completely changed my perception of life on earth, and promised to haunt my thoughts permanently. Those innocent, dejected faces reminded me of the pitiable plight of the human race which I haven't witnessed or personally experienced till date. We exhibited our tiny talents before them, to make them a little bit happy or to make them engaged for a while. Their talents were astonishing and their pains tear-jerking. Words won't suffice to express our love for the handful of people who take care of those poor souls. They are God themselves in disguise, I should say. In a world where humanity hardly exists, these human Gods set examples to be followed. We prayed for them, we prayed with them and left the place with a heavy heart.
