Good work is Contagious



Last year I asked my wife, whether she wanna go out of station for the Christmas Holidays or wanna spend the same money for helping some needy people & make their Christmas & New Year slightly brighter. She opted for the latter & that started the new trend of celebrating Christmas & New Year in our family.

We bought blankets for all the money we were planning to spend for the out-station holiday. She prepared Rajma Chawal & then we hired a taxi ( we didn't have the car last year). We started our journey on the streets of Delhi at around 10pm. We were looking for needy people, who were sleeping either without any warm clothes or with minimal warm clothes. We didn't have the courage to even open the window of the car & we found so many people sleeping with minimal clothing, that's a very sad experience. We did whatever little we could have done. I thank God to give me the means & the thought to channelize my energy in positive direction. Year 2008 was our best Christmas & New Year celebration & we promised to each other that every year we'll celebrate it in this fashion only. We continued the trend this year. But this year's celebration is very special. This year our whole organization has contributed money & we would be distributing 100+ blankets tomorrow to a nearby slum.

It is very nice effort by you, if all the INDIANS start their act and react on social issues so boldly i am sure that our INDIA will again Independent after a long 61 years.

We have to change our country by our action's as you written.

This is the only way to act "WATT LAGA DO".

I Feel each indian must read your thoughts and process in act & behavior.
