Yesterday evening, I attended the Samanvaya Freedom Lecture in Mylapore, Chennai.

Mr. J. Prabhakaran of the Nallor Vattam (Circle of the good) spoke about his experiences in meeting nearly 300 people/institutions all over TamilNadu serving society in silent, unobtrusive but outstanding ways.

There were less than 100 people in the hall, but everyone without exception was moved and thrilled by the experiences and stories that Mr. Prabhakaran recounted. It was an inspiring lecture and I have no doubt that those who attended went back determined to serve society in their own small ways.

For my part, I offered that Civic Craft, my fledgling consultancy for the social sector, would do the Nallor Vattam web site voluntarily. It will feature the stories of these outstanding men and women. Stay tuned.
