A visit to Happiness

Image
Its been almost a year and a half I personally got associated with AJ Foundation and Madhurbhav.  Of course, there was an indirect connection for many years, as Mr Harshad Deshpande  (Board member AJ Foundation) has been Family for almost a decade. Thus, Mrs.Deshpande and I had been informally doing certain things on creative ends for Madhurbhav. It was in January 2017 that we decided to take up social media activity, blogs, and other writing stuff for madhurbhav on a channelizing front and a little more regular. That is where my formal association with Madhurbhav, the people there, their stories, became more prominent. Since the time I began writing, I have always been in awe of the raw blog stories that came to me from madhurbhav for editing and presenting them in the right way. The connect and understanding of madhurbhav and members is beyond amazing.  Being a mass communication and journalism postgraduate, my inclination has always been towards writing.

A regular visit to bliss, it was. but; it gave me a totally different perception of the connections and emotional bondings, madhurbhavians have with one another. It was a wonderful experience. Mrs.Kulkarni is now at an advanced stage of dementia. Where her conversation is absolutely vague. One sentence has no relevance to the next.Even before you ask her, to introduce herself,  She will start with where she comes from, what's the areas name, roads, landmarks and then suddenly jump to discussing about children and then say something about a distant niece, her job profile with Air-India, etc . and it goes on to losing track in a few seconds. We have another senior age 103 Years ( Wakalkar Ajoba), he is fit and well versed in conversing. he shares his life story with everyone and also at intervals, sneaks around in the kitchen for sweets . During the group activities, we observed that mrs.kulkarni connected to wakalkar ajoba as a friend. she would try to communicate with him,
