And I have a colleague here who is taking a week off (originally meant to just sleep!) but who is off to Pondicherry on her first day off.
While I can only admire her efforts I also think that if circumstances are not conducive to your doing something at the scene literally speaking (because most of us here work and going to the Tsunami affected areas is not a practical thing what with the 'leave policy' etc) I think what is important is to do something about it, within your own scheme of things, however small. Even if its setting aside old clothes, atleast u r taking some time out to think of the unfortunate souls when compared to ppl who say 'Tsunami what/who'? Stopping urself from having a good time on New Year's etc again is a personal choice. I sat at home on NY's. Purely by choice and frankly the Tsunami had nothing to do with it. That doesn't mean to say I'm not moved but probably different people have different ways of showing their concern.
I won't write about the different 'days' coz I read somewhere that a reader's attention span is limited.....!!!More later!
