Heart Melting
In the image above is Shila Ghosh, an 83year old woman who lived in India and is the nation's fourth-most populous.Her only son had heart ailment & passed away a few months ago. To make ends meet, the old lady now works.
Every evening, Shila comes from Pali Koltaka to sell chips. When asked if she has a problem in travelling, she weakly smiled and says, "No, the bus gets me here & my health is not that bad".
Circumstances could have easily forced her to beg but her dignity & respect is everything for her. She is determined to work until the end of her life, rather than to beg on a street.
She chose to solve her problems on her own, as they say, God help those who helped themselves.
Because she prefered to make her own living, many people found ways to help without making her feel dependent on anyone. Some are also helping her to build a kiosk...

extremely disappointed!
Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, and all of the others, including Love.
One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all repaired their boats and left.
Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to persevere until the last possible moment.
When the island was almost sinking, Love decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No I can't..There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place for you here."
Love decided to ask Vanity, who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel, "Vanity, please help me!" "I can't help you Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked for help, "Sadness let me go with you." "Oh...Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"
Happiness passed by Love too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her!
Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come Love, I will take you." It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that he even forgot to ask the elder her name.
When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Love, realizing how much he owed the elder, asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.
"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is.

India is more harsh in social and culture life then ours but their rupees is also stronger.
But thank goodness this life is a sojourn, i always remind that to my self and the best way that i personally think i can do is to help the ones near me and to pray for the ones that's far away
God hands are stronger than any strong human hands. and i personally believe that.
You have a good day girl
