		<title>That little extra warmth to save a life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One evening, about 2 months ago, I went for an event in Mumbai. I had no idea about what this was about as I was simply accompanying my colleagues. It turned out to be a awareness event about Embrace. By the end of the event I was so impressed by the product, I decided to [...]]]></description>

		<title>How your favourite gadget is changing the world: Part 1 of 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you are a regular urbanite like me, to you the mobile phone means just what Priyanka Chopra seems to convey with her idiosyncratic little nod in the Nokia commercial – ‘it’s not just a phone, it’s me’. The ubiquitous device has now been a part of your lifestyle for years. You need it to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tuberculosis detection with a chip&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ralph Weissleder, from Harvard Medical College, has developed magnetic nano particles that can identify tuberculosis-causing bacteria in sputum. This has made it possible to diagnose tuberculosis in half an hour. The traditional method for diagnosis takes about two weeks, as the bacteria is first spotted in sputum under the microscope, and then the suspect samples [...]]]></description>

		<title>Interview with the Chairman of Sankara Eye Foundation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A while ago, we had published an article about  Sankara Eye foundation and their awesome feat of conducting more than 250,000 free eye operations in India. A few days ago, I met their chairman &#8211; Mr. Murali Krishnamurthy. He is an incredibly down to earth and simple guy who agreed for an impromptu interview. Thanks [...]]]></description>

		<title>Goonj</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Posting on behalf of Divya Varadarajan. GOONJ, formed a decade ago, is an initiative to provide basic amenities to far flung villages by turning one&#8217;s wastage to another&#8217;s resource. The &#8220;goonj&#8221; of this organization is spread over twenty states in India. As of today, it has a lot of good will work to its name [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sankara Eye Foundation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most non-profit organizations I have seen here in the SF Bay are centered around promoting education or eradicating poverty in India, but  Sankara Eye Foundation (SFE) is different. They concentrate on providing eye care to needy people in India. Most of us do not know that many forms of eye blindness are curable or preventable. Ailments like [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do your thing!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On a camping trip, the campers wake up before sunrise to cleanse their digestive system. This involves digging a hole, posting your stuff and putting soil back, thus, making the bio-degradable stuff degrade while neither attracting microbe-carrying-flies nor emitting stench. But what if there is not enough unused, un-dug ground left as the camping spot [...]]]></description>

		<title>Let It Roll, Baby Roll&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It doesn’t rain enough anywhere anymore. Every year I read stories about how it hasn’t rained enough this year. Looks like Bangalore’s natural air conditioners have gone dry. The clouds have forgotten the route may be. When I was living in the Malwa plateau, where water woes have been even before I understood what water [...]]]></description>

		<title>Let them see&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It does not surprise me that many people around me think that converting a not-for-profit organization into a profitable business is a terrible idea &#8211; not so long ago I would have whole-heartedly agreed with them. Today, certainly not. Aravind is a good example of how a business can be profitable and self-sustaining, while not [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8216;We told the blood bank the next time you have to say &#8220;No&#8221; to someone asking for blood, please send the person to us&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We got the chance to interact with a Sankalp Volunteer. This article is essentially our conversation with him. Though it is rather long, we recommend you get through it some time. You will not regret it… How was the Sankalp Blood Donation Organization born? One night we jumped out of the engineering college hostel to [...]]]></description>
