Hats off to her confidence. Age is not a Bar to  do what a person thinks to do.

She is indeed a special creation of God. Just imagine she has lived her life entirely on tea and biscuit and oranges during its season. I wonder how one can live on so little food but have enormous energy to carry on her social services.

 The fact that Aruna Mukherjee  has been living on arrowroot biscuits and Tea besides seasonal oranges is something amazing. She attributes her energy to citrus fruits,

What a determination. What a dedication !!!. This lady is beyond any words.

There are many common people who go out of their way to help others and the society without expecting anything. I know of a farmer living in a place called Kenjar , which is close to the Mangalore International Airport, who feeds several hundred people every year after the cultivation of the first crop, regardless of religion and caste..he grows just enough to sustain his family and what little extra he grows he likes to distribute to others. Of course no media has covered this but locally he is well respected because, he helps in anyway he can when there is a calamity..

This great man is doing all these for publicity, he is doing for his satisfication.

In my own family, a distant relative has set an example for others.. A graduate. But he was unemployed. He organizes free  tutions for the children in the nearby slums. And goes to the court and helps in writing Court related documents for the poor and uneducated for free.  Seeing his efforts, he received several awards from some NGOs and the Local Business community.. The good thing about him is he never complains. Definitely he is leading a contented life

It's so nice to learn about such praiseworthy people who are living around us. The saddest part is, we all appreciate but hardly follow their path. At least we can try a bit to be of some help to others but that mentality is usually missing.     

No. the  mentality is not missing. It's a wrong belief that all men are dictators when it comes women freedom.

Who talked about women freedom? Why do you always try to change the track of a discussion? By saying that the mentality is missing I meant that we hardly come out to help others. We read such stories and appreciate them but shy away from sacrifice. To become like the above mentioned personalities is usually difficult for most of the people but at least we can extend our helping hand to someone so that we can improve at least one person's live. This whole intention of my writing was given a woman lib platform which is meaningless.

I know, you expressed your opinion but it makes no sense rather I must say it's not applicable here. In life we make blunders but it is always good to accept the blunder one makes after it is pointed out. Still, it's your wish. 

If there is a mistake on my part. I magnanimously agree.  Several members when they pointed my mistagreed admitted my mistake. But, in this process, if member attacks me personally, I'm the last one to tolerate. Thank you.

If you go through the posts you will find that I have not made any personal attack so it will be better if you don't attempt to threat. Thanks a lot.

Its not about any person in particular. It's a general comment. It applies to all those bulldozers.

No point in breaking ones head against a brick wall ,like I said before most threads on this forum become a circus because of one members self centered  nature , stubbornness and rigidity  ..

Coming back to  the topic , I would like to write about a teacher from my school. He is a post graduate in Sanskrit , comes from a middle class background ,lives in a village which has no road access.He and his two children who also study in the same school, have to walk two kms , through the fields to reach the bus stop . They have to walk another km from the bus stop to reach the school or else take an auto.But with all this he makes it a point to bring some field grown vegetables from his village to all the staff every year after the harvest .The father and the little ones carry the bags on their head, load it on to the bus and bring it. Added to that he is a very genuine and humble person who is every ready to help others . It is the presence of such people that make us feel that life is indeed worth living 

I'm pf the opinion, barring a few places, Education has become a Business in the country. Besides urban areas, even in the rural areas  teachers link the performance of a student.   If the student studies Tuition with the class teacher, he will be given top ranks. Otherwise  not. It happened in my case.  Not all teachers are Ideal Teachers. Gone are the days of Sarvepalli RadhaKrishnan who is still held in high esteem. The Country needs such Teachers.
