I can still remember myself on that day in a old battered desolated house.But that desolated house was home of some poor boys like Shahnu.

Shahnu stop at the door and told me,
--- just quite !
He entered the room. Then it was pin drop silence for few moment. Then Shahnu
lifted his hand like a terrorist surrendering to army and cry out,
--- look who showed up guys !

Then few of them pounced on him.In a moment all was changed and it was like a scenario of returning of family member after long time.Hugging, jokes,laughter and out burst of energy of life. Shahnu then suddenly shouted,
---hey guy! we have a new member...meet Naga.
and pointed at me. I was just enjoying the scene. Suddenly a hand stretched out toward me ,
--- welcome buddy.
With little hesitation I introduced myself,
--- I am Naga.
Suddenly Shahnu put hand on my shoulder and addressed his pals,
--- I am home with a new friend and we are starving. Now didnot your mother taught you how to welcome guests !
One of them shouted ,
--- this is for only those who have mother!
then all broke laughter as if Shahnu cracked a joke !

In few seconds I realised that it was a joke. They were all orphans. That was why they were there. But I used to think "orphan" refers to some poor ,unfortunate people. But their smile have some other impression on me. I dont now know fake or real ,but they seemed happy, like a family.They were all acting like stupid.Stupidity expressing some heartiness....... overwhelming and spontaneous.
