I was taking my evening walk. It was one of those days when i could not help someone. I was wondering that there was so much pain in the world. Ever since i had started IBD there were many people who would contact me for help Blood, Financial Help, Organs Donation for a near and dear one . I would see children who were intelligent did not have access to books. Patients needed medicines but did not have access to medical care. Destitutes did not have food to eat . Nor clothes to wear. There were so many who had everything in the world but still wanted more. I wished i could make a difference in the lives of the underpriveleged. I thought that if i was as rich as Mr Mukesh Ambani or Mr Laxmi Mittal ( i really dont know why this thought struck me, may be because they are the richest Indians) i could change the face of India and maybe help so many people. But i could not do that i was not Mr Mukesh Ambani or Mr Laxmi Mittal. I felt very helpless that i did not have the resources to reach out to so many people which i wanted to.
Ting Ting..Ting Ting. I had received an SMS on my mobile. I checked up the SMS. It was another of the Santa Banta sms Jokes. I wondered why people waste so much money . If only they used their resources for some constructive use....Hey i thought can i use mobile technology to some good use. Can i ask people to send a sms towards a cause and donate the cost of the SMS to a cause. Can i motivate people to donate ?
