That night I was shivering, completely soaked even after taking shelter under the huge banyan tree. I guess my soul was about to depart when suddenly a warm hand touched my forehead. When I looked up, tears started flowing down my cheeks. My eyes were talking as my lips had turned blue from being soaked in the rain for so long. She stood there calmly with the most beautiful and angelic face I had ever seen. It seemed as if an angel had descended down to take me with her and relieve me of my anguish. When she opened her mouth to speak, I was brought back to reality.  She asked" my child, what are doing here all wet? Where do you live? Where is your home? Where are your parents?" I became numb but by what I did the very next moment, I ended up surprising myself. She was standing so close to me that I could feel the warmth of her body. Seeing her as my only hope there, I caught hold of her feet and started crying loudly. "Please take me with you. I have no one and nowhere to go. My parents died when I was seven. Since then I have been living off the streets and I am very cold." Before I could finish, she hugged me so tight as if I was her own lost child whom she had found miraculously. She held my hand and said' my precious one, every child is special to god. You are not alone, from this day onwards I am your mother." And 20 years ago today I had found a home. She taught me that it is not necessary to be related by blood for receiving and giving love, sometimes beautiful relationships develop with pure strangers.
