Yesterday (March 20) was quite exciting. I was really touched and humbled to get so many calls and mails from my friends and relatives. So many of them remembered my birthday, called or mailed me. I was replying to a lot of mails and scraps on orkut (an online community) when "a friend request" caught my eye...
This person, whom i have not met so far, added me as a friend in orkut. First, I did not bother to click and learn more about the profile. But then, some instinct told me to check! (is this called 'woman's instinct' by people? :)) Well, I am really glad I did as I think this was one of the most memorable moment of the day!
I gasped in astonishment when I read this profile. For the first time, I ended up spending close to an hour learning more about the acheivements and the good work done by him and I thought this profile definitely needs to be known by people , particularly those who are interested in Social Service!
His name is Manekshaw T. He has adopted 17 children who lost their parents to the Tsunami waves. 21 widows who lost their husband to tsunami waves are in his care. 84 Mentally Retarded Children are also being nurtured.
