Dear Friends,
Good Evening!
The Joy Of Giving week will be celebrated from 26th September-2nd October.The motive behind celebrating this week is to develop kindness among poeple and to instil the quality of giving something to the dear and near ones and to the needy without any expectations.This week was launched in 2009 and is held every year starting on a Sunday and ending on a Saturday,including 2nd October-Gandhi Jayanthi Day.Let us remember the great freedom fighter of India-the Father Of Our Nation-Mahatma Gandhiji who was the strong pillar behind the millions who changed India into a free country!
I have observed and experienced that the joy of giving is manifold more than the joy of receiving.The happiness and satisfaction one receives after giving is irreplaceable as it evokes genuine human feelings.Today we are too busy to spare time to reach out our relatives,friends and the needy.One need not be rich to be the part of this noble celebrations.Have a large heart filled with love and care.What can we give?It is not just money or materials.We can gift time,skills and resourcesThere is a long list that we can offer.
A broad and inspiring smile,
Kind words spreading peace and cheer,A visit to an orphanage or old age home,
Taking precautions not to hurt,
the sentiments of our friends and fellow beings!
A word of appreciation for the good work,
A small gift of a fresh and fragrant flower,
A sincere and honest attitude in connections,
A tight and loving hug,
A friendly call,mail or sms,
The short love notes of
''How are you' and ''I miss you''.
Giving time to go for a stroll,
With whom the sunset will be more beautiful.........
Uttering the most inspiring words,
Into the ears of the depressed.........
Lending a helping hand to the parents,
Using the magical words,
Thank You and Please...............
Tolerating different kinds of people,
And spreading communal harmony!
Feeding the homeless and the hungry.
The birds and the animals...
Chanting a prayer for the sick,
And sending a handwritten letter,
To the one who waits for it....
Engage someone in a worthwhile conversation,
Sharing the experiences of joy and pain.Giving the presence and comfort,
To the ones who cry their heart out......
Stop grumbling and live life to the fullest,
Helping the blind to cross the road,
Reading out the good books to the people around,
Introducing the illeterate to the world of letters,
Buying crayons and sketchpens with colourbooks.
Just a kind gesture of asking,
''Hello,how are you?''
[Between,I do take care to do most of these actions.....]:)
And just to remember-before pointing one finger to others,the other four fingers are pointing towards us!
So,be humble and say God,thank you so much........
For all teh blessings you've gifted to us!
The long list of our actions that give us the joy never ends here...................''Happiness is not something you carry in your hands.
It is something you carry in your heart.
A word of care and love gives happiness''.
So,dearies,tell me what are you going to do now?
Friends,
Be less self centered.Be ready to give for a cause of your choice.
Do something that can remove the frustration of your friend,Let someone express himself/herself;
All of us have untapped resources,dormant skills and abilities awaiting an opportunity to be revealed.Today,Anu assures you her sincere love dil se...........
Wishing you a beautiful night that leaves a broad smile on your and my face.........:) Stay Tuned,
Sasneham,
Anu

It is a wonderful post.It contains guidelines how we can give love and kindness.It is said that we make a living by what we get but we make a life by what we give.Kindness and giving act like a boomerang.It comes back manifold.Giving should be with no strings attached and with no expectations.Like the vine that gives grapes or a tree that gives shade , giving is without self interest. Happiness should be felt in the very act of giving to unknown strangers not to friends and relatives.
I am so happy that Anupama has given a very nice message to all
and i shall celebrate this week! Thank you for letting me know :-)

I know you're upset about the happenings of the present life of the youth;still as and when you get a chance to show someone the light and the right path,please do.....The youngsters need love and care and they look for examples more than just advices.
Wishing you a lovely Sunday to relax,
