Blood in an emergency

It has become easier to get blood required in an emergency. According to Sherry Batliwala, who sent an e-mail to Parsiana, all you have to do is to type the word "BLOOD” along with the group (e.g. BLOOD B+) and send an SMS to

9600097000 (in India), and a blood do- nor will call you. She urges everyone to share this information as it could save many lives.
