My First Blood Donation Experience

-
When I was a student of Masters Degree in Kathmandu Model College, there was a blood donation campaign. Many of my friends and juniors donated blood, but I feared. I was just feeling nervous and mentally I had not thought, ok, I will donate blood. On the other hand, my weight was not much enough to donate the blood.

This Sunday, I was in the Teaching Hospital and saw Dhading Health Society had organized a blood donation campaign. This society belongs to my homeland. I just had a quick idea: ok, lets do it. Later I found that all the people of that organization, I knew. I was there for the first time, going to donate the blood, which was quite unique feeling. I was a bit more frightened about what will be the situation after donating the blood. I was waiting my turn and there was a lady who had just donated the blood. She fainted. Really. Then, you can guess what was going in my mind. I know, blood donation is a common act that people are doing, but if you are going to do it for the first time, you will not feel it comfortable.


Blood donation is life donation



     I was little bit scary

I did my pressure checked up. I went to the place where it took place. I felt like a pinch when the nurse inserted a needle. Then everything was ok. I just made confident myself if I was not feeling dizzy and anything. Yes, everything went well. Later, they offered something to eat after the session ended. Later I called to my mum and let her know about my social deed, but she was not happy, just because she did not want to hear that about ½ liter of blood went from my body. However, I felt myself re-energized and I am so happy that I could do it.



No more fear after all

(I am sharing this experience as a first time blood donator because many people fear that they will have some health problems if they donate the blood)

  About Poet A winner of Man Booker prize for his novel The Famished Road, the Nigerian poet, fiction writer, and essayist Ben Okri (1949-) spent his early childhood in London. Informed by folk tales and dream logic, Okri’s writing also treats his family’s experience of the Nigerian civil war. In an interview for The National, Okri stated, “I grew up in a tradition where there are simply more dimensions to reality: legends and myths and ancestors and spirits and death. You can't use Jane Austen to speak about African reality. Which brings the question: what is reality? Everyone's reality is different. For different perceptions of reality we need a different language.”  A prolific poet and storyteller, Okri, like in his other works, portrays the hardships of the African people in “The Awakening Age”. In addition, he makes a call for unity, peace and solidarity among human beings from different parts of the world. The Poem O ye who travel the meridian line, May the vision of a n...
