Movember - Brotherhood for a common cause !

I heard about Movember last year, was surprised with the idea which was for Men’s health. This seed of this idea was put in a normal conversation between two men, which eventually took it shape over the years. Each person part of this foundation are called Mo Bros. From 30 Mo Bros in Melbourne, Australia in 2003 to 4 million Mo's by 2013, Movember, through the power of the moustache, has become a truly global movement that is changing the face of men's health. For complete history of Movember refer below. 

I happened to read about Movember in October last year and decided to grow my moustaches. Initially didn’t go well on my face but as few days passed by, it looked better. At the end of the month, it was actually looking good, off-course I got some good compliments too. I even carried it for a month more. This is how I looked with moustaches.

Movember foundation is an organization which aims at working towards men who suffer from Prostate cancer, Testicular cancer and also mental health. More information on this can be viewed here [http://ex.movember.com/]. One can actively participate and spread the awareness, be a fundraiser and be part of this brotherhood. 

India however has a long standing culture of growing moustaches and it doesn’t come by surprise men having moustaches and are grown throughout year. Why not make this culture take some course where it can also be the cause for something good. Right now, I don’t see Movember is popular in India but I do see newspapers and TV shows have articles and shows about this. Hope to see it grow bigger in this part of the world. However I do see Facebook page for Movember India and its active [https://www.facebook.com/movemberindia?fref=ts].

Rules are very simple, here it is.. 



So, this time too I am signing up for the Movember and follow it for the month. I will try to get more information on Prostate cancer, Testicular cancer and spread whatever knowledge I gain through social media and through my blogs. 

Sample moustache style, well you can find many other styles around you or you can create your unique style.



Welcome to Movember. One day to go..

Mo Bro !!
