SUMPOORNA - THE PILLOW - OUTSIDE WORLD - BED OF COBBLESTONES

What is it about SUMPOORNA that you brag about it so much? Friends ask me and I too wonder what is it ?

A poor man asked a rich man `what is so special' about soft mattresses, rich food, costly musical systems - why can't you find comfort in sleeping on floors - simple food and an ordinary radio.

The predicament is simple - SUMPOORNA is a dream actualised where wishes have become horses and WE CAN RIDE THEM! I realise this - the children who come here realise it - the `others' not only donot realise it - they cannot even imagine it.

I WISH AND I AM GRANTED THAT WISH - that is SUMPOORNA for me and the other sumpoornites. Sumpoorna is a place without care, where I can dare to dream, where peace and tranquility persist, where the bouncing basketball exhorts me to FOCUS - inspires me to a greatness that is within me. It alows me to REST AND RECHARGE myself for the unreasonable environment that I must return to.

SUMPOORNA is the pillow on which I rest my head as I try to sleep on the bed of cobblestones of the outside world.
