A DAY IN MEERA’S LIFE WHICH CHANGED HER COMPLETELY
Once upon a time,
on the day of Saraswati puja, Meera woke up with a start. She had just
remembered it was Basant Panchami (Saraswati puja). It was the only day in the
year in which she could wear a colored dress to school, although only an Indian
attire. This year the Saraswati puja had fallen on her birthday, so she thanked
God. Meera thought,” I will wear my mum’s yellow sari.” She got up, got ready
quickly and left for school, dressed beautifully. She saw people dressed in the
colors of yellow, green, and white. People were enjoying all over the places
which she passed. Meera counted the no. of pandals which she passed. There were
thirteen of them. While reaching the fourteenth one she saw a little boy about
the age of seven, repairing a pandal .he was joining two ends of the pandal
with the help of a hammer & a nail. Suddenly, He squealed in pain. He had
hit his finger, it was drenched in blood. A man may be his master came up and
gave him a good scolding. “Imagine if someone did that to me” thought Meera “I
would burst into tears”. The boy though hurt did not cry. Meera was left
spellbound. From then on Meera planned to serve the mankind.
Twenty
years from then Meera is known as DR. M. Banerjee who has started an
organization called smiles, which work for a better tomorrow, the health &
education of the poor children.
