Two beautiful days with Seva


Journeying up the hill reached the heaven on Earth
Met the vivacious seva team
Travelling from the other side of the hill
In the wondrous setting of nature
Overlooking the town below wow! Incredible!

Feeling very nice to meet the new wonderful friends
Comprising enterprising boys and gals headed by
An able leader, the instant bonhomie discernible
Got introduced  and got to know the new friends
Soon after we went out  to explore the place

The concept of building a town to live on the mountains
Itself is beautiful registering on us reached plantations, church
atop a peak  overlooking the town ,a cliking session ensued,
a heart stealing sight with the town twinkiling like star lights
felt extremely fortunate to witness the beautiful milieu around

The place is heaven with the people living here extremely lucky
though warm on arrival the dusk settling in brought chillness
necessitating donning a sweater, reminding it is a hill side
the morning next, after early bath and tea set out in the bus
with the team to reach the venue of the mission seva, coonoor

The choicest vegetables, rice, condiments all  brought
were opened up for cooking food to the participants
of the independent day celebrations comprising students 
volunteer team members cutting open, slicking vegetables,
engaged in work in the kitchen me too joining, slicing vegetables

the breakfast so yummy felt like living to eat, not eating to live
the lunch preparations ensued as running, musical chair events
went on for the tribal school kids, lunch another delicious affair
offering the cooked food to the hundreds of people, followed by
introspective session each member expressing experience

seva is service, service to humanity, feeding the hungry
and needy is a noble service, this seva team excels in this
Two beautiful days, two wonderful days with them
In a nice place, a nice team nice work to sum up
The life is a great journey, the journey continues!
