Is it a response to the paper saving post ??

Not sure if this change is in response to my earlier Paper Saving mischief (click here to see the old post), or if this is a fresh new plan of the business machine company.

Whatever it may be, I appreciate the Good work.
Lets celebrate World Environment Week - Now also for Paper Cups :)
Hoping to see more good plans on saving green..

Environment Week - Now also for Paper Cups :)

***Please note that this post is just for fun, and does not meant to hurt anybody's feelings***

Top secret story turning point posters of the upcoming flick Singam-2 unveiled online. The poster had raised controversies upon who plays the main Villain character in the movie. Sources confirms that the director has plans to release an English version (dubbed) as well for Bond fans!!

The punch dialogues will also be dubbed without changing the meaning it seems.

“Jumping japaangu ten and half tonnn...” :)

Also close sources says that Director is preparing to file a petition on parties that revealed the secret pictures. :) :)

Team Commandos won Tech Quiz at Orion

Guess why I’m posting about Team Commandos ? 

;) I was one of the 3 contestants from the team, who added points at the end (last 2 questions but to the best).

First time ever I had participated a Quiz competition and surprisingly won the game. It was a great moment of happiness for me. Thanks to Commandos team owners for picking me into the contest, and many thanks to team members Abhijit & Manoranjani for adding all the technical question points.

What’s more ??

Happily donated Blood after 2 years!!

There was a Blood donation request mail from my colleague last week. One of his friend’s wife – 32 years, mother of a 4 yrs old boy and a 1 month old baby - is suffering from Metastatic Adenocarcinoma and requires A+ve Blood urgently for Haemoglobin replenishment on a continual basis. The patient was admitted in a nearby Hospital (in ICU) and she required 5-10 units of blood every day.

Ever since I was affected by Herpes I had paused blood donation for more than 2 years now. Now I’m eligible to donate blood (for 12th time). So decided to start all over again to engage regularly in social causes.

I forwarded the mail to other colleagues and got good response from good hearts. We (7 guys at office) went to the Hospital the next day morning and donated our blood for the mother. It's always a great experience after donating blood – "we just not donate blood; we save 1-3 lives by a single time donation".

There were 4 first time donors (first four on photo) who themselves came forward to donate. I appreciate their interest/helping tendency towards Blood donation and wish many others to come forward to support fellow humans. We took our team snap outside the hospital registering the good time (except 2 members).

There are many of us who are really willing to donate blood. Each one has their own doubts towards Blood donation. [One of my ex-classmate who is of O-ve 'rare group' have never donated blood, thinking that it will harm him or that the doctors/hospitals will steal/harm his body parts. Sounds funny, but it's true.]

For all those non-donors please refer to the below link for all your doubts regarding Blood donation. And if you found yourself eligible, please donate blood, save lives!!

New champ born Yesterday

Very happy to inform you that we’re blessed with a cute nephew yesterday. Our child gotta company now. She used to ask my sister about Kicha’s arrival (she pronounces the pet name Krishna as kicha). Marushika says, "kicha... aapy baday"

My sister and brother-in-law are in Cloud9 from yesterday. The Lord added a new member, a beautiful boy child in our small family. Both Mom and kid are fine.

This birth adds more happiness to our life as me and my wife officially became the blood bonded Uncle and Aunt.

May Lord bless him with unconditional love, safer comforts, healthy living and wise thinking, bright future and all good things in Life.

'Go green, do not Print' - BUT using paper cups ??

National Recycling Week at my ex-company’s client office. The Client company is very well known for its Eco-friendly business inventions/implementations around the world. But I often discuss my colleague about the unknown reason why the company is not keen on saving Paper water cups by replacing Plastic or Glass tumbler(s).

One day someone made a notable work to let them know that ‘Save-Paper quote’ will not do miracles on email signatures.. (Go Green ! Print Only When Necessary!!)

The story in conversation as follows:

Kuldeep: (came back from rest room) “Rajeesh, Hemanth, did you see the Rest room wall.? Someone has pasted a paper commenting about Paper Saving. It’s funny.” (He then gave me a doubtful stare.) 

Me & Hemanth: “What dude. What’s so funny. What did you see over there.?” 

Kuldeep: “A comment is made using Paper Water Cup itself. You go and see it” 

Hemanth: “Kuldeep, Do you know who did that ??” 

Kuldeep: (again stared at me and said) “It should be this guy only. Who else will do this mischief here??” 

Me: “Arey Kuldeep. I’m very good fellow yaar. Why should I do that.?” 

Kuldeep: “You were the one who used to talk about Paper Saving in this business machine company. No doubt you are the mischievous prank.” 

Hemanth: “he he he ;)” 

In few minutes, the Housekeeping team with their Manager were seen rushing the Rest room. (Emergency situation for them. he..he..)

We went after some time to see the status and saw the things were removed from there..

Photo 2 - Comments shot

Photo 3 - Closeup shot

Note: The photos were taken even before Kuldeep could see that [i.e. right after it was pasted :) :) ]

This post is not just for fun and believe me there are several good things in using a Paper Cup, but in the same time try avoid wasting Paper cups. Practice to keep a PET bottle at office desk or in your bag, so that we no longer need to rely on any kind of cups. Paper Saving is in other ways saving recycled paper too.. 

I read on Pintrest that "Americans use an estimated 16 BILLION paper coffee cups annually. That’s over 6.5 MILLION trees cut down per year! Paper cups also generate 253 million pounds of solid waste per year; 4 billion gallons of water are used in the paper cup production process per year. That’s enough to fill about 6,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools!" 

Tomorrow its none other than our next generation who will use the products that we save!
