Meet octogenarian Kalyanasundaram; he is a retired librarian of a college at Srivaikundam in Thoothukudi district of Tamilnadu. All through his life, he has donated his entire earnings for the welfare of children.

Last week, he was in the news again: filmmaker Taran Adarsh proposed to make a biopic on Kalyanasundaram; reports say that Amitabh Bachchan will be doing the elder Kalyanasundaram role and Amitabh’s son will be doing the role of younger Kalyanasundaram. The tireless Donor was a guest at Tamil actor Rajinikanth’s household for some time; that part of the life of Kalyanasundaram also will be covered in the proposed biopic, according to reports.

Because of the Vaishnavite background of Akshaya Patra, neither garlic nor onion will form part of the breakfast that it serves. Casteist and separatist elements tried to spread the canard that search breakfast will harm the vitality of children over a period. The state government was quick scotch the rumour and the State Governor Banwari Lal Purohit sanctioned Rs. 5 crore for the breakfast project.
