One of the biggest questions we must ask about our life is - What must we do with our days?Friday morning through Sunday evening, I was at Rameshwaram with some of my friends from Ashraya helping out in small ways at a charitable trust led by Dr. Mallika Chidambaram. What we did is utterly insignificant here.
The kind of service we received was royalty. We were welcomed and ushered into her humble abode, fed with meals and invited to engage in songs and fun activities for kids, help at a church etc. I didn't feel I belonged to Chennai any more - I was just another Rameshwaram resident, a part of the household.
The last few days were great. Just being around for a lady who gave it all up to serve people at a seashore 600 kms from her hometown. What do you call it - mission? passion? calling?
Whatever you do, it doesn't matter. She is just another bold person who chose 'to do' rather than 'not to do'.
