Being Happy Through It All - Jayanti Kumari Panda

"I used to work at an advocate’s place. I don’t remember his name, but when my body started to give away and I couldn’t work properly, he was kind enough to send me to this Ashram. It's been years since I have been here. I cannot walk properly and my hands have stopped functioning properly. I cannot even feed myself because of the condition of my hands. However, I am delighted. Delighted to be here in such company and under such wonderful care. 

I am much obliged to the advocate. Had it not been for him, I would have really missed out on this place. I am very happy about the life that I live here and the life I have left behind. I haven’t touched tobacco in my life and that indeed is my greatest achievement. I would also advise you all to refrain yourself from getting into that habit. When you have amazing and healthy options out there, why resort to this life-taking beast?

I am a huge Mutton Curry Lover. Therefore, I pray that the next time someone comes to visit me, he or she gets me some of that wonderful delicacy so that my friends and I can binge on it and have a party to ourselves."- Jayanti Kumari Panda
