#Dost Hero

 Today Dhanashree Gruh Udyog gave me a chance to write an article about the Hero in my Dost.The story started in the 3rd week of March. Lock-down was declared and all of us were busy checking grocery in our homes. Hurriedly we wanted to refill the Dabbas and Jars in our home with grocery before the shops closed down. At that time, there were some people who could think beyond their own homes and their kin.

Mrs Sukanya Narasimhan and Mr Ganpati Narasimhan were such souls who thought about security guards, sweepers and cleaners and even the TMC ghantagadi workers in Vrundavan society, Thane. All the restaurants and shops were closed. Where would all these people drink tea and have their breakfast, thought the Narsimhan couple.

So Mr. and Mrs. Narasimhan started preparing breakfast in their home and distributing it to all these people. Initially in March the number was around 35 but it gradually went on increasing. This venture of distributing breakfast went on till the 3rd week of July. At that time, the number of people receiving the breakfast went up to 75!

Can you imagine when we were boggled by the volume of work in our home which was about for 4 people, Mr. and Mrs. Narasimhan were running a kitchen preparing breakfast for 75 people, that too everyday.

Soon this news spread in the society. I would love to quote Mr. Narsimhan’s words,” Though community spread is bad in Corona, this community spread of the news was for good cause!” Some people came forward for helping in distribution like Mr. Prasad Natu, Mr. and Mrs Sudha Krushnan, Mr. and Mrs Lakshmi Harish who helped regularly.

Some people like Lakshmi Harish, Sudha Krishnan, Jyotsna Nijsure, Shekdar, Dadape, Venkatraman, Anil Gupta, Anathkrishnan, Patade, HP Chankak, Prasad Natu, Adv. Mudholkar, Deepak Kulkarni, Sujay Paranjape sponsored the breakfast on some days. But on the other days, which was more than 3 months, Mr and Mrs Narsimhan prepared breakfast everyday and distributed it to the sweepers, cleaners and security guards. 

I am proud to have friends like Mrs. and Mr. Narsimhan and feature them for Dhanashree Gruh Udyog’s Dost Hero! May there be many people like them in society!
