Madurai, India: Thousands or millions of businesses in India have been affected massively by the coronavirus pandemic. Millions of people have lost their jobs and more people are getting fired day by day, but that has not stopped a tea seller in Tamil Nadu.
It is usually said that a poor man understands what it’s like to have nothing to eat at night, so he/she is the first one that would help someone who is going through the same thing.
A man from Madurai, Tamil Nadu, is making headlines all over India after it was reported that he was using his salary to feed the homeless during this coronavirus pandemic.
Tamilarasan, a tea seller in Alanganallur, Madurai, spends a small part of his earnings to feed the poor and homeless people during tough times.
He said:
I sell tea on a bicycle every morning and evening in the surrounding villages of Alankanallur, Mettupatti and Pudupatti from which I get decent daily income. Whenever I sell tea, I give free to the poor and needy who flock at the roadside and near the temple gates. I also reserve a portion of my income which goes solely into feeding them thrice a day.
When asked about his plans, Tamilarasan said that he wanted to set up his own shop in the region so he could help people.
Not all heroes wear capes, some work hard and sell teas.
Thank you Tamilarasan, you sir are an inspiration.
