I don't know how to title it !

Few days back, One of the elite person in my offshore development center(ODC) got a mail from one of her friend, saying that , some purohit's wife is undergoing kidney transplantation. This mail containing all the details , was forwarded to all the teams present in my ODC.

The mail said that , the person who mailed us personally know the purohit and he is not in a situation to bear all the cost. Funds are being raised to help his family. As my team was present there, we too got a mail and my pl asked me to coordinate on the behalf of my team. My Pl said that he would like to contribute and I took the money from him and I told him that I will send mails across to ppl personally so that no one will know others contribution.Just to provide some privacy fellas !!

I wrote a mail regarding this and asked them to reply me back with the amount of contribution they would like to make, so that, I would give from my pocket and collect the money from them later. I know this is not compulsory and those who are willing to donate, can do so. I got acknowledgement for all the mails that they are read by the respective persons.I waited till the evening . I didn't get any. I thought they didn't have time to mail me back as they would had tedious day. May it be less or more, a contribution is a contribution.

Then finally , I sent another reminder the next day regarding the same . I didn't get any reply even then. It was totally dissappointing and I gave the collected money to the concerned person . The very same day , I had a argument with one of my roommate. He kept telling me that its a person's wish to donate or not and I can't have any say on that. I accepted that what he told me.But my point was , we all earn a decent sum every month and Rs 50 is not going to make a much difference to us and it may make a big difference to many. I personally know the worthiness of Rs 50 as I had been in that situation sometime back and I thank god everyday for making my life better.


Then came the xmas celebration.. and people in my ODC decided to celebrate it . Its always good to have fun @ work. Again,money was collected for decoration purpose . You know what , everyone were ready with their wallets. . . I was blank for sometime watching them and their excitement and their very readiness to give money. . . It was very real that , we are all captives of something that is negative. . .
