I felt like the little lamb who had walked into a dark room only to realize that it was a lion’s den, and that there were not one, but two lionesses waiting with bared teeth (pretty sharp ones at that).

One simple question :
What do Valsalyabhavan(V), YMCA Poor Boys Home(Y) and Balbhavan(B) have in common??
Besides the fact that they&#8217;re all really small centers that MAD works at, well, I&#8217;m pretty sure they are different.. Two of these accommodate boys, the other for girls, different managements, different backgrounds, different settings..
