I will like to share my experience of the blood donation camp that we conducted in R.V. College of Engineering on 13th march in which we collected 905 units of blood. i couldnt share this before due to some reasons. Anyway, we were planning it from a long time and we called 11 reputed blood banks.

It is many years since that aweful evening. The day when thousands of Indians were slaughtered on a whim of an Imperial general. Jallianwalah Bagh Massacre was the turning point in the freedom movement. The killing of so many innocent people spaked the fire in the hearts of thousands of Indians. Many jumped into the freedom Struggle. Years have passed. Dust has gathered. But we are remembering them. Why? Is it just a small minute of rememberence and is that it? History has always baffled me. What do I learn?

It was a very exciting journey from Bangalore to New Delhi on a Sahara Jet Plain. The Boeing 737 Aircraft gave me the first ever experienc of riding the wind. Soon after the plane took off, I found myself glued to the window pane keenly looking down at the Bangalore City and trying to recognize each small dot that i could see. But within minutes the look was different. There was no more detail. Only chunks of brown land and chunks of greenery. This look, laced by a thin layer of clouds.. As the plane moved on, I could see various rivers, the mountains and the planes.

Living by choice!! Ah! What this simply means is that you pick and choose all the things that fall into your life. Going back in time to my school days, I remember waking up at 6:30 to go to school. By 7:15 I was at school only to return home after dusk. Sometimes it was 8:00 when I reached back. And then the preparations for the debates, the long walks with the guests who come to Mussoorie perennially. But that was all neatly packaged into things that "I Must Do!" No choice given. Now the time is different. Beyond the office hours, all is my choice. I can do what I want to.

Padmavathibai Burli, wife of the renowned freedom figher,Bindacharya Burli, was a silent and piouswoman.Circumstances so conspired against the family that they had to struggle for two square meals a day. Bindacharya breathed patriotism and lived patriotism. The cause and call of Mother India was always above his domestic obligations. Padmavatibai,not only stood by her husband but led a silent agitation herself by feeding the tired and hungry freedom fighters. She used to tell her own children to eat a little less so that the sons of the nation, committed to free Mother India, could be fed.

This morning when I was riding my bike on way to my office a beautiful thing happened. Since I had started off a little earlier from home, I reached Mekhri Circle without having to struggle through a lot of traffic. As soon as I reached, the signal changed to Red. Somehow, today I did not feel the usual feeling of dismay when the signal changes to red just as you reach. I switched off the bike and stood their humming my favorite musical track. It was then that this immense feeling struck me. Waiting their, in the full morning sun, I felt the warmth of the sun rays on my body.
