The Kakrala Camp

Arun called on 1st to ask if he could come along for the health camp on 5th. It was such a morale booster particularly when things are difficult and mercury is soaring.

Delhi team this time had Mohit, Arif, Arun and Shahid. Dharmendra joined Sudhir from Kanpur and we assembled at Etah. Babloo was considerate enough to meet us as soon as we reached there and Mohit & Arun enjoyed a warm glass (or was it cool) of milk courtesy him. The light kept playing hide and seek. The AC did not work and yet we slept well.

Dr. Harendra the lone warrior from Agra drove down to attend the camp. Thank you Bhai. Dr. Poornesh Chandra and his team came from Aligarh. Bhaskar Bhai is getting conspicuous by his absence. It was very hot at Kadarganj the venue of the camp. But that did not deter people from coming and it was an impressive turn out of 1200 beneficiaries.

In between we visited Sakeet and it was a good break. The visit to Khana ka Nagla can also be mentioned here. We could gift a lot of items to Seema for her marriage and it was good to see smiling faces in a village that had been ravaged by fire.

On return to Patiyali, the Tilak ceremony of Amit Dwivedi was attended. Marriage on 7th could not be attended. Sudhir left for Lucknow all alone and that was a dampener. Let us hope he doent have to travel alone to Lucknow next time.

Dharmendra kept us company till Mathura and then it was the regular stuff. One by one we finally reached our destinations at 2 AM.

On the Bhargain camp some lines were quoted. Relevant here to quote the next few:

     अनचाहा या मनचाहा
जैसा भी हो परिणाम धनञ्जय
  अनासक्त सम्बुद्धियुक्त तू
नित्य किये जा काम धनञ्जय

Kakrala and Ganj

On 28th and 29th May, a small team of Anubhuti visited Kakrala and Ganjdundwara. At kakrala the marriage of Soni was solemnised. There were smiles around although the signs of fire at that place could still be seen. Anubhuti made a small contribution in bringing back those smiles. Soni's father was a much relieved man.

Visit to Ganj was more to keep a promise than any thing else. It was a cricket tournament that was concluding. Pankaj Glass Works of Ferozabad won defeating the local Ganj team. Prizes were distributed.

Sudhir returned to Lucknow on 28th itself as he had some engagements. Dharmendra has moved to Mathura so he kept company till Mathura.

This visit was made possible by Shailendra, Sudhir, Dharmendra, Babloo, Sajid, Shahid and Amjad.

Another Health Camp, another journey in the making.
