the way you eat

We had quite a couple of super energetic children from Vinoba Ashram who came to volunteer with us at the Karma Kitchen! I must say they brought in a lot of energy, chirpiness and a lot of smiles...
This children are not going to any school are being home schooled. I haven't seen so much energy, sharpness and clarity of thought with ofcourse a lot of madness in children from quite sometime.
When it was their turn to have dinner, they all sat together, prayed and started eating. I was serving and went with a tray of water and there came an echoing sound of three kids together who knew just the right way of eating food and told me that you can't have water during your meal. Not good!
Such consciousness, such education!

just like a family! :)

So many beautiful stories to share from the Karma Kitchen experiment in Vadodara. Few posts on the moments, experiences and expressions in this week!

When we were decorating the outside space where we were hosting Karma Kitchen, the watchman walked to us and told us he has never seen someone beautifying the corporate space before. He said, he believed such things happen only when there is a wedding in the family or in the temples. First time it felt like a temple and a family coming together and he dint feel like a security guard and more like a person taking care of his family!
I was like "Wow! This is just the start!"
