My father used to tell us a proverb in our childhood that 'charity begins at home'. At that time I was unable to understand its meaning, but now I can understand how deep it meant. To start good acts, you don't have to go outside, act of kindness can start from home. Being a good human being what really matters in life. I think, meaningful life simply means how much you have done for others in your small life. My prayer to God always includes these words. Oh God! Please make me a good human being.

Since childhood, I always had some questions, in my mind. One question was how anyone can be so poor that he has no bread to eat, no home to protect him from rain. We had a two or three servants, when I was a child. I used to watch them and their children curiously. I was surprised to see them laughing and enjoying inspite of so much scarcity. Now I realized, it nothing costs to laugh even if you are facing problems, even if you have nothing to be proud of.

In my small life, I have seen so much sufferings and pain. Death of my brother, my aunt dying of cancer………. I can never forget such days of pain and grief. All these have helped me to develop as a better human being then before and make me a concerned person. Two years back, one of my maid's husbands had a cancer. My mother used to console her giving her all the aids that were possible.

I used to remember how she absolutely changed after her husband's death. Smile was gone form her lips. This has taught me that your cannot fight from fate, you have to accept life as it comes. The only thing you can do is to bring smiles on others face.

Since I was in school, I had .a passion for nature, animals and small children. I still remember those days watching butterflies, seeing clouds and comparing it with different faces. We had a large area surrounding our home with many trees and flowers. My mother used to tell me that don't pick flowers or leaves from a tree, it will hurt them. Now I laugh on my act of telling sorry to the plant after plucking flowers.

When I was 10 years old, I found one kitten in my house in winter night. I fed her with milk and insisted to keep her. But my family told that it would create problem. I still remember how I went on the road and kept that kitten near a tree. My whole night went on weeping for that kitten.

Myself any my elder brother used to teach small children of poor families when we were in school. There were children of our maids also. That experience of teaching small children was very exciting. My brother asked one student that what does the English word 'My' means. All hands raised and in one voice they all shouted it means. Actually in local language mother is called 'My'.

Life has many things to offer, only you have to be alert that good moments doesn't escapes form your hand. In one of my birthday, I was feeling lonely and alone. My loneliness was wiped off at the moment I went to nearby school of handicapped children. I gave them biscuits and toffees. It brought smile on children faces and I also forgot my pain.

Two months ago, in winter a bitch gave birth to five puppies in my institute. I had decided that I will do every effort to keep them alive. I used to bring biscuits and fed them. My classmates used to laugh at me but it didn't stop me. Sometimes my father says that you have got more mercy for animals than human beings. Then I have only one sentence to say that at least the human being can convey their sufferings to others but how can an animal can tell its pain?

If God comes and asks me wishes that you want to be fulfilled, I will ask him

	Make every person, a good human being.
	Cure for every disease in the world.
	World free of all the weapons.

I hope that some day all these wishes will be fulfilled. Then world will be a better place to live.
