In 3 days, will be a milestone for me after a really long time.
Turning 30 is something which felt far away a few years back, and today it is right here.
I have been thinking what is it that I can do to keep this year special. When I came across Orange jammies Turning Five, Birthday giveaway, I felt this is what I would love to do to remember this year too. Last year, on my birthday I made a contribution to Save the Children and the year before that I made a contribution to CRY India. Those two contributions felt more of only a monetary help which I was extending, but this time I thought I would like to make the effort and do something different.
Shishu Mandir, was a children's home which I recently visited to drop off some of T's clothes, toys and other things. I was awed at the work they were doing and the one feeling which I got was the individuals involved with them were doing in true spirit and they deserve all the help they can get. So, for this birthday I have decided that I shall add Rs.100 for every comment on this post to a base amount which I have decided to contribute to them. And as its a children's home, I intend to coordinate with them and order a host of item which they need. This way I can ensure that they get it at the best possible rates and they get these items at the earliest. They are not located very centrally, so many items might prove difficult for them to procure elsewhere. Apart from all this, I think I would feel wonderful that I could do something rather than making another x amount contribution.
So, as I said, for every comment on this post till midnight (IST), August 10, 2013, I shall be contributing Rs. 100 to the kitty which shall go towards buying necessary items for Shishu Mandir.
Now, go ahead, leave that comment! Play your part :)

ReplyDeleteWow Aathira.. great thought of celebrating a milestone. Wish u many many happy returns of the day and wish u many many more to come.
ReplyDeleteBeing thirty is like coming across a signboard on the freeway of life, which tells you that you have just begun your journey.
Even if you update your age to thirty on your Facebook profile today, no one will believe it because you look as young as twenty. Happy 30th birthday.
Thank you so much :) Facebook profile is where maybe I should keep it at twenty ;)
DeleteWow thats a noble way! :D too bad I didn't see this before the 10th!

Please rеply back as I'm looking to create my very own site and would love to find out where you got this from or exactly what the theme is called. Thank you!

Woah! I'm really enjoying the template/theme of this website. It's ѕimple, yet effеctіve.
ReplyDeleteA lot of times it's very hard to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and visual appearance. I must say that you'νe done a excellent job with
this. In addition, the blog loads very fast for me on Fiгefoх.
Supeгb Blog!
