A change in life….

Hi readers my name is keerthi i m doing my engg. in VNR VJIET. This is the incident which moved me so much.

It had been 3 days since ganga had eaten something…3 days ago her one and only one son had thrown her out of the house..she had no where else to go..she had been wandering on the roads since 3 days..now her hunger was intolerable..keeping her self respect and dignity aside she started begging for some money or food…it was very hot that day and under the hot and burning sun this lady was going from house to house begging for food..her head was bursting with pain and she was on the verge of fainting..still she was roaming in the search of food..but she couldn’t find anything to eat…disappointed and unable to bear the heat she decide to take rest under a tree..later she fell into deep sleep..she didn’t even know when she fell asleep..when she got up the climate was entirely different it was very cold..strong winds were blowing and dark clouds had appeared…its like it was going to rain..she was very worried now..she had no where to go…and now her whole body was aching due to starvation..she needed food badly…she started going around for food again and suddenly it started raining very heavily with thunder and lightening..she got very scared and she got completely drenched in rain…her body started to shiver and she was not able to bear the pain…she collapsed on the road..nobody bothered about her..nobody cared for her...she was jus lying on the ground as a waste piece of paper…then a woman in the opposite house saw lying on the ground and came rushing towards her..she took this poor lady inside and warmed her lil bit and gave her something to eat but she was not able to overcome her illness, her body was not supporting her..the lady who had brought her was trying very hard to save her..she then made her sit snd wrapped a shawl around her…now the old lady was smiling, she was happy that atleast there is someone to care for her then suddenly her body became stiff and she fell on the ground..she was dead but she still had smile on her face… that incident moved this woman who had brought her..since then till her death she worked for the sake of people and took care of many…

she had also won the noble prize for peace…guys she is none other than our great Mother Teresa.
she founded a religious order in Calcutta called the Missionaries of Charity. The order provides food for the needy and operates hospitals, schools, orphanages, youth centers, and shelters for lepers and the dying poor. It now has branches in 50 Indian cities and 30 other countries. In addition to the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize, Mother Teresa has received other awards for her work with the needy. These awards include the 1971 Pope John XXIII Peace Prize and India's Jawaharlal Nehru Award for International Understanding in 1972. Mother Teresa died on September 5, 1997. She is sorely missed.

COME LETS WORK TOGETHER FOR HUMANITY.
