We were shell-shocked and numb when we got the SMS. Aastha’s first reaction was “you go and bring Lata Aaji and Anil Aajoba to our place”. We felt a bit relieved when we came to know that Aaji and Aajoba were physically unhurt (Thanks to the presence of mind of Aaji Aajoba and God’s Grace). However, we feel terribly guilty and ashamed of ourselves for causing them grave mental and physical agony and that we did not take proper care of Aaji and Aajoba despite the fact that they care for us even during their ill health, have always forgiven us and unconditionally loved us inspite of our irresponsible behaviour. We have miserably failed in our commitment towards them and there is no excuse for our careless behaviour. During one of our discussions on the turn of events, Aastha suggested that we go and say sorry and ask for forgiveness for the mistakes committed. She is confident that things will be alright soon. Her love and confidence in Aaji and Aajoba and also towards all parents in the shibir, makes us feel all the more guilty and ashamed for our callous behaviour.
We have learned that the hard way that sometimes "sorry" is not enough, we however seek forgiveness for the hardships caused by us to Aaji, Aajoba, Gargee, Dyanesh, Advait, Anita and most of all to Om, Ananya and all children who are part of our shibir.
