Getting BLOOD has been made easy!!

Jeevan Blood Bank and AirTel has tied up to give instant information about availability of the BLOOD of your need.

Check out Jeevan Blood bank’s press information here - http://www.jeevan.org/media/press.html

1. An initiative taken as part of Airtel’s Corporate Social Responsibility
2. Special and easy number for quick access on status of available blood - 96000 97000
3. Service available for customers on all networks and toll free for Airtel mobile customers

Airtel already has a partnership with Jeevan, in which a few numbers have been provided free of cost for Jeevan to stay in touch with people wanting to donate blood and patients in need of blood. This is now being strengthened through an SMS service, which provides information about availability of blood.

All that a person needs to do is to type <Blood group + or -> and sms it to 96000 97000 (for example, Blood B+ or Blood AB+). A response will be sent back to the person within a minute, containing information on quantity of readily available tested blood components of the group required.

This facility is available for customers of all networks and is toll free for Airtel mobile customers.

If the required blood is available, one can call Jeevan Blood Bank directly on 044-28351200 or 044-43524242 for further assistance. This service will help minimise the time spent on searching for safe blood and help save more lives.

Excellence...

A German once visited a temple under construction where he saw a sculptor making an idol of God. Suddenly he noticed a similar idol lying nearby. Surprised, he asked the sculptor, "Do you need two statues of the same idol?" "No," said the sculptor without looking up, "We need only one, but the first one got damaged at the last stage." The gentleman examined the idol and found no apparent damage. "Where is the damage?" he asked. "There is a scratch on the nose of the idol." said the sculptor, still busy with his work. "Where are you going to install the idol?"

The sculptor replied that it would be installed on a pillar twenty feet high. "If the idol is that far, who is going to know that there is a scratch on the nose?" the gentleman asked. The sculptor stopped his work, looked up at the gentleman, smiled and said, "I will know it."

The desire to excel is exclusive of the fact whether someone else appreciates it or not. "Excellence" is a drive from inside, not outside. Excellence is not for someone else to notice but for your own satisfaction and efficiency.

ஆயுதம் எடுத்தவன்
ஆயுதத்தால் தான் சாவானாம்!
அப்படியானால்
காந்திஜி
ஏன்
துப்பாக்கி குண்டுக்கு
இரையானார்?
