Name: Ajith
Age: 14 years
Home town: Rajakkad, Idukki
Family back ground : Father- Sugathan works in a flower shop at his home town. Mother expired; father remarried a home nurse who will be away from home for many months at a time due to her work commitments.
How he reached here: They don't have a house of their own and his parents finds it difficult to support him with their limited income. Only three months has passed since he came to Sneha Bhavan.
Though Ajith belongs to the picturesque village of Rajakkad, a popular tourist spot famous for its mountains, wildlife and rose gardens, life has never been a bed of roses for this down- to- earth boy. He was staying with the family of the teacher who teaches Judo in Snehabhavan before coming to this institution. He spends his vacation at his teacher's home as Ajith has no house of his own. This boy's father stays in the flower shop itself, where he works, while his mother will be always away from the home town due to her work commitments as a home nurse.
What is your biggest dream? I asked. Pat came the reply ;' I have no particular dream and am ready to do any job'! Though I was startled by his unconventional answer, I asked him why he is not nurturing any dreams? ' If I don't get what I wish for, I will be all the more depressed, so I think it is better to have a mind set to do any job that comes your way as I believe in dignity of labour' he concluded. I couldn't help appreciating the level headiness of this boy as I got on with my next query about his favorite hobbies.
'I like football and cricket and indulges in hotly contested matches with my pals and the foreign soccer coach who makes sure to hone up our footwork and ball passing skills. Sachin Tendulkar is my favorite Indian cricket player and I also love to play cricket at my free time'. Judo is something special to me as the Judo coach is not just his martial arts teacher but also his greatest mentor in his life, who has influenced and inspired him all through. He looks forward to the summer vacations that are round the corner as he can make yet another visit to his favorite Judo master's home.
