Diwali at Shanti Niwas

 

 

As like every year Rotaract Club of Behala along with Rotary club of Behala celebrated Diwali with the inmates of Santi Niwas on 26th Oct,2011. We were all there in Santi Niwas by 8:00pm, after attending the kali puja at Rtn(Dr) Nirmalendu uncle’s house, and distributed some snacks and sweets to the inmate. After having some interesting conversations with the grandparents, we started bursting crackers with them. As like every year, they took active participation in bursting crackers. We had a variety of crackers for our grandparents and it was simply amazing to spend the evening with them. After bursting the crackers it was time for some thanksgiving . After the thanksgiving we also distributed Gifts to them with which they were over enthusiastic.

During the bursting of crackers, every inmate wanted a snap of them to be taken with the burning crackers which made us very and it was evident how they were enjoying themselves with those crackers. In all the fun and enjoyment, a sad incident happened where club secretary Rtr Arijit met with an accident when his left foot was burnt by a misfiring rocket. President of Rotary club of Behala Rtn (Dr) Siddhartha uncle immediately did dressing and we all hope for his speedy recovery.

Before we left after spending almost 2 hours with them, we had to make sure that we promised, like always, to visit them in the near future.
