Absurd's One Community Events Create Excitement


by itcLive

The Global Community events are generating great excitement within the IT community at our office!!!!

From the time we first sent out a note kicking off the initiative, we now have more than 100 people volunteering at least some of their time to organize the various activities being planned.

Global Community is uniting teams across different teams to come forward and work together to make a difference.

The charity that we have chosen to support this year is ‘Aashayein’ (Hopes). We are planning a unique fun-filled Fund Raiser for supporting this organization -- “Bollywood Box Office” -- which is open to everyone.

Also, we are taking the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility and applying it to environmental responsibility as well, by creating awareness amongst our colleagues about the environmental impact of the daily choices we make! We will be taking 10 minutes out of every manager’s staff meeting and presenting a deck to challenge everyone to be a more responsible global citizen !! So far the response that we have got for this is extremely encouraging !!

We were able to raise around 2,50,000 thro' this programs.




Again I am part of lot of Green Events and Community Services

Tulsi can help keep swine flu away: Ayurvedic experts

Lucknow, May 27: Wonder herb Tulsi can not only keep the dreaded swine flu at bay but also help in fast recovery of an afflicted person, Ayurvedic practitioners claim.


"The anti-flu property of Tulsi has been discovered by medical experts across the world quite recently. Tulsi improves the body's overall defence mechanism including its ability to fight viral diseases. It was successfully used in combating Japanese Encephalitis and the same theory applies to swine flu," Dr U K Tiwari, a herbal medicine practitioner says.

Apart from acting as a preventive medicine in case of swine flu, Tulsi can help the patient recover faster.

"Even when a person has already contracted swine flu, Tulsi can help in speeding up the recovery process and also help in strengthening the immune system of the body," he claims.

Dr Bhupesh Patel, a lecturer at Gujarat Ayurved University, Jamnagar is also of the view that Tulsi can play an important role in controlling swine flu.

"Tulsi can control swine flu and it should be taken in fresh form. Juice or paste of at least 20-25 medium sized leaves should be consumed twice a day on an empty stomach."

This increases the resistance of the body and, thereby, reduces the chances of inviting swine flu," believes Patel.
