Blood donation Camp at CI on 27th December

I had written about the activities that are undertaken by our company under CISF (Computers International Social Fund). As part of the yearly activity, we will be organizing the “Blood Donation Camp” on 27th December 2008. This is Eighth year in succession, the camp is being organized and all our staff members are proud to be part of this noble effort. In fact, we started this years earlier and used to have it on 1st January - which used to give a great feeling for all of us to start the New Year with having done a noble deed, but practical reasons have forced to do it towards the end of year. Anyway the timing doesn't matter, it is thinking of giving back to Society which matters, isn't. Lions Blood Bank has been part of this drive, by organizing their doctors and assistants to come over to our office and be part of this in all these years. The dedication of their staff members is seen to be believed.

The camp will be conducted at our Ganga Office premises from 9:00 a.m on Saturday the 27th December.

We would love to have you and your family members to join us in this effort by volunteering to donate blood. You can also bring your friends who may be interested in donating blood.

Some facts about Blood Donation

  • Blood is the most sort-after body part in the world. Demand and supply are slowly drifting further and further apart.
  • India’s daily estimated requirement of blood is roughly 40 million units of 250 cc blood packages. Of which only 500,000 units are available.
  • Blood cannot be manufactured, there is no substitute – it must come through generous voluntary donors.
  • By donating just 350/450ml of blood out of 5-6 litres of blood available in a human body, one can even save 1 to 3 lives.
  • Anyone at least 18 years old and weighing 110 pounds or more may donate blood as often as every 56 days.

So if you are a chennaite, please join us to make this get greater momentum.

Recently there was need for plasma (one of the components of blood). Here they actually take blood from one arm, run it through a machine to extract the plasma and then through the other arm put back the remaining blood into the donors body.

The person taking the blood could not locate the vein in one of my arms so he gave up and passed me for another donor.

You are right we must all donate blood. I have seen relatives of patients trying so hard to arrange for blood in the last minute because they dont have enough donors.

Dr Natarajan - The Indusrial Queens Maker

This was pending for a long time from me - to write about one of the Best persons in the world - who encourages Woman to Take up the mantle of Owner of their own Enterprise. That why I have named him the Industrial Queens Maker. How many woman entrepreneurs he would have helped in making - must be running in 5 figures already. do you know of anybody other than Dr Natarajan , who has gained a doctorate on his research paper on "Women Entrepreneurship". His work was his life. The post of Jt director, Tamil Nadu Industries Department in`charge of Women Entrepreneurship was the most apt post for him. You go to him with just one dream - Wanting to go out on your Own - He will make it happen - that is the truth about him. He not only used to counsel people about what kind of industry will suit them, but will also advice about the various methods in running it efficiently and also actively help them to get started. He even used to guide them about how to approach the fi

 Rajastahn Tour Dairies Day 5 contd.. So doing a repeat post on this Little Krishna's abode which was the main reason why I signed up for the tour. The most powerful Little Child who makes people fall in love with this eternal bliss of God - Shrinath ji.   How fortunate are the people living in here who can have the different darshans of the Lord at different time of day.  Yes all the Arathis are different with beautiful attire and charming smile and different nivedhayam. Even to stand in front of him is more than enough for anyone.   History of Nathdwara Shrinathji says that during the reign of Aurangzeb, statue of Lord Krishna was moved from Vrindavan to enshrine it at a safe place. However, when the vehicle carrying the statue passed through the particular spot where the temple now is, its wheels were stuck in the mud. The priest accompanying the image interpreted it to be an indication from the Lord himself. People understood that the Lord did not want to move any further. Ther

IT SME FORUM

About 7 months back a group of Entrepreneurs from Chennai who had a common thread of running their software companies got togehter to form a cohesive group - The IT SME FORUM - as a Strategy to accelerate their individual growth through synergy. Each one of these entrepreneurs are successfully running their software companies fighting individual battles to keep the company up and running, maintain a steady growth rate, increase their customer base, etc. Running a company in India is not a easy task - it is literally getting pulled in thousands of direction and believe me - A business leader is supposed to concentrate only on Growth - Marketing - Sales. But I have found that typically in the Indian environ, we get pulled into operations and managing to spend some time for the most crucial aspect of the business. This gave rise to the idea - why not have a platform to share the best practices, to learn how to tackle problems, get a better voice and get a big bandwidth in terms of out rea
