Happiness Delivered

Joy of giving is more or less everything. Yet, it has always been debatable whether talking about the small good deeds we do is pompousness or is it required considering it could motivate others. There have been times where I have been very public about even giving a Natraj pencil to a kid, there have also been times where we have very secretively helped someone in need. The conflict still continues in my head as I write this blog. 

Visited Bangalore after 20 months post pandemic, one of the first few things that came to my mind is Belaku Vridhashrama at J P Nagar.

Though I have been visiting the Basavangudi branch of Belaku which is an orphanage much more frequently, somehow remembered the old age home this time. Rains made sure my inperson visit plans kept getting cancelled. I finally decided to call up the place to get their needs and courier(Dunzo) it. 

The needs were extremely minimal. Soaps, shampoos ,grocery etc for 4 of them which costed almost nothing. These things reminded me of my grandmother who is not in Bangalore anymore due to ill health. I was somehow feeling disconnected to Bangalore during this visit, but,  for the first time I saw my grandmother in these things that I bought for the elderly women. 

I penned a small emotional note in an Ink pen as:

I used to stay in Bangalore with my grandmother who is not in this city anymore due to ill health. I see my grandmother mother in all 4 of you and sending few things out of love and wishing you all live healthily and happily ever after ...

Your Grand Daughter,

Chinku 

I pasted the note on the parcel. The courier delivery partner arrived and sounded pretty excited to know that he will have to deliver it to the old age home. I was worried if the rain drizzles would affect my letter written in ink pen. He told me that he would take special care of it which made me happy. 

As I happily satisfactorily resumed my daily works, I got a call from Belaku that the delivery partner has not only delivered the parcel but is also happily spending some time with the elders 😊
