@Binoy, by the way, this may interest you…
Dr/Pediatrician Inus Kasam Vijaliwala, author of Silence Please! (autobiography), reportedly the best-seller (50K copies sold since 2005), happens to be a local doctor here (Bhavnagar).
He is one of the leading Pediatricians here. He nurses thalassemia-affected poor children, providing FREE blood transmissions, consultation and even pays for their transportation – doesn’t even charge a token fee, saying that the parents (poor) would stop bringing them & the children would die. He also doesn’t charge fees for emergency cases that come to him at night.
In 2001 this doctor/pediatrician campaigned for a thalassemia patient to collect Rs.50 lac for bone marrow transplant in Italy – and had even launched a website to reach out to a larger set of donors & doctors for the purpose.
Incidentally, this 'angel-doctor' happens to be a son – one amongst the 7 children - of a poor newspaper vendor who ensured education for all of them by working hard day & night (with no other source of imcome).
Sorry everybody for this off-topic but it's worth a mention here (in context of recent/above discussions).
 Honesty is not a Spare Wheel that you pull out when in trouble. It's a Steering Wheel that keeps you on the right path throughout the life's journey.
