Lets help the Gr 'N' eedy

Spent some time reading the contrast between rich and poor as told in pictures.It is really touching, "disturbing" can be a simile.
If you feel a bit heavy within then this is not for you to read it sure made me want to do something, though i have always felt exhausted after thinking about "what to do" this particular site put some more insights into my list that same exhaustive list. Painting a school and planting few trees in an NGO called Children's Lovecastles Trust (CLT) makes a difference, that when done out of interest and self motivation, not because some freaks in an MNC thought it'll lift their brand image.
Yesterday we went to the same place from our office for "social service"..and my boss defines it as ....

Hi Team,

We are looking at the possibility of recording our event and are looking for professionals (just kidding) who own Video Camera to record
tomorrow's visit. Please let me know who can get the video camera tomorrow.

Thanks
Poornima



The intent is very clear,
The mention of "video" drained a few bugs from the feminine cult in my office, for a vain attempt in looking good.

I am not surprised to know that the event will be in news papers.

"CISCO helps the needy"

sadly I will also be in the picture.

When I think of authenticity on the subject, I wonder if there is any probity in my thoughts .................??
should I be writing some thing like this ..........??
I don’t know.

Thought/concern is the fuel,....action is the thrust..
I only have fuel....all gone wasted

Ran a scheduler today morning, bingo NO work for 3 hrs.
You are not blessed with such pleasure at work.
So got down to the one thing I've loved always, visit advertising sites.
To top it all "Leo Burnett".
A random visit to blogs ...I stumbled upon Mr.X the ad-guru.
Going through his blog, I felt like a boy finding his favorite chocolate on the road and watch it contort by a car.
This person seems to have been in the field for a long time, and he doesn't seem happy!
Now that’s some thing I didn't want now. When I have to decide, if to send or not to send the MICA form.
"what has to happen ...will happen", reading the blog could have been another paragraph in my life which had to be read, SO BE IT i READ THE BLOG.

The whole world is a cookie jar.
You and I happen to be two of the chocolate chips..

Why are we surrounded by such people da?! Its a farce. Everyone around us.. Where in this hell can we find like-minded people? I don't know.. But I'm happy I have you, to take the monotony away, to keep my sanity, in this world which is trying oh! so hard, and almost succeeding in making me lose it.. Thank you for being with me. And don't ever ever go away. I cannot take the ubiquitous "insult to my intelligence", without you for solace.
