3rd October, Day 7
My day began beautifully. I checked my inbox to find an email from my cousins who were so inspired by my JGW essay that they promptly made out a very generous donation of Rs.12,000 to Give India. In the spirit of JGW, they also sent a cheque of USD 200 to our common guru, Nithya Shanti, who has inspired us to be joyful and live life to the fullest :-) Tears flowed from my eyes out of sheer happiness. I had never expected that a simple essay/blogpost would actually move someone to perform an act of such noble kindness.
Yet another surprise awaited me in another email inbox! This time it was an online pal who emailed saying that after reading the same essay, had also logged onto the Give India site and made a hefty donation towards the Integrated Sponsorship Program for a Child for a Year! And also bought a pile load of Tshirts from Inkfruit! :-) This golden hearted pal is also sponsoring a girl child through CRY and does a lot of other noble deeds as well.
I was deeply touched that both of the above people chose to share their acts of giving with me and ironically, both swore me to secrecy to keep their info private!! Hehe, truly noble hearted people. I'm glad and proud to know them and share with them this whole giving experience :-) Thank you guys!
As for my own 7D7G task completion, Day 6 happened to be the birthday of a friend's daughter (also a friend) and I had kept aside a pair of earrings to gift her. Its been days since and I've yet to meet her, so that plan flopped too :-(
My last act for the day and JGW constituted signing a petition to save elephants from being cruelly captured and forced to work in circuses in inhumane conditions and against animal protection laws. PETA India had sent me this letter and petition to sign, which will be forwarded to the Minister for Environment. I also enclosed a cheque for Rs.5000 to PETA to fund their activities towards the same cause.
Flora and fauna are very dear to me and environmental and animal protection and sustenance is a cause very close to my heart. The work done by Beauty Without Cruelty, People For Animals, and PETA is marvellous and totally worth supporting. I'm honored to be associated with them as a member.

I knew a girl who worked for PETA. One day over coffee, her inspiring talk motivated me to work toward a good cause. I paid attention to every word she said.
And of course, she was really hot.
Loved reading your whole 7D7G experience. You might also like kiva.org (if you haven't already heard of them)
@V, did you at least manage to get her number?
@Ferret, heyyyy fancy seeing you here, stranger! :)I haven't heard of kiva, will check it out, thanks :-)
While you are at it why don't you do something for the destitute in my name. I mean so that all the good deeds are chalked up in my name.
@Bodhi, helping the destitute crown goes to one gentleman in Madurai who quit his job and now cooks food for the destitute, goes around his town looking for them, and then actually feeds them himself! You and I are nowhere near, forget in the picture, buddy.
It was really nice see the way the joy of giving week was celebrated this year in Bangalore (don't know about other cities). And double thumbs up to you for doing your bit. :)
@Moody Crab, wow, that's good to know. Can you share details on what B'lore did exactly? And thanks :)
