I cannot but just appreciate at the
thoughtful message sent by Mr. Visal. As we keep
getting information about the magnitude of devastation hour after hour, all
thought of enjoyment has definitely fleeted away from my mind. When we hear of
people suffering mentally and physically having lost their kith & kin and
fighting uncertainty from all quarters we need to waken our lost sensitivity
and conscience and look for every opportunity to participate in this hour of
disaster.
Hence my appeal to one and all is let us
take it upon ourselves to pool in all resources that we can and stand up to
face this test on humanity.
Let us all pray for a Peaceful and Safe
2005
Regards
Prakash

Subject: [unnatisgbstrust] Think
before 2005
Riding down the busy streets of
Bangalore, I saw a number of hoardings talking about the most happening new
year bash in Bangalore, Ads in Newspapers, on my mobile and on emails...all
saying that its time to cheer and be happy as we enter the New Year.
But, hold back a moment...2004 is
not over yet and in its last days it has brought the worst kind of devastation
to thousands and millions of people in
Are we going to continue to live our
lives thinking of this disaster as some isolated incident that does not affect
us or relate to us - go ahead with our new year celebrations or are we going to
take up this responsibility and do somethin about it.
This question has kept me wondering.
The first thought was that I will not spend money on going to a splendid New
Year bash. I can save that money and put it in some relief work. But, then I
don't go to New Year Parties anyway.
Hence, I have decided that I will
contribute Rs. 1000 of my December salary of Rs. 8000/- towards relief work for
the affected people. I have set the ball rolling and I urge all of you to take
it forward from here.
It is your choice - a New Year Bash
for Rs. 1500 with friends and family or a quiet dinner at home and satisfaction
that the Rs. 1500 can help a mom rebuild her house, get some food for her
homeless children and a fisherman who can hope to restart his fishing business
with this small contribution. You can check out CNBC or NDTV to get contacts of
all the organizations that you can send your contributions too.
We belong to this society and its
time we came together strongly to say that we are responsible and we have the
courage to do something.
I urge you to think and act now!
Pray the New Year is Safe for all of
us.
