Dear: ANIMESH.GARU


GREETINGS FROM DESIRE Society. This is just a confirmation note, but it comes from my heart to convey you.


Thank you for your very kind gift of Rs.XXXXX/-, which we have received on 06.09.2011. Your generosity will make an immediate difference in the lives of destitute orphan children who are suffering with deadly and incurable disease HIV/AIDS. I’m sure that your gift will enable us on providing quality health care for these unfortunate little lives.


For sure, we are going to use your gift to fund our Care & Support program. Your generosity is going to help us buy the medicines and nutrition for the children living with HIV virus. Good nutrition and timely medication, as you know, is so vital and desperate in fighting off the diseases and infections among the people who suffer with HIV virus.


You can read about this exciting initiative in our website http://www.desiresociety.org/. Thanks once again for your kindness, looking forward to hear again from you.


Note: Soon, we will be sending the original receipt along with 80G Income Tax exemption certificate to your mailing address.

Beggars

If you are staying in India, you are familiar with the sight of beggars "attacking" a vehicle on a crossing. Children, men, women, old people...all kinds of people are there, begging on Indian streets. Even if you feel the urge to give something to a beggar, you stop yourself thinking that may be the beggar is part of the "begging industry" and there is a begging "mafia" running the show. It is thanks of the "realistic" cinema (Madhur Bhandarkar types) that we are aware of such unfortunate truths of our times. Such movies show the true picture of our society and they are indeed very helpful in forming an opinion.

Everyday I encounter at least 50 beggars but I dont feel like giving something to each of them. Its the old ones who move me. Many a times I have stopped myself thinking about the "industry" but I have felt sorry after driving past the signal. What if the old man on your car window is not part of an industry and really needs food? May be 9 out of the 10 times you end up funding the industry but for me, that one occassion is worth it.

Know what, one day I want to give a 100 Rs note to an old beggar woman, just to see the reaction. And if it brings a smile or any expression of joy on her face, I will be glad all my life.
