Watch it and tell me about your sentiments. Do you feel sad; do you feel the ache within your heart; do you wish you could do something for them. Keep in mind, those 3 might have been saved, but there are still many more in perhaps another secluded village who are deprived and disconnected from the world.

While all of us have been born into this comparatively much wealthier society, the talks about gifts have gone beyond the forms of mere greetings or cards.

Ponder over this, how many of these "gifts" have come into good use after many years down the road, especially those ornaments and plushes. Nevertheless, luxurious gifts have taken their toll to occupy some sort of an obligatory role within many, as such, sending gifts (even not on birthday) is a common thing, more often than not meaningless. "I give because I feel like." That may be a form of appreciation, but all in all, nothing beats the sincerity, and I thought sincerity could be the hardest thing to replicate? The effort, which I've so often emphasised.

Then there comes a time when people begin to wonder, at least for me, "what if we give up that habit; what if we replace that gift with a more meaningful act; what if we could be happy and yet our happiness could extend beyond national boundaries. The many "what-ifs".

I'm just wondering if there would ever be a day, when "giving" becomes a form of "gifting", when the receiver gives instead of receives. After watching those films, I've told some of my friends about my desire for them to kindly divert the money that they want to spend on my gifts for me to the available charitable organisations, sometimes a little too overboard. But frankly, sorry but please do not take it to offence because that's what I really wanted. I mean instead of receiving something which I've got no real needs, I'd rather the money be spent in some better ways, in your name or my name I do not care though. Moreover, my wants are way beyond those that could be affordable at the moment- bicycle, watches and all- so I would really appreciate much.

Then finally, this morning a thought came knocking at me, if there could be some Samaritan willing to offer help, I thought perhaps there could be an official organisation to deal with all those donations, and in exchange they would present us with a certificate of sorts to record the donated amount. Designs could be personalised or based on template, and these certificates ought to be as low cost as possible to enhance the true purpose. What do you all think? Hm... Might be a wishful thought, but that would be so cool if it ever comes into place.
