“We make a living by what we get..We make a life by what we give” - Desire Society



Cultural committee in keystone organizes events monthly to motivate the employees and to engage the people during events... There are set of people who belong to CC team and they meet monthly once to discuss and finalize the event for the current month. As usual, people belong to CC team met in a room along with HR for discussion... We came up with so many event ideas and ended up with one. It’s the shahins idea “Philanthropic event”. Everyone came up with idea like helping the orphanage, providing need things to Kids in Government school, helping street beggars and so on. Surfed the internet and plotted the various areas in Bangalore where the government school needed things and Orphanages... The Main thumb rule we had is “if searching for Orphanage, search for orphanage which is not famous and which really needed help” as some Orphanages in Bangalore are fake. After week of internet surfing , Shahin and Niranjan finalized Desire society Orphanage in the Bannergata Road  , Before finalizing the place they both went to there and discussed with Management what are the things they really needed and whether the Orphanage is really in need of Help “Hats off to them”…

White Board placed in the reception area with few drawing and quotes to denote the people “How helping others make worthful the life is “... Mail was sent to the Keystone associates regarding the event and the time of the event “The finalized event date was 27th July 2014“... Raina one of the creative people in Handicrafts designed a badge for the CC team and the badge was pinned in our shirts during the last few days before the event... Boxes were placed in every floor... For the first few days, boxes we empty and as the day closes by the boxes started to fill in faster manner  “Thanks Guys for your generous heart”… 

The day came; volunteers met in office and placed the sorted things in the Car... Few came in Car and few came in bikes to the orphanage “Desire Society”... Reached the orphanage after few turns and little little confusion in road diversions… After reaching there, Cartons were unloaded and placed in the Hall area. For few minutes no one showed up, so I gone inside and introduced myself to the guy who is managing the orphanage... I peeped in to one of the room, I saw about 30 to 40 kids sitting in ground and drawing something in white paper with color pencils. A Lady in the room said, drawing competition is going on... Plenty of smiling faces... 

I stepped outside the room and went back to the Hall area... The management guy introduced himself and about the orphanage. Keystone volunteers placed the carton inside the orphanage. Few volunteers started to help the kids in drawing pictures, Umesh kid vaishnavi and Priya son took drawing paper and started to draw...Time ran fast after spending time with kids there…. 

Drawing competition ended in 30 minutes... Niranjan and Shashank came with the idea of showcasing the talents of the kids and distributing things for the kids who performed (Biscuits, Chocolates, Note books, pencil and so on)... 

 For the ones who performed very well extra prices were given… Few sang songs, three guys performed karate and some danced for Singam 2 songs… Talent showcase went for an hour and kids enjoyed Very well... Clock ticked 12:30 PM, time to leave and time for lunch... Since the management had some plan of celebrating the birthday for a kid, we thought let’s take a group snap and leave for the day... All of them lined in a row and clicked a group snap…


Volunteers thanked everyone and went back to their home...

Travel Light - Pack Smart

I tend to stuff more in the luggage back while going to hometown, traveling for a casual trip or business trip to other country. At the end I end up in wasting too much of energy in carrying the luggage where most of the stuffs will not used in the trip. So I started to explore the ways to optimize the luggage space and the stuff needs to go in to the luggage back which avoids burden. Wherever I read for alternate options it’s said “Travel light”. By traveling light, we end in carrying stuff which really needed for the trip and saving the fuel of the vehicle too… “What if someone puts a heavy load on your back and ask you to carry , U waste huge amount of energy , need energy drinks to replenish the body strength (Water , energy drinks) ..Same applies for vehicle, putting too much weight in car decreases the fuel efficiency and end in filling too much of petrol which takes too much of money from your pocket. For instance, If everyone traveling onsite “Travel Light”, more fuel w
