-: Dreamer's Den! :-

2 Months back, i grabbed an opputunity to attend an interview call from the Top Indian IT company...As this company is one of my dream organizations where i would like myself to see working, i accepted their call and went for the interview. I faced, for the first time in my life, a panel of 4 people, all set to take my interview! When i saw them, i thought 'oh-my-god'...this was for few seconds but once i sat there and faced those guys, it went normally and exceptionally well! Went for around 45 mins though and at the end of it, i was thanking god for making this a yet-another wonderful round of questions and answers! As usual (and as i expected) i was called for the HR round of interview and there i faced 2 HR folks, asking the usual questions that went on for another 15 mins. So, on the whole, at the end of it, when i came out of their office, i was in seventh heaven!!! But somewhere, a part of my heart knew that i would not get into this most-dreamt company becuase of Compe...

Yesterday, my colleague, who had just started blogging (says, she is inspired by me! cool...:)) asked me if I had read her blog recently. Actually, I visited her blog 3 days back but didn't find any updates after the first write-up about The Faces of India! So, I told her no and then she asked me to check once. When I checked, it moved me...She had written a blog about me..and guess the title...Hurray! Am a 'Million Dollar' colleague!!!! :)) This write-up about me is about the initiative I have taken on eye donation and the campaign that led me to be a guest of a program on Radio City Bangalore! More of this blog can be found @ http://leenapaul.blogspot.com/2006/02/million-dollar-colleague_02.html Thanks a ton Leena for 'featuring' me in your blog and I hope people read on and respond more to this noble cause that I am in for! I am really moved by this kind gesture of yours... "Light up the darkness in life. Enable blind to see this beautiful world, thru you...

Just now i called the Lions International Eye Bank to check how effective my speaking on air, on radio city, about the eye donation campaign is...and u know what...there has been a very good response!!! Good number of people called in to Pledge their eyes and 1/2 people called for eye donation! You just dont know how good my feeling is as of now...but wanted to blog it down and tell to everybody! :) "Light up the darkness in life.

Yesterday, a day after my interview, Live on Radio City about my eye donation awareness initiative, i got a mail from a person called Mr. CSP, of Mukta Foundation. I went thru their website and found that they are a group of 'like minded' individuals, who are ready to do and contribute good to the soceity. They interact with some NGOs and try to bring change to the soceity. Later the day, i spoke to the person who had mailed me, praising of my effort on eye donation. Had a good chat with the person (a Software professional) and came to know about more of this suberb volunteer organization. I instantly thought that i should become a part of them and here i am, a volunteer and part of the foundation, trying to make and contribute good to the society,with the help of some good, like-minded persons! More can be found in their website, http://www.muktafoundation.org "Light up the darkness in life. Enable blind to see this beautiful world, thru your eyes! - Pledge & Don...

Today morning, i messaged RJ Vasanthi of Radio City about the good enthu response got from some fellow Bangaloreans, in response to my initiative and the segment of Eye Donation (where i was on air, live, with Vasanthi on Monday, 1005hrs to 1040hrs) and a note of thanks for making this happening. After few minutes, i got a call and guess who was on the other side...yeah..it was RJ Vasanthi again!!! She told that she will put me ON AIR for 2 mins so that i can offer my thanks to Bangalore and also reiterate the cause for which i have started my initiative and the contact details for the same ( giftyoursight@gmail.com ) I went on air, wished and thanked all and urged more and more Bangaloreans to get aware of this noble cause and spread the message...

Today Morning i was ON AIR LIVE, in a segment called ' Bangalore Inspires ', speaking about my Eye Donation initiative to the always enthu-filled RJ Vasanthi!! It is a great feeling to go on air and express your ideas/views to the people of Bangalore...And u know, i got a good response instantly with lots of SMS flooding, for some queries / for support of this cause! The office of Radio City is pretty small and even small is the Recording room, from where the music is pumped out to the City 24/7!! Vasanthi made me feel very comfortable with the before-hand discussions about the topics that would come on air...so that you will feel at ease while answering them ON AIR! While coming out, at 1100hrs, i met RJ Cindu, who hosts the segment next to RJ Vasanthi's 'Good Morning Bangalore'! RJ Feona was on leave today and RJ Darius and RJ Sunaina Lal were not in the office at that time (i mean they usually come in the late noon for their evening show!) Its awesome and i tru...

Today, its been 1 year that i gave birth to this blog baby!! Happy Birthday dude! Hope to celebrate many years of blogging to come....:)
