Jiva Nilayam...

Just after the marathalli bridge, before kundanhalli gate, there is a place called jiva nilayam (i forgot whether it is jiva or jivan or something..)..

it is a place for terminally ill patients..

i went in today at about 0715.... was not permitted inside without prior appointment but in the garden, i talked to some very old persons.. a couple was sitting.. both in their 80s.. smiling.. they were the only two who came out for morning walk.. both dressed in white..

i didnt ask them what they were suffering from .. just talked some silly things.. they asked me which college i am studying.. and asked me to study well..

the lady seemed to be stronger than the man but still both were weak..

came away after giving the lady and the man two warm a slow hugs.. didnt know what else to do..

bas, just like that..
