I have been reading a lot these days. Ah and yes my one of the resolutions for this year 2014 being 25 books to read. But I m just letting it loose and reading voraciously, every book I can lay my hands on.
And while I was reading some articles I came across a topic on donation and was hit by a new perspective (that's the advantage of reading) , I have seen many people giving offerings to god, either money, jewels. But I felt it's better to donate to organizations that truly help a cause or a group, it's more helpful and far more gratifying too.
I have to bring a note here , giving or not is more of a personal choice but still , helping people in need is also a way of serving god and I personally never believed much in offerings to god, though my family did (a lot in fact!).
P.S: Giving a rupee to a roadside beggar is not donating for god's sake, please don't encourage that.(I see a lot of proud faces and all they donate is a rupee sigh!)
