Who said twin towers are gone ... ? They are still standing high, in fact growing taller! The duo who make the top 2 richest men on earth, definitely are twin towers of philanthropy ! "Sage of omeha" surprised the world by donating $37 billion (out of his $44 billion) wealth .. A feat never accomplished by none but him so far (well i can dare say ,not atleast in our life time) . Though following the trails of charity set by Rock feller and Carnegie , buffet has once again displayed his keen business acumen by donating $31 billion to gates foundation and not starting his won foundation ! A research says 30% wealth of foundation
s are drained in administrative/operational work ! 
Bill & melinda gates were visibly humbled by warren's donation .. The $60 billion money is equivalent to handling 30 Infosys !! One thing, warren buffet very well grasps is that the chairman of microsoft will be "macro-hard" when it comes to optimising costs ! Experts feel a new trend might be set in the way NGO's operate, by entry of corporate doyens like Bill gates !
The news is as important to us in India, as gates has a good portion of his money invested in research for TB !
I cannot defend the martial skills of jackie .. so I better mention his deed too .. Mostly gone unnoticed is , his annoucement to donate half his wealth to his " Jackie chan" foundation" !
Back home , we have setup like premji foundation, Infy foundation doing great work ! What more, people like sunil mittal are soon to follow the footsteps . Hope this would create better oppurtunity for the needy ! Atleast good cost conciousness at NGO level .
By the way 4th design plan of twin towers is ready to be built by 2012, which would be 1776 ft high (guess why this number - well may be thats why it is called "freedom tower" :-) ) !
