Joy of Giving week (Sept 27 - Oct 03)

The Joy of Giving week is already on its way. If you don’t know what that is hit www.joyofgivingweek.org. Wanted to write about it but the internet has eluded me for some days now. It’s an initiative taken by an NGO called Give India to urge people from all walks of life to engage in acts of giving. It could be in the form of money, resources, clothes etc. Paradoxical as it may sound; Giving is one of the best ways to receive what you want in life. For e.g. if you want more attention from someone try giving attention to that person, if you want love try giving love. There is a notion that one can give only when he/she has something to give. I disagree. Even if you don’t have anything to give, you can always silently pray or bless for a third persons happiness.

So let us try celebrating and experiencing the joy of giving this week. Let us not fight with the autowalla for that extra 10 rupee. Together we can make this world a better place to live in.
