Every
few months our social networking websites do something good and it makes us
look at them in a positive light. Recently the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge has been quite a success. For those who don’t know, this challenge is
raising awareness for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and aiming to raise money for its association. Through
the challenge, people have to pour ice water on themselves, make a video, post
on a social networking site and then challenge three other people. If those
people fail to respond within the next 24 hours by doing the same, they have to
donate to a charity. In the last 20 days, the association has raised $15.6 million, a little less than ten times the normal amount they've previously raised in the same time period.
Now the likes of Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Steven Spielberg, Oprah Winfrey, Justin Bieber, et al. have already taken up this
challenge. The initial reactions to the icy cold water have been really funny
in some videos. What if this came to Indian celebs (you know, maybe Anil Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra get tagged by their colleagues ;) )? How will they respond when a bucket-full of ice water is poured over them? Well,
here’s a sneak peak, and a light hearted one at that:
Ailaa, it’s cold – God/Sachin Tendulkar

After you are done laughing, visit this link and encourage the youth by just writing something under 130 characters in the box there. When you're done, IndiBlogger will kindly loan a Milaap's borrower Rs. 1000 on your behalf (you don't pay). Sweet, isn't it? You just have to go to the site and you'll help someone get a job. Be a good Samaritan, sweetheart! I won't make fun of you, promise. I won't mind even if you don't comment and used your precious time hopping over to their website. Me and four of my friends have posted already... that's a good Rs. 5000 raised :)
P.S. I think the bucket challenge is amazing. This was in good humour and should be taken in the same spirit.
