Narayanan Krishnan (born 1981 in Madurai, Tamil Nadu) is an Indian chef-turned-social worker.[1]b aguanten las putas zorras 096783527 fb la mas puta.com
Early life
Krishnan was an award-winning chef with Taj Hotels, Bangalore and was short-listed for an elite job in Switzerland. After witnessing a distressing incident in 2002, he quit his job and began feeding the homeless and mentally disabled in his hometown. He said, "I saw a very old man, literally eating his own human waste out of hunger. I went to the nearby hotel and asked them what was available. They had idli, which I bought and gave to the old man. Believe me, I had never seen a person eating so fast, ever. As he ate the food, his eyes were filled with tears. Those were the tears of happiness."[2][3]
Career
Krishnan founded the Akshaya Trust organization in 2003, which helps to feed the homeless and mentally-disabled in Madurai, Tamil Nadu. He serves breakfast, lunch and dinner to 425 indigent and elderly people in Madurai.[4][5]
He also provides haircuts and shaves to give dignity to those he serves. He was selected as one of the Top 10 in "CNN heroes 2010" list.[6][7][8]
The character Narayanan Krishnan played by Jayaprakash in the 2012 Malayalam film Ustad Hotel is based on him.[9]
Controversy
In June 2014 a 23-year-old inmate who escaped from the Akshaya Trust home alleged that she was sexually abused. The news was featured in the media.[10] Although the Akshaya Trust home was exonerated by the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court.[11] it was asked to submit regular monthly reports since lot of human rights abuses have been reported from the home.[1]
