This guy is a real hero.

 

Hats off to him Forward it to as much as people as you can

 

 

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 organization 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 honor. 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.

 

To vote, follow the link: http://heroes.cnn.com/vote.aspx

 

 

We are crawling the Web for more great videos, tweets pictures, blogs

and people that just must be showcased.

 

You can go to CNNHeroes.com to participate in the poll, which continues

through November 18 at 6 a.m. ET.
