Kiva... Loans that change lives!!

http://www.kiva.org/ ... A website which I have been looking into the past couple of days... This a micro lending kind of site.. This is how it works... You get to lend (not donate!!) money to very small scale entrepreneurs who would repay the amount within a certain time frame( say 6-12 mnths) and you can actually use the same money to lend someone else :) So your charitable contribution continues to help people over and over again.. How cool is that !!!

You also get to choose someone to lend to, and then make a loan,by browsing the entrepreneurs' profiles on Kiva.This way U are actually helping a real person make " great strides towards economic independence " and also " improve life for themselves, their family, and their community ".

I just loved the idea of lending money to people who are in real need and when they repay it u can again help more of them.. the coolest part is u can help people over and over without actually burdening yourself ..Money inconsequential to us( like $25) could make a disproportionate difference to a poor person..

Let us make World a better place to Live :) :)

Snow Snow and Snow Everywhere!!

Yeh..Snow.. My another dream come true :) We had a snow storm just for one day which left back 24 inches of snow... It was so much fun watching it snow... And as it was my first time it was still more fascinating to me... Our whole community was sparkling and it looked so beautiful with all those yellow lights... It was just fantastic...This place had this much snow after 10 yrs itseems... but the bad thing was i dint get to make a snowman :( it was too difficult for me to go out in this weather.. So im just sitting at home watching movies and getting bored... Wish I had been in Florida :(

All About Movies :)

Hiya guys... Avatar was out today and dint want to miss watching it on the first day :) It was an incredible IMAX 3D experience.. I wouldn't tell that the story was perfect but the graphics in the movie were outstanding... The movie takes u into an another world which feels as if u were in some kind of dream :) Definetly a should watch movie...

After this movie i got to watch another movie on our blue ray player.. Mamma Mia.. which was a pleasant surprise to me :) Never expected that this musical movie would be so beautiful... A simple story with wonderful songs..the movie if full of life and most of all an excellent performance by Meryl Streep who looked awesomely pretty :) This is another should watch movie :) Well on that note here is one of the beautiful songs from the movie :)Enjoy!!
