In today’s time feelings of patriotism, truth and nonviolence have taken a back seat. We only get patriotic and nostalgic about our country when India wins a cricket match.  The materialistic world of ours is facing much trouble because of our selfish needs and desires. The world is in pitiable condition because of so much of violence, bloodshed, bomb blasts, riots, killing of innocent people all over the world.

Donate Blood to Live Long

September 23, 2010 By 3 Comments

Before 18th century no one might have ever imagined that blood of one man can be transported to the other man’s body. The history of blood donation relates to the bloody World War-1 when the research began about preservation and transporting blood.

Today, when world is growing technologically, scientifically and environmentally, somewhere blood became a basic and most important necessity to save human lives. In India the requirement of blood is 4 crore unit every year but only 40 lakh unit of blood is available; another shocking fact is, in every 2 seconds someone needs blood in India.(source)

Blood Donation is a noblest work someone can do. It is not necessary to join a NGO or work full time for blood donation but even if you donate your blood once in a year then you not only save someone’s life but also get blessed by many others. We Indians have strong faith that prayers sometimes works better than anything else.
