Voluntary blood donation camps are quite common these days. However, it is quite novel if a marriage occasion turns into a blood donation camp. Yes, it was happened in Rajahmundry on Wednesday. The guests and special invitees were surprised to see the bride and the groom in new clothes, donating blood along with the bride’s father and kith and kin. After seeing this, about 30 guests came forward to join the noble cause.
Bride Kiranmai was polio-stricken when she was four. Her father Malyala Atchutharamaiah and mother Venkata Naga Bala are her inspiration along with her guide and uncle Malladi Venkata Ramana Murthy, who is working as a Medical Officer in the municipal corporation. After her post-graduation she took up a private job and she is actively participating in social service. When her marriage was settled with Chittapragada Sidharth a few weeks ago Kiranmai wanted to celebrate it in a novel way. On the advice of Dr. Murthy and “Sanjeevani” voluntary blood donors organisation president Kotipalli Srinivas, the bride and groom agreed for voluntary blood donation during their marriage with the support of district Red Cross Society.
“It is for a social cause. As a girl I wanted to tell women to donate blood regularly without any inhibitions or doubts. Youth should take up the social responsibility, and I have to thank Sidharth for extending his support for this noble cause,” said Kiranmai, all smiles.
“It is going to be a memorable day not because I am marring Kiranmai, but we are doing it in a novel way with a message to society,” Sidharth added.
