Real Living

What is life?  I have really wondered at the funny business called life....who are we? what do we expect from life? ....what do others expect from us?....why do we live?.....maybe because god has given us life.... how do we live? ....expecting and fulfilling expectations....these are the fundamental thoughts that weave across my mind, and settles as an unsettling haze.....
till one day.....
I was witness to some of the most beautiful moments of my life....i can never forget wat i saw, and 

then i decided ....as long as i live, i want to live life like that....
He, a middle-aged bachelor... she a 22-year-old girl brought up in a Home ... he arranged for her marriage, replete with sovereigns, pattus and the like...he fixed up a house so that she and her husband could live happily ever after....,
At the ceremony he placed the girl's hand in her groom's, just like any father....went through the whole rigmarole of a Hindu wedding, and gave her a life which her own father didn't..... and remember he's a bachelor.... a social worker.....

Wanna know who he is ? His name is Vidyaakar, the founder of Udavum Karangal !

That is what I would call real living.....
