The drive!

April has me seeing a lot of birthdays, but out of all of them, there is one that is near and dear to me! Its the birthday of my (late) grandpa. He was a man of few words - over the years, I have learned a lot from him. Perhaps the biggest lesson he preached was 'simple living - high thinking' a motto that the man lived by for his whole life - also one that he tried to inculcate in everyone around him, especially thru his way of life.

In honour of his 1st birthday since he passed away, my family is organising a blood donation drive. I'm certain that where ever he is, he will love the idea of a 'celebration' that helps other people - without the big pomp and show! After all, it's something that goes with his life-motto!

The drive will be organised in Bombay on Sunday, 19Th April between 9 am - 2 pm. The blood collection will be done by Samarpan Blood Bank in affiliation with Sarvodaya hospital.

If you are available and can make a donation, please send an email to spikeace@gmail.com for details on the venue. If you cannot, there's an idea for you in case you like to celebrate an occasion by doing public service!

PS: Feel free to spread the word - family and friends are welcome.
