யாருக்காக யார் !!! ???

பள்ளிக்கூடம் செல்லமறுத்து அடம்பிடித்துக்கொண்டிருந்த குழந்தை...
சமாதனம் செய்ய முன் வந்த அப்பா
- "School-க்கு போகனும்மா..."
அப்போ நீங்க முதல்ல Office போகனும் ... சரியா ?
"நான் Office போனாத்தான் நீ School போகமுடியும்மா ..." என்று யோசித்தப்படியே "சரி" என்றார்
போறதே உனக்காகத்தான் என்று மெல்ல முனங்கியவாறு கைப்பேசியிடம் சென்றார்.

This should definitely be in the web - America to Thaenoor

Its a shame that I could not find this in the web through search engines and this post definitely deserves it.

America to Thaenoor Village – A Journey of a Software Engineer

Senthil Kumar, a software engineer earning 4 lakhs per month (before 3 years) in Detroit, USA decided to pursue his dream when his bank balance reached 1 crore. Yes, it is such a wonderful dream which no one would have ever thought about.

Senthil Kumar resigned his job in Detroit and went back to his native Thinnanoor village, Trichy, Tamil Nadu. He wandered alone in a bi-cycle and visited many villages around Trichy. Finally he settled down in Thaenoor, a very remote village.

Family Background:

Senthil is the 3^rd child of Gopalan and Leela. Gopalan works in a sugar factory, his brother is a doctor in London and sister settled down in Chennai after marriage. Senthil is a very simple man, traveling in a bi-cycle wearing a dhoti and living as a typical village person. He carries a laptop along with him in his cycle.

Senthil started his social work in January 24, 2005. He opened up a small hospital, a computer center and a small school under a tree for the people of this village. He thinks we need to learn more about our villages, the good things about our surrounding villages and think how to earn by staying in villages.

He has spent around 40 Lakhs from his pocket so far for this effort, to develop the village. Really Inspiring….

Senthil says “We need to find out ways of employment in villages. So we started Data Entry Operation, Collecting waste clothes from Tirupur and taking thread out of it, to re-use, Natural Agriculture, Manufacturing oil, etc… So far we have planted 3000 trees in and around our villages, which will increase the rainfall in our village”

Senthil’s colleagues abroad and his college friends are supporting his initiative. He says that whatever he has done are very small things and we need to do a lot to improve our villages which directly develops our INDIA.

Need of the hour:

They request Government School Teachers, Doctors and College students to visit Thaenoor village once in a week or once in a month to share their expertise, so that their village’s development will be faster.

Leela, Senthil Kumar’s mother expects him to get married soon. She is worried at times, when people comment like “After studying and earning so much, why your son has become like this……” But she is very much happy with Senthil Kumar’s efforts to develop INDIAN Villages…

What a nice dream ! :)

As usual .. just see each other .. dont speak ..
travel in a car .. Ambassdor ( I think ) blue color .. MyA turns that side away from me..
gather strength and courage ask for no..
MyA says that and me with trembling hands and blush in face noting down in my mobile and confirming it whether its right ..
Unable to believe all this and the mobile too .. writing down in a paper ..
start memorizing ..
Can I call often ? Well that might not be allowed .. well not that often ..
smiles .. ok ..

What a fantastic one ?
