i was at a seminar yesterday where this man spoke alongside the likes of Infosys Chairman.

he spoke the least and made the most impression!! the question that was asked first to him was whether his wife and mom came back to him. Im very glad to say that he is reunited with his family after the IIT innovation challenge thing

This really inspiring. Just watch any TV channel for 30 minutes..and you will come across at least three minutes of advt. of sanitary napkins.... BUT I HAVE ONE SUGGESTION..I THINK IT IS TIIME TO GO BACK TO RE-USABLE CLOTH PADS...Used sanitary napkins area huge problem for solid waste management.. World over people are turning to re-usable cloth pads..So I think Mr. Muruganantham will do some research on this..

Dear Global Friends,

If this person really thinks and works for the benefits of all people without greediness and selfishness, then he is a true moral person, a man to be respected and honoured.

May God bless him for his loving-kindness and contentment.

This a good moral example for the world people to follow.

Thank you for the sharing. Love to all beings.

It only takes a man/women to think & realize how they can change things for the betteremen of every single human being.This man is not greedy he has shown that being simple in life & for the love for human beings,there can be a change!!!

God bless you sir,we need more human beings in this world to think rather then killing each other over trivial things..

The most inspiring talks ever!!

[Mukkodan]

Amazing that he chose to give-away the machines instead of going for mass production and making millions. Hats Off. Hope & Pray Mega MNCs wont buy him off or silence him.

There are many instances that an ex-BPL and first-gen Businessmen give it back as much to the society than say someone born with a silver-spoon
