Today while reading "The Hindu',I was touched by one article which was in their magazine section.It was published under the 'India Beats' section.The story was about one retired headmaster who took upon himself to plant trees and make his village which was arid and hot green and pleasant.This village Selakarichal village near coimbatore was dry and without trees.The headmaster after his retirement called Veluswamy took upon himself to plant tree saplings of different variety and the village is now green and shady.
I wish to do some activity like this too.There is Thimmakka who planted pee pal trees in Karnataka in a village too though I forget the name of the village.When I read about so many useless news about how Bacchan is a brand( Of what use is that?),and read about these lesser known but really impressive people I am glad and my sense of wanting to be useful in some way surfaces again.
Let me see?
Jayamala.
