Dec 25, 2009 was the day when I visited the Central Jail in Ahmedabad and met the prisoners and the Officers there. This visit was planned to complete the class project on Jail Bhaijiya Van which is the brainchild of the DIG of Ahmedabad. Early morning we reached the DIG's office though it was a holiday but we were given good attention by the staff in the Control Room and with their suggestion we followed the road towards the Central Jail, the feeling was so good. There we saw many prisoners working as carpenters, working for the construction of the wall. I felt very happy after all this the Government is helping to learn and prove themselves to be of good behaviour and also mainly allowing them to kill their time. Further, after informing the security we went inside and met the IPS who had a small discussion with us and understood our purpose of visiting the Jail. He was so helpful that he called his Deputy Superintendent (DS) and suggested him to help us in any manner they could.

After every night there is a bright day as after every start there is a finish; same happened with the game we were playing in office on the occassion of Christmas. The game ended with nice gifts and love for everyone. Some of the gifts were cute flowers; letters, chocolates, accessories, fruits, good luck charms, tea and other such small small surprises. But the most interesting gifts were a piggy bank, green chilly, a plant, which were given to a child after he solved couple of puzzles and win the gift and the cutest of all: There was a fruit basket as well for a cute child: The office was decorated with Christmas theme everywhere: Everyone was in their red colored clothes resembling Santa Claus:) spreading smiles and happiness everywhere and wishing Merry Christmas to all...

Secret Santa!!! It’s a nice feeling to spread smile on some one’s face…..there is no such good time other than Christmas when Santa’s main aim is to spread smiles everywhere along with gifts.
