[www.keralites.net] THE TRAIN OF MY LIFE

The Train Of Life

At birth we boarded the train and met our parents,
and we believe they will always travel on our side.

However, at some station
our parents will step down from the train,
leaving us on this journey alone.

As time goes by,
other people will board the train;
and they will be significant
i.e. our siblings, friends, children,
and even the love of your life.

Many will step down
and leave a permanent vacuum.

Others will go so unnoticed
that we don't realize
they vacated their seats.

This train ride will be full of joy,
sorrow, fantasy, expectations,
hellos, goodbyes, and farewells.

Success consists of having a good relationship
with all passengers
requiring that we give the best of ourselves.

The mystery to everyone is:
We do not know at which station
we ourselves will step down.

So, we must live in the best way,
love, forgive, and offer the best of who we are.

It is important to do
this because when the time comes for us to step down
and leave our seat empty
we should leave behind beautiful memories
for those who will continue to travel on the train of life.

I wish you a joyful journey on the train of life.
Reap success and give lots of love.
More importantly, thank God for the journey.

Lastly, I thank you
for being one of the passengers on my train.

[www.keralites.net] Message from a friend

- Very well articulated!

Many years ago, after I got married I was sitting on a couch on a hot, humid day, sipping frozen juice during a visit to my father.

As I talked about adult life, marriage, responsibilities, and obligations, my father thoughtfully stirred the ice cubes in his glass and cast a clear, sober look at me.

"Never forget your friends," he advised, "they will become more important as you get older."

"Regardless of how much you love your family and the children you happen to have, you will always need friends. Remember to go out with them occasionally, do activities with them, call them ..."

"What strange advice!" I Thought. "I just entered the married world, I am an adult and surely my wife and the family that we will start will be everything I need to make sense of my life."

Yet I obeyed him; Kept in touch with my friends and annually increased their number. Over the years, I became aware that my father knew what he was talking about.

In as much as time and nature carry out their designs and mysteries on a man, friends were the bulwarks of his life.

After 50 years of life, here is what I learned:

Time passes.

Life goes on.

The distance separates.

Children grow up.

Children cease to be children and become independent. And to the parents it breaks the heart but the children are separated of the parents.

Jobs come and go.

Illusions, desires, attraction, sex ... weaken.

People do not do what they should do.

The heart breaks.

The parents die.

Colleagues forget the favors.

The races are over.

But, true friends are always there, no matter how long or how many miles they are.

A friend is never more distant than the reach of a need, barring you, intervening in your favor, waiting for you with open arms or blessing your life.

When we started this adventure called LIFE, we did not know of the incredible joys or sorrows that were ahead. We did not know how much we would need from each other. Love your parents, take care of your children, but keep a group of good friends. Dialogue with them but do not impose your criteria.

Dedicated to all my friends.

[www.keralites.net] Sathya Sai Orphanage Trust at Sasthamangalam here does not have a salesman or cash counter.

Believing in honesty- Sathya Sai Orphanage Trust at Sasthamangalam here does not have a salesman or cash counter.

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM:At a time when snoopy surveillance cameras dot even petty shops, here's a place where you can shop like a trusted guest.Titled "Sathyam Store', a shop selling miscellaneous items opened by the Sathya Sai Orphanage Trust at Sasthamangalam here does not have a salesman or cash counter.

The shop sells pottery, kitchen utensils and curios, bamboo crafts, books, key chains and many more. Most of the items are made by the inmates of the orphanage on the Sai Gramam campus of the Sathya Sai Trust at Thonnakkal.

State Police Chief Loknath Behera inaugurated the shop on Sunday. "This will be a pointer to the truthfulness in the society. A no salesman shop put up by an orphanage - I think this would be the first of its kind in the country," he said.

All displays in the shop have a price sticker and a customer is expected to drop the amount in a box kept under the portrait of Sai Baba. A poster in the shop says: "Whatever you pick from here is for the sake children of our orphanage"

Trust's executive director K N Anandakumar said the shop displays aren't physical objects but emotional gifts by the orphanage inmates to some good hearts who mind to care them. The orphanage on the Thonnakkal campus is home to 150 inmates, including 60 children.

"All the earthenware are made at our pottery unit in the Thonnakkal campus. They are made in the traditional method by the inmates," he said. Interested children in the orphanage are given training in the unit.

The bamboo artifacts were made under the supervision of experts from Wayanad. Publications put up for sale include those published by the Prasanthi Nilayam, Puttaparthi, and the Sathya Sai Trust.
The shop, situated in the Sathya Sai Trust building at Sasthamangalam, will function from 10 am to 6 pm on all working days.

School for special kids

The Sathya Sai trust also opened a school for autistic kids at its Thonnakkal campus on the day. It will cater to children in the nearby panchayats.

The 21-year-old trust has 63 projects at the Thonnakkal campus that range from crafts units to educational institutions. The Sai Vidya Mandir school gives free education to 350 students.
