May be, just may be, for a li'l while i was distracted to do something for spastic kids rather than for orphans. In the first submission where two options were to be discussed, I almost fought for Spastic school.(not 'cuz I was biased or anything....but it was more 'cuz i had done my background work on that) But, I guess, my faculty was more far sighted than I was at that point of time, and here I am, thinking about these children I met at my site visit to Bhimtal. And, now, if I think, I'm going to design their home, I know for sure who's going to fight for which room, who's going to play with their toys in the balcony, and who's more prone to crying late at night because the nearby tree would make shadows in the dark......when I know whom I am designing for, it makes my task a lot easier, or may be a bit tougher, 'cuz I might get partial for a few of them with whom i really really connected over there....
My association with hills is old. I connect with them. May be because of the contrasts they have to offer. And every trip to the hills changes me in someway. For instance, this one, my site visit to Bhimtal, and my stay in Nainital.....it taught me things I wouldn't have learnt sitting here in the plains with a sure shelter over my head. It was more of an experience rather than a site visit. The journey was nothing but soul stirring. And being me, I know one thing for sure, no matter how touching it is, no matter how badly stirred i get , with time, i am prone to forget the entire experience and only the feeling that i got back then would remain somewhere......so, this time, it'd not be so. And I plan to freeze some part of it. Right here.
