NARAYANAN KRISHNAN

#ashokasays Did you know 97:
We see lot of people each day, but few of them leave a mark on our life. There are a few Indian who left a mark on the country for which they will be remembered for a long time. Here is some information on one of the Most Awesome and Craziest Indians.


Narayanan Krishnan born in Madurai, Tamil Nadu is an Indian chef-turned-social worker. He was a bright, young, award-winning chef with a five-star hotel group and short-listed for an elite job in Switzerland. One day when he saw a very old man eating his own human waste for food, he said, "It really hurt me so much. I was literally shocked for a second. After that, I started feeding that man and decided this is what I should do the rest of my lifetime". He then left his job and founded his nonprofit Akshaya Trust in 2003. He is now 31 and has served more than 1.2 million meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) to India's homeless and destitute, mostly elderly people abandoned by their families and often abused. He carries a comb, scissors and razor and is trained in eight haircut styles that, along with a fresh shave, provide extra dignity to those he serves. He won CNN Heroes Award out of 100 countries and 10,000 entries, selected in top 2 of the World.
