Well, today is just another day for me. But my friends and family friends called and wished me 'happy birthday'. Actually its nice to enjoy more doing something special on such a day, which comes every year. So we at office normally have a small celebration with some food and drinks.
I just thought of doing it differently from this time. Instead of buying my wealthy friends at office a piece of cake, i donated small amount of money for a place where artificial limbs are donated for disabled war heroes. So I informed my friends about my idea and I got several great replies confirming my decision. I was really happy to see I was able to influence at least 2-3 ppl and get them to join with me to help someone in 'real' need.
For most of us living in a luxury life, its just another piece of cake. But for someone who has not had a proper meal in days, its like life saver...
I'm not just trying to be different, I want to do some good and enjoy after seeing what change i could do to them. So next time, before you throw away your money to celebrate something, think twice and use it for a someone in need.
