Catch: He brings hot meals to India's homeless
Madurai: If you
had not heard of Narayanan Krishnan, as I had not, it is a collective failure.
This is one of the most incredible stories of personal commitment.
Narayanan Krishnan, all of 29 years old now, does what he was professionally
trained to do as a chef. Feed people. Only Krishnan does not do this in the
swanky confines of a 5-star hotel. Every day, he wakes up at 4 am, cooks a
simple hot meal and then, along with his team, loads it in a van and travels
about 200 km feeding the homeless in Madurai, Tamil Nadu.
Krishnan feeds, often with his hands, almost 400 destitute people every day.
And for those who need it, he provides a free haircut too.
Eight years ago, this award-winning chef with a five-star hotel chain was all
set to go to Switzerland for a high-profile posting. On a visit to a Madurai
temple, he came across a homeless, old man eating his own human waste. That
stark sight changed Krishnan's life.
Much to the dismay of his parents, Krishnan abandoned his career plans and
decided to spend his life and his professional training in looking after those
who could not care for themselves. He has provided more than 1.2 million hot
meals through his nonprofit organisation Akshaya Trust, and now hopes to extend
this to shelter for the homeless too.
Krishnan is the only Indian in a list of 10 heroes that CNN has picked
worldwide to honour. One of them will be chosen CNN Hero of the Year, selected
by the public through an online poll. If many Indians get together to vote for
this inspiring man, he can win by a long mile.
If Krishnan wins he will get $100,000 in addition to the $25,000 that he gets
for being shortlisted for the Top 10. Akshaya Trust needs all the monetary
support it can get to build on Krishnan's dream. Let's help him get there.
Vote for Krishnan here.
We are crawling the Web for more great videos, tweets pictures, blogs and
people that just must be showcased. If you spot some that make you stop and
stare, send
them in here. We'll be happy to credit it to your spidery efforts on the
WWW.
Viewers can go to CNNHeroes.com to participate in the poll, which continues
through November 18 at 6 a.m. ET.
