As some of you may already knew, we have re-diverted our initial charity plan to a separate entity which is currently operating as a Facebook group, called ‘Sai Fund‘.

The group will prioritize education and food needs for the unfortunate poor children.

We’ve successfully organized few programs over the past 1 1/2 years. We’re bringing all of you together so that this plans can be executed in a bigger scale. All the money that you will be donating would feed or provide education needs for poor children,now imagine the impact you’ll be making in the future of those children.

The group is named after Shirdi Sai Baba(1838-1918) whose sole mission was spreading love among all living creatures and planting the seed and need for everyone to do charity and help the poor.

Please go HERE to read more on what this group is all about as well as to know in detail regarding the motive of it. We have also listed the amount of donations that we have received thus far and would be sending out newsletters from time to time, informing our members of our progress. By the time I am posting this, we are nearing 1000 members and that is a huge landmark for us! Please do consider donating as low as RM10 a month as your donation would definitely secure a child’s life.

So as you all may know, we have successfully executed our charity event on 22nd February 2010. Before I proceed any further, let me express my gratitude to all the donators who had donated more than enough to fund this charity, along with our readers and supporters for being a part of the backbone in organising this charity, directly and indirectly.

It was a bright day when brother Suren of Eyezmachi.com and myself drove all the way to the Banting road (via KESAS) and waited for brother Durai of RagedIndian.com, brother Sashi and brother Kannan at the side of the road. While driving, I thought to myself on how the hell I am going to face all the students and teachers at that school as I was having a flu on that day and my eyes were swollen due to being allergic to some fucked-up pills, thus being forced to wear a cooling glass. “Ah, mairachi..”. At least that gave me some confidence.

The journey was quite long in order to reach that school as we have to go through the estate road as seen in the following picture. By the time we arrived there, our cars were soaked in sand, dust and rock.

The moment we reached there, we quickly ask the teacher whether do the students want to have their ‘breakfirst’ first or should we segregate all the books and hand over to them. Instead of an answer, it was the teacher who asked us back the same question. Anyway, she suggested that it would be better to prepare the breakfast as the break time is nearing. Without hesitating, we prepared their breakfast, served the kids with a pack of meehoon and of course, a piece of chicken (KFC) for each of the kids. “Nandri anne” (Thanks brother) would be the common word that we could hear from those kids when we are serving them, something that we don’t get to hear all the time.

Our charity plan was a huge success and special thanks goes to all our donators and contributors as without you guys, our plan would be nothing. We had a great time chit-chatting at that school and I’m sure the kids would have enjoyed their new ‘gifts’ as well. More info, detailed experience, pictures and videos shall be making its way soon so stay tuned to this blog as well as RagedIndian.com. Here’s a teaser for you guys:

 
Now, let’s get into our topic for today. I’m going to give you a situation which I underwent recently and would really love to hear your thoughts about it. Here you go:

1) A girl called you all of a sudden and she asked whether does your name starts with “P” (which isn’t in my case). She even mentioned that you recently ported from Telco A to Telco B and asked you whether it’s true or not. (which is true in my case but I lied to her saying no). You asked how the hell did she knew that and she said that she’s working in Maxis and is having all the necessary details about you.

2) After saying a few “NO”s, she insisted of being a friend with you. Then, instead of asking your whereabouts, she asked for your YAHOO/MSN ID.

3) Out of curiosity thinking that it may be your friend playing a prank on you, you gave your MSN ID and start chatting with her, with a well-planned intention of ‘flirting with her’ and ‘eager to date her’.

4) Surprisingly, she mentioned that she HATES LOVE and LOVES to be your friend. A very very very good friend, she said.

5) She then asks for your photo but you asked her photo instead. Again, as stupid as it may sound, she gave her YAHOO ID and PASSWORD for you to view her photos in her “Yahoo Profile”. Without hesitation, you tried logging in, succeeded and managed to view her photos.

While I’m currently busy drafting my next post, I thought of asking you, my beloved readers’ opinions regarding the ‘naming ceremony’ of my upcoming designing portfolio site. It should contain the word “Vikz” followed by whatever word (only one word) that may be related to designing, graphics and etc. If you guys have anything in mind, do not hesitate to pour out your ideas by commenting below. By the way, if you are wondering how my designs would look like, well, I’ve compiled some of the logo designs that I have made for my clients all around the world. Have a look below and if you feel like criticizing my designs, feel free to do so. And don’t forget, please pour out your ideas regarding the site name as well as I suck terribly when it comes to ‘naming’.

The following was drafted by Durai of RagedIndian.com and both of us planned to post it simultaneously in our respective blogs today. The commenting option for this post has been disabled as I feel, it would be much better to discuss about this plan in one platform alone rather than two different platforms.

 
I’ve kept you in the dark for such a long time now about the new charity plan. I’ve been planning this from February and I would have executed it if I did not think twice at that time. Previously, when I did a small charity, I had only kept my closest friends in loop so that they could participate.

First, I would like to announce that this charity would be run online with me and Brother Makkez pioneering the event.

After I talked about it here, then I got to know some of you might want to participate. So, I would make it this way then. This time, I’m planning to make it a 2 in 1 kind of thing.

Let me get to the plan:

There are 2 things Makkez and I had planned after a few session of email brainstorming:

1. Books and Stationeries

This is the initial plan that I thought of in February. I’m planning to make the charity plan simple by contributing to Tamil schools. It’s simple because all I thought was, buying 1000 notebooks and stationeries and then handing it over to the Tamil school for them to distribute to the students.

Why?

It’s because based on my own experience teaching Tamil schools 5 years back, I’ve seen how Tamil school children’s lacks the basic tools they need to study everyday. They do not even have notes to write down whatever they’re studying. How do we expect them to excel then?

I know you might think that by distributing it to the children, little effect it might bring to the children. But whether it brings little impact or bigger impact, the rest is up to them. Perhaps we can continue planning something in the future for these kids.

For now, this is what we’re going to execute.

For the past few days, my site was down due to the following reason:

“Bandwidth Limit Exceeded” means that my hosting account (or simply put: this blog) has exceeded its allocated bandwidth for the month, and the reason was due to the extremely heavy traffic that I have never expected to get. One thing that I notice is that, the more I didn’t update my blog, the more my visitors tend to increase. For this reason, I don’t know whether I should be happy for getting a lot of incoming visitors or should I be worried about the bandwidth increment. Sigh. Looks like I gotta upgrade my hosting package as soon as possible before my site would be down again this month.

Anyway, let me be honest here. One thing that keeps on pulling visitors to this blog would be the theme of this blog, or to be precise, the Super Adsense Wordpress theme bundled with a great SEO technique. Hats off to Mr. Gobalakrishnan for his wonderful theme! And not forgetting, thanks to all of you who keeps on visiting my blog despite knowing that I’m keeping on giving some lame excuses for not updating my blog regularly.

As the title goes, I’m terribly sorry for the long break that I ‘took’ right after the ‘Dasavatharam Kavadi’ post as I’ve been very busy with some wedding events, upcoming engagements, studies and examinations and not forgetting, my personal life. Now that I have settled down most of those, rest assured that I would be updating this blog from time to time henceforth. I am aware that I would have frustrated some of my regular visitors out there, especially those who emailed me and went berserk due to my ‘lazyness’ in updating my blog. To you guys, please do accept my sincere apologies.

On the other hand, I would like to congratulate my M1 partner Durai of RagedIndian.com for his 1 year anniversary in blogging under the M1 influence. Hats off brother!

Last but not least, to sum things up, I’m back!

*I hope my regular visitors would still be lurking around in this blog. =(
