I Wish to have a telescope...so that I can see STARS...


Ganesh Chakragiri is a 14-Year-old admiring boy suffering from Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia referred by Gokula Curie Cancer Centre of M.S. Ramaiah Medical College Hospital. He was passionate to amuse himself for cricket and playing computer games and browsing in net concerning astronomy. In addition to this he having the habits of reading comic books and completely engross himself to novels and short stories written by Mr. Sherlock Homes

He adored himself for Swimming and Cycling. But now on behalf of his illness, he reduced both swimming as well as cycling. Trekking, rock climbing, bird watching and participating in nature camps with his friends are his favorite pastimes. He will rejoice through watching National Geographic channel and Discovery channel as he was doting of astronomy and more inquisitive towards to know more innovative new places. He told about his three innermost wishes to our volunteers: as first and foremost wish is to have a personal telescope, indeed his second wish is to have astrophysics books and third wish is to see historical heritage Hampi.

While our volunteers met him on 2nd July 2009 at Gokula Curie Cancer Centre, he was undergoing for chemotherapy, as soon as he come back from his treatment they fulfilled his wish through gifting him a telescope, though he had a lots of pain within himself, his face was glittered when he received the telescope and there is no bound for his cheerfulness.
