Thanking Gods through 100 rupee notes ultimately go to help the needy in many cases.<BR/>Belief in donations to temples should be left to personal preferences.<BR/>Do we need to talk about religion and places of worship in a secular country?<BR/><BR/>Potluri Anantaramayya<BR/>Somajiguda<BR/>Hyderabad<BR/>040-55749831Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14029197.post-33996962737458313462007-06-06T16:30:00.000+05:302007-06-06T16:30:00.000+05:30Thanks for your comments Lakshmi and Anonymous (do...Thanks for your comments Lakshmi and Anonymous (do we need to remain name-less in a democratic world?!!).<BR/><BR/>Our newspaper, MYLAPORE TIMES, has also been running a Trust which now focuses on supporting a middle school in the area attended by mostly poor children.<BR/><BR/>The idea we want to drive through this Trust is for people of a neighbourhood reaching out to the less fortunate in the same area. Instead of dropping 100-rupee notes at Tirupathi or a gold ring in the hundi in Palani.<BR/><BR/>We welcome Non-resident Mylaporeans to contribute to this Trust.Vincent D' Souzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860540121667927242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14029197.post-83006342066640968662007-06-05T15:56:00.000+05:302007-06-05T15:56:00.000+05:30You should be knowing about Dreamindia2020.
