We earn 5 - figure salaries today. We willingly spend 200 bucks for a movie ticket, another 200 bucks for coke and pop corn. We buy dresses for 10000 and shoes for 5000. We happily spend a minimum of 2000 bucks per head on a Saturday night party.


Yet on being asked to make a donation for a minimum amount of Rs. 800 for a charitable purpose, most of us end up pleading that we'r broke.


Two movies foregone by you could mean a year's education for a child.


One dress foregone and you could sponsor the education of 5 children for a sum of only Rs.6000/-.


Think about it. Missing one movie or not buying one dress is not the end of the world - but for that child it could mean everything. That child might even turn out to be the second Einstein if given a chance - and if not given a chance, just another child on the road with a bowl in his hand. Empower the child of today. Send in your cheque.

Yesterday

- Oldest Memory:

We were posted in Wellington and we had a big park near our house. My mom would take me for a picnic lunch everyday along with a few other mothers and kids of my age.We would get fed while also doing all our running around. Guess those early social lunches have had a big influence on me :P

- 10 years ago

That would be the year 1998. I had just gone to class 10 - the board year. Our final year in Turf View. We became civilians after that year. The following year was one of my alltime worst years in more ways than one. I grew up in the following year. So let's say 1998 was my last year of being a child.

 Today
 

-Your first thought today morning

Yipppeee no Court today and its a Friday. Maybe I can wear my light green suit to work today (You see i wear black and white everyday so days I wear something other than black and white are exciting for me)
