Service tour to madappanahalli....First Experience

Today is the wonderfulday i went on my service tour to a village called madappanahalli 30kms near Bangalore as a part of Satya Sai Seva Samiti.It was not very interior village but decent enough ..had a school,not very bad but decent roads which one could find in a typical indian village.We reached there by a co-member's car by 9.00A.M and started cleaning the Lord Sai's temple.With noone's guidance i got a broom and started sweeping the area.Went to meet the local children over there and gathered all of them at the temple and told a few moral stories which i could barely recollect.Then we were asked to conduct some games for the children and it was then i couldn't find the right game for atleast 20 mins...that sounded ridiculous of myself.A graduate from a Top E-College of India couldn't find an interesting game for an average of 8 year old kids.Finally we found the word game interesting to us and have done with that.As i am from Hyderabad i am very much new to kannad and learned the word 'banni' meaning 'Come' in english.The 2 lines which amused me in using for conveying the people of the bhajan in the temple were 'Gudilla bhajan madithiri......prasadam kudithiri...'.There was a naughty kid who had three chocos with him and was asking the chocos with color and size specifications.We distributed prasadam to the village and washed all the dishes at the water tank located at the centre of the village.I dont know if i would do the same thing in my own village!!(wasing dishes at the centre of the village).We returned after meeting few other workers and it was wonderful meeting new people who are working with noones guidance and orders...real service to people
