 “One sunday afternoon I was travelling by bus to a town in Gujarat. There was an old lady sitting next to me.
The bus was too crowded and very noisy! I simply put my earphones in and listened to music to shut out the chaos. The lady next to me didn’t have that option, and she seemed so annoyed by all the noise.
So, I thought I would help divert her attention. I shared my earphones with her and she started listening to I’m Alive by Celine Dion!
She could not understand English so after a little while I stopped the music to check if she liked it or not. As I stopped it she responded,”Ye badhiya he! Chalu rakho!” That means, “This is awesome! Keep it going!”
So, I did!”

| “I credit my dear Mom as my inspiration in wanting to kind to others as she has alway’s done her best to help others and has stayed so humble in the process. She just turned 85 a few days ago and just donated 100 hand made rosaries to send overseas to the poor…this is just one of so many countless things that she does. I so love and respect her.” –anniesplace |
