Excuse me Guys!! It is November now...and I know I should have posted this long time back. Any way, you know there is no stopping me when I have something in my mind .. Well, Thats me!! Take me for being pretty 'difficult' ...but still, understand that nobody is 'difficult' but rather 'different' ??? Ha Ha...
Well, now ..Its going to be a little serious ... For those of you who are not aware of the cancer campaigns and stuff associated with it.....Hope you ve heard about cancer ribbons and that each month is dedicated to a particular type of cancer... like for instance, a gold ribbon stands for childhood cancer and the month of September would be dedicated to childhood cancer awareness campaigns every year....
The same goes for every month...
The color Pink is supposed to be girlish and feminine.....And I suppose men dont wear pink ??? Think about a man wearing a PINK JEANS OR A DARK PINK SHIRT...you'd call him a freak or a junkie even.....
But PINK…. in the World of Cancer , has great importance cos it stands for Breast Cancer and the month of October is dedicated to this issue...
Cancer campaigners and volunteers all over the world wear pink when they turn up for campaigns or volunteer activities regardless of whether they are men or women......

Now, this is not the main issue here….Last month I got a mail from one of my friends in New York who is an active voluntary social worker but one who works in the administrative section in one of the biggest companies there.
He had gone through very difficult times when his mother whom he loved very much had suffered from breast cancer which was diagnosed in the worst stage and the lady had sadly refused to go in for treatment and finally had the most painful death possible….

So this guy made it a point to wear a pink ribbon on his suit everyday during October...and also pink shirts and pink handkerchiefs whenever he could ....Not to mention the sly looks and snide remarks of his colleagues who would tease him for his improper dressing !! ....
But everytime someone teased him, he would make it a point to explain to them why he wore it. He says he took real pains to explain ...and most of the time it would be quite embarrassing….but he still did it , cos he felt that his actions would speak more than just words ....
And... as he was using himself as a tool for this awareness program, he felt so happy doing it ...Well, I would say that this was the best awareness campaign possible…

Now to give the chills to my male readers ...
I suppose you know that the number of men having breast cancer is on the rise. An estimated 10 percent of the world breast cancer population is men, which is supposed to increase again according to recent statistics....

Now I suppose you guys would agree to my statement that Real Men do wear Pink in October ? Or shall we say ....we need to change the color of the October Ribbon to pink and blue cos it is not just women who suffer but men too …… Anyway , we do have such a ribbon now !!

What's wrong? The dreamer goes technical ? or do we call it professional ? I suppose this is the aftermath of the campaign !! Anyway you send a shiver down the spines of each of the guys !!
Hey Ma'am ,whats all this ? Seems like a 30 second visit to your blog would scare a guy to death!
And whats coming up next in the line? Aliens and blood-thirsty vampires on the loose, looking out only for men ? Theres no saying what you hook up in the next post. But again, the title impresses so very much!
@glen : Nothing technical. What I said is true and you know, truth is bitter . But all that is bitter is not crude and all that is crude is not crazy. I suppose you agree ? !!!
@raghav : Thanks..but anyways I dont think I want to write anything about aliens. Feel sick when I think I ll have to write of you as the main character of the post!
