A day with the destitute, the abandoned and the age old

Today, as we unfolded one more chapter of our precious life; we understood that we / as well as our so called problems are nothing infront of those who live in silence between the concrete walls of Jivodaya Ashralaya (or Jeevodaya Ashralaya). They had a life, which was torn into bits by someone/ or some phenomenon, and in the process of the collating back the bits, they lost their race. Today they are abandoned, and they too live happily by crying, screaming, talking and dreaming about their undefined lives with the Godly nuns (Sisters) of the Jivodaya Ashralaya. Though their smiles which appeared in gloomy faces, after seeing us, made our eyes wet; we stood stubborn infront of the undefined truth of the life.

Visit by REborn Riders to Sai Sahara Old Age Home : Event Facilitated by HelpingBrainz.Org

“Hope and future”, writes the Pope, “presuppose memory. The memory of the elderly gives us the support we need to continue on our path. The future of society … is rooted in the elderly and the young: the latter because they have the strength and youth to carry history forward, and the former because they are the source of living memory. A population that does not take care of the elderly and of children and the young has no future, because it abuses both its memory and its promise”. – Pope Francis

HelpingBrainz.Org’s Old Age Home Visit on Teacher’s Day 5/9/15

“A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning”. Brad Henry

HelpingBrainz.Org’s Elderly Care Team on September 5th celebrated Teacher’s day with the grandmas and grandpas of Sai Sahara Old Age Home, located in Rajendra Place.

We at HelpingBrainz.Org and our supporting volunteers, were again stunned by the silence in dark; How can a person send their parents/or grandparents to an old age home, cage them between the darkened walls, make them exposed to visitors like us – we were troubled by millions of undefined questions which churned our clueless brains, a feeling of zero gravity surrounded us. Though we were allotted 2 hours by the authorities, we tried our level best to make them smile for a while thereby creating a small orifice of light in the darkened rooms. As an astonishing fact, according to a global survey, Indian youth has become the most vulnerable in sending in their parents to an old age home, given than we hosts or we’re the successors of the world’s oldest civilization which respects elders.

“Let’s together enlighten ourselves, charity begins at home”

Sai Sahara Old Age Home, houses around 14 grandmas and grandpas is located at Dushghara Village in the outskirts of Rajendra Place (around 4 KMs from the Metro Station). The daily activities and routines are taken care Rajeshwari Ma’am (a psychologists) and her colleagues. Image2

Mother’s day with Grandmas and Grandpas of “Home for the Aged

“Let us never know what old age is. Let us know the happiness time brings, not count the years”- Ausonius

It was 4 in the evening when we landed there, and our sole aim was just to make the wrinkles stretched and make them happy for the time we are there. An old home is a place, which leaves us clueless about the cruel mankind, who can even think of caging their Ma and Pa after a certain stage. I was touched by the warmth they transferred to us which comprised of a grandma’s and grandpa’s affection.

“Old age is the most unexpected of all things that happen to a man” – Leon Trotsky. If this is a phenomenon which every individual goes through, then why they enroll their parents in an old age home, how can one even think about the same? The love they grandmas and grandpas have, god, to be honest made me in tears.

IMG-20150510-WA0043

Let’s take a pledge that we won’t cage our parents to an old age home, common they are our parents, the one who made us walk, learn, dream, think – then how come ? The world is 360 degree round.
– “She was the richest woman of Delhi, and now she is with us at our old age home as a resident” – mentioned the SPOC over there. Well is it called life ?
– “The son even takes away the fruits and cash from the mother, after visiting her every Sunday” – What will you call this ?

Ahh..No clue!
—————–
Helping Brainz on May 10th Sunday, on the occasion of Mother’s day planned of spending the second half of the day with the mothers who were denied their motherly hood or caged by their kids. We visited an old home in Fatehpur Beri, Chattarpur on Sunday evening and spent few hours making them smile wholeheartedly, Helping Brainz team member and few volunteers played ‘antakshiri’, distributed juices, and fruits and spend time gossiping with the grandpas and grandmas of the old age home.
Gitanshu Khurana from Helping Brainz, is the man behind this idea. 🙂

The people who thought of spending mother’s day with the grandmas and grandpas where
Ashish Mathew, Vijay Singh , Arya Devi Aunty, Varun, Sonam Griyaghey , Pankaj Jha and from hamara #TeamHelpingBrainzwe had Swati Saini, Kumar Madhuraj , Ragini Singh, Gitanshu Khurana, Ravi Prakash, Shubhangi Srivastava, Pratik Raj Bishen, Ritesh Sachdewa (and his wife) and Yedhu 🙂
