The Real Farmville
Do u like playing Farmville on FaceBook? well i dont, but loved the fun in playing Real Farmville (Planting Trees in real) On 26th-Jan 2010, Chennai’s Chapter of “The Saplings Project” was organized at Dr.MGR’s School for the Hearing and Speech, Ramapuram
Early Morning when i woke up, thought only a few(may be 1 or 2 ) would be turning up for this event(planting trees) But when i reached the venue, was suprised to see a lot of people which includes the NSS volunteer’s from nearby college (Alpha College) and few from another organisation lead by Mr. Mullai Vanam and Mr. SugaVanam. By the time we reached the venue these people had finished digging pits and ready for planting.
We also went around the school and found Puratchi Thalaivar MGR’s House in the front (behind which the school is being constructed ) learnt a lot about our Dr. M.G.R’s Past life as people were discussing about him :)
Later Then we started our action, to plant these sapplings, It was fun coz @Rajasekarn, @SandeepVarma also joined along with @Kiruba and me. We planted a sapling just then @sandeepvarma branded it as “The Tedx Tree” I felt really happy coz this is the first time, i see myself doing a useful work on a Republic day
I really appreciate this idea of “Sapplings Give Away” done by people like sathish(@bombaylives), Ranjith(@ranjithwalunj) and SugaVanam. We all know that one day or the other our Earth is gonna end, becoz of these natural calamities like Global warming or Tsunami or whatever. But if we all join hands to carry out these kind of Sapling projects throughout India (later worldwide) Definitely we would hav a chance to save the world, making it a better place to live :)
Friends do read about “TheSaplingsProject”, An awesome intiative started by Satish and Ranjith, do share it with your friends and relatives. Scared after watching the movie 2012? Dont worry we still have one last chance to Save the Earth
