One of our HP offices in Bangalore wanted to host the Eye Donation/Pledging Awareness Camp for 2nd session, as many people had shown interest for the 1st session but could not make it due to various reasons. So, yesterday (23-Sept-08) the Doctor from Prabha Eye Bank visited this office and we conducted this camp for nearly 3 hours ...and the response that we got was just awesome...above all expectations! We collected nearly 125 pledges from the interested employees and hitting this 3-digit number is really a milestone by itself! Again, Thanks to everyone who opted for this camp and I wish they will spread the word among their friends and families! Gift Your Sight :: Make It Your Wish! http://www.freewebs.com/giftyoursight

This week (Sep 8th to Sep 12th 2008) I organized an Awareness campaign on Eye Donation/Pledging in my company, HP India. The Week was celebrated across multiple locations in HP Bangalore offices with the co-operation of Prabha Eye Bank c/o Prabha Eye Clinic, one of the oldest eye clinic's of Bangalore. About the event, over the week the response was not so encouraging (better I will not speak about the numbers!) but Myself and the CSR club of HP did our best to get people aware of this noble cause. Thanks to everyone who opted for this camp and I wish they will spread the word among their friends and families! Gift Your Sight :: Make It Your Wish! http://www.freewebs.com/giftyoursight

Today morning when my mom called me, I was wondering about some news that she is gonna tell; because she normally doesn't call like that early morning. And my 6th sense proved me true... She had called me to tell that Dr. K R Murthy had expired, suddenly! He is the Medical Director of Prabha Eye Clinic, Bangalore and founder of Vittala International Institute of Opthalmology (VIIO). More than that, I am a patient of this great doctor from past 28 years (right from when I was 8 months old baby!) and all of us look upon him with utmost respect, for being a godfather-kind-of person in our life. The last time I met him was when me and my mom went to invite him for my wedding and he was so happy to see me, as a groom now, but a small baby in his hands, 28 years back! I still remember his 'bArayya' (in English: friendly way of calling 'do come') phrase whenever I used to visit him! Now, everything is memory and history...But this is life and we need to move on... He...
