“What is the ultimate purpose of life? To give.”
Narayanan Krishnan is one such person. His story is the most powerful story that I have heard in a long time. He seems to me, to be a male counterpart to Mother Teresa.
I love this story. I love that he is a common person who saw a need. I love that he clearly saw how he could help. I love the courage he had to change his course.
