The Pretty Lady
Once upon a time a big monk and a little monk were traveling together. They came to the bank of a river and found the bridge was damaged. They had to wade across the river. There was a pretty lady who was stuck at the damaged bridge and couldn't cross the river.
The big monk offered to carry her across the river on his back. The lady accepted. The little monk was shocked by the move of the big monk. 'How can big brother carry a lady when we are supposed to avoid all intimacy with females?' thought the little monk. But he kept quiet... The big monk carried the lady across the river and the small monk followed unhappily. When they crossed the river, the big monk let the lady down and they parted ways with her. All along the way for several miles, the little monk was very unhappy with the act of the big monk. He was making up all kinds of accusations about big monk in his head. This got him madder and madder. But he still kept quiet. And the big monk had no inclination to explain his situation.
Finally, at a rest point many hours later, the little monk could not stand it any further, he burst out angrily at the big monk. 'How can you claim yourself a devout monk, when you seize the first opportunity to touch a female, especially when she is very pretty? All your teachings to me make you a big hypocrite' The big monk looked surprised and said, 'I had put down the pretty lady at the river bank many hours ago, how come you are still carrying her along?'
[This very old Chinese Zen story reflects the thinking of many people today. We encounter many unpleasant things in our life, they irritate us and they make us angry. Sometimes, they cause us a lot of hurt, sometimes they cause us to be bitter or jealous... But like the little monk, we are not willing to let them go away. We keep on carrying the baggage of the 'pretty lady' with us. We let them keep on coming back to hurt us, make us angry, make us bitter and cause us a lot of agony. Why? Simply because we are not willing to put down or let go of the baggage of the 'pretty lady'. We should let go of the pretty lady immediately after crossing the river.
This will immediately remove all our agonies. There is no need to be further hurt by the unpleasant event after it is over.]

Blood Donation - Its All About Saving A Life
"Adopt A Thalassemic Child for Blood Donation"
A new initiative started by www.Indianblooddonors.com. There are many patients suffering from blood disorders who need frequent blood transfusion all round the year. Especially children suffering from Thallesemia who need two transfusions every month. If a donor adopts a patient for blood transfusion, life will be so easy for these patients. These donors will only donate blood to the patient he/she adopts. So if you wish to adopt a patient for blood donation please sign up.
I request patients or relatives of such patients who need frequent blood transfusions to contact and register with www.Indianblooddonors.com, so that they can help them out by patching them up with blood donors who wish to adopt patients for blood donation.
On the website, there are requests for blood donation in different cities in India. If you have a matching blood group please help the patient. Just click on the link to get the patient profile. I also need your help to spread the word about the site (www.Indianblooddonors.com), so that more patients benefit and nobody dies for want of blood.
I request healthy individuals from Team Kensium to support this noble cause and register at www.Indianblooddonors.com.
For More Details Please Visit: www.Indianblooddonors.com

which is a very good service that I have personally experienced.
There is nothing bigger than donating blood to help the needy and save a life."

Orphanage Visit - 6 Sep 09
Hello Kenscions!
On Sunday morning (6 Sep 2009) some of us from Kensium visited an orphanage called "Care & Love" (run by Mr. Nuthan) near Kukatpally. We spent some time with the kids and delivered some items of daily use which they were in need of.
There were 34 children aged around 3 to 13 years. The thing that struck us about the children was how cheerful and courageous these children are in spite of their adverse circumstances.
