Just in the whisk of the weekend shopping spree we where invited to donate blood, I am of that type who jumps from the place the moment I heard the word "Injection" but never been donated blood so far and been tempted by my whole hearted use of my blood to anybody who needs it badly, made me to take the decision of giving my blood...
There was a long queque for it, and there where stages to proceed, first registration where they asked some interesting questions like "Are you mentaly affected?" "Have undergone sex transformation? followed by checking the weight...then the crutical stage of taking blood sample, I felt very strong by holding my wife's hand tightly and shouting for punching the needle to my finger tips for blood, I became famous as all looked at me strangly!!! Now to the different set of questions "Have recently visited any europian country?' then asking my wife to go to her place...asked "whether you have sex with strangers/prostitute.......finaly to the seat where my wife and I sat close to each other to allow the syringe to suck our blood...
I often feel that the promotions to give blood had no effect, but I realy found out that those blood donation advertisements has given more confidence of donating the blood.Planned to regularly donate my blood hereafter...
