Wish I could see Mysore Palace one day....and feel as if it is mine...


We met one 5 year old boy Master ( Name Changed) suffering from Congenital Acyanotic Heart Disease referred from Narayana Hrudayalaya. He was very shy kind and introvert kind of a boy not able to open up with anyone easily. His mother was housewife and father working in a textile showroom as a salesman. They have spent most of their earnings for the kid’s medication.

We visited him three times in his residence but we were not able to speak with him in detail as he is very quiet. But his younger brother was so friendly and spoke with us everytime. On the 4th time of visit when we got the toy his fav. toy Bay blade and then he was smiling and started talking with us slowly.

He was very much fond of Pogo, Tom and Jerry, Pokieman TV shows and he wants to see only the movies of Tamil actor Mr. Vijay. If he was at home on general holidays or Sundays, he will happily play football with his younger brother. He was very keenly interested in rhymes whichever his teacher teach him, he told 5 to 6 rhymes infront of us. He was very much scared about hospital, he told us that initially he thought we are physicians so he doesn’t speak with us much because of fear about injections, tablets and other kind of medication.

While speaking with him, he told us that during dasara festival season he has been seeing Mysore Palace and durbar through television. He wishes to see Mysore palace directly . Then we interacted with the concerned physician and took their permission for granting travel wish of the kid.

On the chosen day on 6th April 2008, we took him, his mother and brother along with the 2 volunteers to Mysore palace. On the way to Mysore, we get down near “Janapada Loka” for having breakfast, and then they took some wooden toys which are famous in the area Chennapatna. When we reached Mysore palace he was so happy and along with other kid, both of them holding their hands and moving to see the beauties of palace. And both of them went to camel riding for a round, he enjoys a lot, limitless happiness in his face. He was in high spirits about Mysore Palace and he thanked all of us for fulfilled his wish to see this place and he invited all of us to his house for Ugadi festival.
