Satshriakaal Mausam,
I have been thinking of writing about the greatest philanthropy act of our times since the news broke out but somehow never wrote about it.
You must have questioned your friends as to "what they will do if they became the richest person in the world?","what will they do with all the money?". A mansion by the beach, a tour of the world, a fleet of ferraris etc etc are the most common answers.
Quite recently two of the world's richest men Bill Gates and Warren Buffet(85% of his total wealth) joined hands in one of the world's biggest philanthropy acts by pooling in their combined savings of $ 60 billion i.e 60,000,000,000 dollors(forget about converting into Rs coz it will take you ages to count that kind of money!).
That money will be used to find cure for HIV/AIDS and eradicating poverty and curable diseases.
Both these men have set an example of what an ideal role model should be like. I remember an article in which I read that Bill Gates and his wife Melinda Gates visit all around the world and personally find out as to how the money donated by their foundation is being used and if the money donated is being used for the reason for which it was donated.
Bill Gates has made it a mission to find cure for AIDS. He has resigned from all day to day workings of Microsoft to concentrate on his foundation. Such generosity, such compassion for the less previlged is difficult to find.
Mr Bill Gates and Mr Warren Buffet you have won a million hearts by your noble act.May God always be with you. Thanks for showing us the right way to live life.
Regards,
Ajj Kaim

gr88 ,,,,,they will always be remembered even when they will be nomore in this world....not for being richest ppl ....but for such an awesome act...i confess...i din't knw abt this b4 i read this blog...thanx for adding something in my knwledge :p
That's mindblowing actually...the kind of money these guys earn and donate....I cannot understand the figure in whtever currency you express it :)
but we dont have to be superrich to help ppl in need. I try and do whatever I can. I hope I am doing alright :)
Brilliant! I am bowled over by the humbleness of such great philanthropic people. Bill Gates has also said in a separate interview that his kids would have to earn their fair share themselves and wouldn't have their 'papa ke paise' to do 'aish' on! Wish Ambanis would learn something from these great guys :)
