It has been a while since I penned some thoughts.
10th October, was special not just because it was Akhil's birthday, but it got Nithya and me to be very touched and moved by his friends.
We got a call a couple of days before the 10th, to be invited to be part of an evening that his friends had planned for. They were keen to get dinner for kids at a blind school in Akhil's memory!
This was most touching and almost had me struggle to control my emotions. Young folks, with such values, to care for a friend who was no longer there.The same kids, who a few years ago had gate crashed home early morning, on a 10th with a cake for him.
I admire these friends who seem to ready to teach many an adult on caring and respect.
Not just for a friend they loved and was not around, but even to us, his parents for whom they felt they needed to be around with, on that day.
Salutes to them and their parents, for bringing up such gems.
Truly, God's children! May God be with them!
