Eye Donation - Pledge and Donate your eyes !!

To begin with, i have started an initiative for creating awareness among public about this eye donation concept. In India there are approximately 40 lakh people who suffer from blindness due to some defect in the cornea. 60% of such cases are found in children below the age of 12 years. Here, we can pitch in by pledging our eyes and later donating our eyes (after death) so that 2 corneally affected blind persons can see and enjoy the beauty of this world with our eyes! Eye pledging and donation is a very strong concept where a person can pledge his/her eyes for donation. Later, after the death of the person, the eyes can be donated. Unfortunately, the number of eyes coming to the eye-banks are very very meagre compared to the current requirement (of blind people). This is due to many reasons, one of them is lack of awareness among public about this good deed! Remember the Aishwarya Rai's campaign of eye donation? Remember Amitabh and Jaya Bhachan's campaign on eye donation? Ya...am speaking of the same eye donation campaigns these big people have endorsed...i really appreciate this.... but, its very sad to know that this alone is not going to help in creating awareness among public. Hence, i want to take up this task and am currently in the initial stages of setting up the required things for this. As this is a huge concept, we can write pages on this. So, i am limiting myself to this much of information. If anybody is interested in this, want to volunteer for this task and think that you can make a difference to someone's life, do drop me a mail at deeps_inbox@yahoo.com I will be very happy to contact you and together we can bring light to someone's life!!

Recap of 2010 & the Fresh 2011...

Happy New Year 2011 and Happy Sankranti, Pongal to all!! Hope we all have a rocking and exiting 2011 ahead... Having missed out of the blog scene, lot of things have passed in past year of 2010 which I would like to write... 2010 - what an year of ups and downs and ups :-) On the professional front, I changed the job from one US blue-chip major to another US blue-chip major & apparently both being strong rivals to one another...Am talking about my job change from Hewlett-Packard ( HP India ) to IBM India ! Both are great companies to work where both of them share a great history of innovation and culture. However once inside a company and totally involved in your job, all these will take a second priority and there comes your job&role as the first priority. So my shift from the earlier Services based / project based job role to the current Labs which involve product development & support...A better long-term view than that of a short-term :-) One more interesting fact ...

A Unique Experience In My Life...

I will word this as my unique experience in my life because I had never undergone this stuff earlier in my 28 years of journey called Life and I never want this to happen again in my life...I dont want this to happen to any one else also... Feb 14th will be etched in my book of life for two unique reasons - one sad and one happy! The happy part is that my first car delivery happened on this day and I was very happy for myself and my family for getting a good car (at last!). The happiness is still continuing and will be there in future also... Now, the sad part of the story is that on that morning I started experiencing a reduction in my left eye vision, something like some object has been placed in front of my eye and this is obstructing me to see clearly...I neglected this for sometime thinking that my normal drops will solve this issue but till evening even after many rounds of eye drops, the problem still existed...Then I rushed to a nearby eye clinic where dilatation process was...

Wrong move or Right move?

Last week, i was called by my manager and asked me a small question that would affect me in a huge way! The small and simple question was: Are you ready to travel to Mumbai, for a project, for a period of 4-6months? Around 5 people are planned to be put into this project. This was a difficult question for me, as i am 50-50 for this oppurtunity. If I look from the Work perspective, as per the inputs from my manager and other concerned people, it is really good, where you go and study an existing system, get Knowledge Transfer from the client and come back to Bangalore and start that project by setting up a team. But the catch here is Mumbai...i would like to work in Mumbai but given my current situation where i have got a valid US Visa, i dont want to miss the oppurtunity that *may* come to me inline with my Visa! So, here is the dilemma, a 50-50 scenario for me...:( Finally, after discussing with my parents and applying some self-thought :) and leaving the things to god and following ...
