When my driver mentioned that he postponed the eye operation of his daughter for want of funds I readily gave him 1K and sent him to the hospital. When I saw the look on the grateful driver my heart leapt with joy. Incidentally I teach English to my drivers to help them get a better job and supply books, dictionary, writing materials and stationery etc.<BR/><BR/>I along with the members of our club prepare the paperwork and find a willing partner club abroad to get enough funds to execute a major scheme that benefits a whole community. A bore well in a village, a toilet in the Railway station for the convenience of passengers, are a few of the many cases in point.<BR/><BR/>I listed all the above activities not to blow my trumpet but to impress upon the members the pleasure of giving and to motivate them to undertake similar schemes whenever possible and contribute whatever little they can. This is definitely a better way of serving God than presenting a gem studded necklace to the Lord Balaji who has more than enough ornaments by now. Recently one devotee presented such a necklace worth a crore and half to the Lord. I think it was a sheer waste of money which could have been put to better use. Imagine what that amount would have done to a village or hamlet.<BR/><BR/>Finally even giving a kind word helps the recipient if he is in dumps.<BR/><BR/>I would like to sign off by saying that even in interpersonal relationships there is a great pleasure in giving pleasure to the other party including one’s life partner. Giving is always a “win win” situation. Just do it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9801345.post-77313968914919692302008-05-07T20:06:00.000-07:002008-05-07T20:06:00.000-07:00LONDON: In yet another instance of campus killing ...LONDON: In yet another instance of campus killing of an Indian student abroad, a 23-year-old Indian postgraduate girl from Vijaywada was found dead at her hostel in Handsworth, a suburb of Birmingham on Tuesday night. <BR/><BR/>V Jyotirmayee Nagasaibabu, a student of the University of Wolverhampton pursuing MS degree in Health Sciences, was found dead in her hostel room, police said. <BR/><BR/>One person was arrested late on Wednesday in connection with Jyotirmayee's murder. <BR/><BR/>The West Midlands Police spokesman said that the unidentified arrested man, 24, was arrested on suspicion of her murder. <BR/><BR/>He added that the man was currently helping police with their enquiries. <BR/><BR/>A post mortem examination on Jyotirmayee's body was conducted on Wednesday, which established that she died as a result of head injuries. <BR/><BR/>A man with serious injuries was also found when the police were called on Tuesday evening.
