Memories unfurl...feelings linger on

Memories unfurl...feelings linger on...

So it has been with the experiences we have had...the newness and yet purity of feelings...the desire to help and spur change in the lives of those who have truly made Ghar their home...

A recount of a story that refuses to fade away...it lingers on...like a dew drop that stubbornly clings to the tip of a leave...the story of a teen...one who had finally broken the shackles that had imprisoned her in herself... and had set herself free...giving wings to who she really was...the story of a nubile third gender...a runaway from a village in Punjab.

She was feminine to the core...yet sculptured...and encased in a body that was completely alien to her...

We took her in as she was...grew very fond of her...she embraced Ghar...and us as her very own...

We left no stone unturned to help her in every possible way...finally tracing her single parent...her father...without her knowing...and convincing him to accept his son...his only waris as he truly was in heart and mind but not in form...a girl...

A happy ending it indeed was...yet one that left a tinge of sadness...she had become one of us...
