Do something for the society..

I have always admired Tata..don't remember which one but the one who told Mrs.Sudha Murthy "Give something in return to the society"..and Mrs.Sudha Murthy has followed it and thanks to her generous work Bangalore is bearable in some fronts..the movie of 'Nirmala Bangalore' and 'Swacha Bangalore' are successful..We always look at Narayan Murthy and others and get ourselves motivated to have such big pay checks but why not just follow some of their good deeds..

We usually spend somewhere around say 1 to 1.5k every month on eating outside and stuff..and we spend most of our weekends either being lazy at home or loafing around..I am not saying spend little and donate neither am i saying not to take rest on weekends..but we can try to somehow contribute 1k on some noble cause like trying to sponsor education of someone needy right from his/her school age..or atleast give a bit of your time to the orphans at an orphanage..be with them..just interact with them..that gives them so much happiness..
and even on birthdays why can't we just give the kids of an orphanage a treat..i think that would give them immense happiness..
i have seen people spending thousands and sometimes even lakhs of rupees donating to temples and performing some poojas..why can't we just donate some amount there and spend the rest on someone needy..

I have just put out my thoughts but again i would like to follow my friend's favorite Swami Vivekananda's saying "Be the change you wish to see"..
Hope i can be the change and wish to see the change in others too..
