We had been spending each Saturday with The Ktm Drive since January of this year, with different events. We wanted to increase the number of activities compared to last year which involved us every weekend. The best parts of the events were not just spreading smiles and happiness but people from different areas meeting each other on a platform with the same purpose.It has always been nice to be seeing people connect with each other. There are times when we realize how small the town is when everyone knows everybody around! This is what happens mostly with our new members.
So, this Saturday, after long I was chilling at home in the weekend. Since there was no KTM Drive event planned for the day, I felt restless. There was something missing on my two day holidays. Since the drives had been a practice the day felt unusual. This thought of mine reminded me of the time when we were suppose to give gifts to certain kids at Kanti Bal hospital whom we had promised on Christmas. We asked the kids suffering from cancer about their wishes and the one thing that they wanted . We got them those on 25th December, 2015 and celebrated Christmas with them . There were some extra kids on that day and our gifts got over really quickly. We assured them that we would be back with the presents soon. We thought today would be the perfect day to execute this.
We had collected all the gifts but with the hectic schedule of each one of ours, we could not visit the hospital. Finally, we went to meet the kids . To our surprise, the wards were filled with new kids and we could hardly meet the children from the last time. We figured that families leave for their respective villages after the kids chemo session is finished. We gave out wishes of the kids who were present and had demanded the last time. We also surprised new patients with gifts. They were amazed to be receiving a present. The smile on the kid’s face was unforgettable, specially whom we gifted a toy aero plane. There is a charm when one’s wishes are fulfilled, but it goes to a different level when it isn’t expected. As we walked out of the hospital with a smile, we knew that our day ended perfectly. This is the magic of The Ktm Drive on its members.
