There are so many people doing good in the world, it is a pleasure to read about them.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly inspired me... I wonder how one would go about helping Ms. Shenoy in her very worthy endeavour.
ReplyDeleteThe world would be a different place if everyone followed Gandhi's suggestion. Thank God for those who do. Wonderful post! Appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteThat is an interesting house, great things can happen indeed
ReplyDeletetI used that Gandhi quote recently too.
ReplyDeleteNot sure I'd like to live in a bridge house.
Thanks for the post. Enjoy your weekend.
It is always inspiring to see what people can do to help others. The world, for all its bad things, does have a lot of good in it, doesn't it?

It really is nice to be reminded of the inspiring things going on in this troubled world. Gandhi has always been one of my superheroes. And I so admire DiCaprio for not for just being a good-looking movie star but becoming a person of depth that makes a difference. My husband is from India, and there are so many vulnerable communities that need addressing. Kudos to Meerah Shanoy for her work
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for being a positively inspiring force!

Thank you for sharing these. It's always inspiring to know of people doing good deeds in the world.
ReplyDeleteWe definitely need to hear more good news but unfortunately it's the bad news that makes the headlines. How about for every bad news story the media should find two good stories to share. There wouldn't be enough paper to print the stories on, or time on the news shows to get it all in.
ReplyDeletewow!very inspiring. The quote up there is something i live my life by.You need to be the change you want to see. The world will be a much better place if everyone lived by this principle!
ReplyDeletePlease read about baffour here--->
