Guess where this <i>ek or ek gyaaraa</i> math is coming from.
Go to the AID site and click the link List of Companies matching donation for relief fund

You land at
CNN's site and am sure most of our desis won't bother reading it and conclude that Amex, Abbot, ...etc in that list are providing matching funds to AID<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
The list of companies funding AID was previously available for all public to see. After the expose of AID as a dubious charity, this list was made off limits to the public. But I had this list stored on my hard drive. And I am now making this list available to the public. It will be a good idea to write to them and inform them about the new things that has been made known about this "charity".
