Being Free
So, I asked him 'why do you live like this?
His reply has been kept me thinking and still amazes me 'in everyone's life, we get all we deserve, not more, neither less' then, he continued 'if I can live independent life while earning too less then why would I chose to live with someone on their alms?' I still think about what he said.

The ray of hope!
Some stories are better left untold, but not this one!
When the universe wants two people to meet, they will meet, against all the odds.
A lady- corn vendor on Armbol beach- 3 kids- two girls and a boy, one alcoholic unemployed husband.
Every day, she brings her kids to the beach after the school so none of them stays with abusive drunkard father.
Kids play on the beach, roam around, talk to people and enjoy the time on the beach.
Misfortunate, but still happy.
A couple- who has all the luxuries they can afford with their earnings. Middle class with inherited money. 20 years of marriage and no kids.
Fortunate, but with an empty space in their hearts.
For last 2 years, they have been coming to the beach every weekend to meet Sudha, the little girl in the pic. You can call its Sudha’s luck, or god heard couple’s prayers, or good fortune of both. Because now, Sudha is getting adopted by the couple which is under progress.
To keep the real bond remains intact, every weekend, they bring Sudha to meet her biological mother and siblings so she can’t forget who the real ones are and who the new ones in her life are.
Universe must be so happy to see the little girl smiling, as all worked out as planned.
But, the prettiest part about the whole story is- now the name ‘Sudha’ is for her real family, but new family calls her ‘Asha’, in English it stands for ‘hope’ and she started responding for the name as well 😊 #hope #asha #universe #love #sacrifice#fortune #luck #destiny #instapic #beach#goa #goabeach #armbol #lonetraveler#kids #cutegirl #adorable
