Blood donation camp !
I have always missed the opportunity of donating my blood whenever a camp was organized and every time I missed one such opportunity, the desire to share my blood with someone has been increasing. So when today they organized this Blood Donation camp at our office, I was sure this day was the debut of my long awaited desire.
So inspite of returning back to work after a brief sick leave, and also aware of a medical report showing me marginally anemic, I hoped against all odds, that today when they check my haemoglobin content, it sure would have magically increased for a noble cause, especially after spending 2 weeks at home with Mumma's food. And when I saw how they checked the haemoglobin content, I was sure it was just easy to pass the test. All that was needed was, just a drop of blood drown in a jar of Copper Sulphate solution. Vee made the first move and her drop of blood just sank immediately to the bottom, she went ahead for the remaining formalities. Anju made the next move, and she was the most anamic of the lot, so her blood sank slowly to the bottom, and she was denied the opportunity to donate. Seems, the blood has to sink quickly. So I was sure, my blood would sink faster than Anju's bcos I had a higher haemoglobin content. But unfortunately, my drop of precious blood didnt sink at all, it stayed there at the top deciding to sink or not !! They say Blood is thicker than waterCuS04, Huh, and mine is NOT !!!
So Anju and me were given pamphlets of how to improve haemoglobin content and we watched Vee donate her blood, while I took some pictures of the process, which I hope I would be part of in future, someday, definitely someday ! What is the use of being 5'9", chubby looking, when you cant share a drop of your blood to save a life precious to somebody !
Does that blood look thinner than water ?
