DONATE BLOOD, SAVE A LIFE.

DONATE BLOOD, GIFT A LIFE. On 27 th February, 2014 (Yesterday), in India, we celebrated Mahashiv Ratri.

While one person may be very thin naturally and may not be suffering from any negative health effect, but for others losing their weight       may be unachievable without putting one;s body under dangerous stress.
