There was a need for O+ve on 8th January. The requirement came from one of our faculty members for someone in his family. Given that O+ve is common and that IBS Bangalore has close to 800 students and also the fact that it was a call from someone our own faculty members .....should have not been a problem at all.
But as unique as my experience has been so far with IBSB, this was another learning experience. Atleast 3-4 students had to go in all directions....contacted as many as they can and finally went person-to-person to get the required number .....25 volunteer/donors.
25 donors would get us transport to Manipal Hospital and save time and effort for everbody. After numerous sms and calls the number was finally 19 by afternoon ( about 3-4 hours of effort)
Yet again the Opinion Board did the trick. An outsider from Majestic saw the notice on the board and offered to donate blood.
It seemed 800 students were less .....we required 'Outsiders'.
Something is really missing in our college.....What is it? Why is it so difficult to get serious things happening? Is it that the majority are inside-looking or is it the overload of academic pressure?
Whatever the reasons some things cannot be excused !!
