British once organized an exhibition in Medinipur in Bengal. Their intention was to hide the injustice of the British using articles like pictures and puppets, and display that British were helping the people of India. Suddenly a 16 years old boy appeared with a bundle of hand-made bills, titled 'Sonar Bangla'. It carried the slogan Vande Mataram'. The true purpose of the British in putting up the exhibition was also exposed. He calmly distributed the hand bill to villagers around.

Right to free compulsory education is here! And the television channels and print media is filled with articles on how difficult it is to implement, thereby displaying the pathetic infrastructure of the government primary schools in various parts of our country!

Behind that smile a nervousness and a strong focus resides. The balls must be kept rolling on. The show goes on only as long as each of those balls is kept up in the air. The juggler knows that even if one ball falls, the show is over. The balls must be kept rolling. The smile should continue to be glued. The show must go on.

Normally, given a theme, I have been able to develop a story around it. However, this time, although, I have wanted to write a story revolving around blood from a long time, I found it really difficult to come up with one. For the very reason is; most of our stories have villains and I was just not able to figure out, who will play villain in my story?

It is difficult to request someone to come forward to donate. People have their own apprehensions. Most are concerned about their own free time when they can leisurely donate.
