Helping Bihar Flood Victims made easy


Bihar Floods ... You must have already heard about it, read about it, symphatised with the flood victims. wished you could do something but did not know how to do it effectively, easily ... 

well ... here are two ways ... both simplified for you ... 

First - Direct donations through your ICICI account. Today when i tried to login into my ICICI account, it automatically took em to a page where i could donate money for flood victims ... indeed ... it was definately a good gesture by ICICI to collaborate with GiveIndia.com ...  You can infact go directly to GiveIndia.com and donate for any cause of your choise ... 

Second - a very unique and novel way for everybody to donate 'things/stuff' to flood victims by answering a few questions fo a quiz online .. spending one minute of their time ... and effetively donating biscuits, ropes, tarpauline, candles etc ... check out http://www.helpbihar.in/ and read press coverage of this initiative here 

Blog about these .. talk about these .. spread the word and make the dinations happen ... your wee bit effort could mean a lot to someone out there in Bihar !! 

YOU can make a difference !!

    Hi Arbit!

    It is quite an interesting quick cruise through your blogs. Very interesting but I have to go through it again but on a much slower pace next time. :-)

    I too went through the same thing you did -- 'grueling emotional roller coaster ride' -- the last one just late last year when my husband passed away. But I finally learned to pass through those difficult times quickly, yes. It would have been easier to remain in my grief and enjoy the comfort and sympathies extended by well-meaning friends. But my daughters and I chose to 'move' quickly through it and get on with our lives. We're moving on and wisely so. Yes, it is possible. All that is needed is the willingness to do so and to look forward to the future with renewed hope courage and faith.

    Thank you for coming by my blog and for your comment and lovely compliment. Thank you. Take care now. May God bless you and your family.

    Ellen

Mumbai Local - First Class v/s Second Class

Image
    It is an old joke that the difference in the first class and second class of the Mumbai local trains is that people in first class use deodorants and hence you are exempted from the smelly underarms while travelling. The mute point being; both class of travel experience a passenger overload during the peak hours and you are almost equally squeezed and pushed around in both. Of course, the seats in First Class are cushioned (unlike the hard seats of second class) but then that would make a difference only if you get to sit (which would be a likely probability only if you get into the train from the station it originates). My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq...

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
