hungry with leftover wedding food

BANGALORE: One need not be a graduate nor be wealthy to find ways of helping the
disadvantaged.

Neither was RB Shivakumar born with a silver spoon in his mouth, nor has he completed a
university course. Yet he feeds the poor.

Many years ago, Shivakumar, who had failed his SSLC examinations, had started helping his
father who supplies plantain leaves and bananas for marriage halls. On a trip to one such hall,
he saw a vehicle being loaded with leftover food and that is where the idea germinated. I
was shocked to see the quantity of food that was being loaded onto the vehicle. I asked the
people at the marriage hall to give the food to the poor but was told that there was no one to
take up that responsibility.
