Blood Donors Database



An awesome and a very very helpful portal specially for those whose loved ones are critical and are in need of blood. This is not just a blood bank but a database of actual donors with their contact details. Donors who have actually voluntered to donate blood and are open to requesters calling them directly.

If you wish to have that halo around your head and wanna do a good deed all you need to do is register yourself as a blood donor. If you are anticipitating the need for a particular blood group and you do not find a donor for that blood group you can even post your blood request and which will show up on the dashboard and you can be sure to have some donor approach you.


Check it out below fellas and pass it on to help someone in need... You could save a life.

Love your Job, Not your Company

Here is a true story from which we all need to learn a valuable lesson in life.

This is nothing new but something that Narayan Murthy, chief mentor and chairman of the board, Infosys Technologies once said, "Love your job and not your company because you never know when your company will stop loving you. In the same lines, love yourself and your family needs more than the company's needs. Companies can keep coming and going; family will always remain the same. Make money for yourself first and simultaneously make money for the company, not the other way around.



This is how the story goes... Once lived a dog named 'Pug' a.k.a Hutch dog. His life was so happy when he was a kid... Playing... Laughing... Sleeping...



He grew up and one fine day he got a job in a company name Hutch. He became so famous... He was asked to follow a small boy where ever he went...


He was seen every where, on websites, roadside hoardings, desktops, etc... Almost everywhere...



One fine day

A new company takes over the old... Pug is panicks and is in a nail biting situation...!!!!



It's been decided... And the loyal Pug was sent off...



A new concept was adopted and here comes the new replacement...


Bottomline :

Never love your company, love your job, you never know when your company stops loving you. Company needs professionals. Be a professional.

Be a Lion and not a Pug...

Eco Font - Ink Saving Font


Looking at the response I got for the Blackle - Energy Saving Search Engine I was urged to share a few economical cool tips.

What is Economy Font?

This may be a new concept now but will very soon become a basic necessity or a compulsion in all corporates. The usage of Economy fonts. These are fonts that have holes in them. Thus the usage of printing ink is minimised.

Instead of using a regular font for an item that you want to print, why not use an economy font? An economy font reduces the amount of ink by 37% that your printer uses to print it, and remains legible.

Couple of experiments were done while designing the font. One of the suggestions was to have holes in them arbitly but that suggestion was not taken as the characters were not legible.

The Design

Here is how the economy font looks as compared to any other font.


The legibility is maintained and the ink is saved. Could be very useful for those having their own business or have loads of printing to be done on a regular basis.

Like it? Download the Economy Font here.


Tips to Install this font.

After you have downloaded the font follow these steps to install them on your computer. Ensure to unzip the font before you start the installation process.

  • Open Fonts by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Fonts.
  • Click File, and then click Install New Font. If you don’t see the File menu, press ALT.
  • In the Add Fonts dialog box, under Drives, click the drive where the font that you want to install is located.
  • Under Folders, double-click the folder containing the fonts that you want to add.

So enjoy saving ink and money & spread the word. :)
