Rainbow Village: 96-Yr-Old
Former Soldier Paints His Entire Village To Save It From Demolition By Govt
There was a time when former soldier Huang Yung-fu’s quaint, little
village at the edge of Nantun district in Taiwan, bustled with life. Over 1,200
households, mostly comprising military veterans, lived like a large single
family. As years rolled, the elders passed away, one after another, while the
younger generation migrated out.
Towards the end of the 20th century, the Taiwanese government embarked
on a drive to demolish the withering and dilapidated settlements in Nantun,
once constructed hastily to accommodate the military families. Urban developers
stepped into the scene, eyeing the area to construct deluxe housing estates and
skyscrapers. Residents were offered hefty compensation of up to $61,000.

When Kranti Ben migrated to Ahmedabad from her village in search of work, she brought along little of her belongings, unaware how the big city would greet her. She was adept in sewing craft, so she was looking for work as a tailor. However, her skills and experience alone failed to secure her employment for one small reason. She had no identity documents with her.

Son’s Rejection From 42 Schools Made This Mom Start a ‘Home’ For Special Kids
“I was pregnant with my daughter, when my son was diagnosed with ADHD. For the next four years or so, no doctor even mentioned the possibility of Autism, so when I heard this, it shattered me. I remember crying uncontrollably for the next few days, but I was not ready to let that fail me. Instead, I was stubborn and changed my problems into my strength! And my daughter, Prerna was instrumental in this,” she shares.
Living in an Orphanage at 5, IAS Officer at 47: Kollam Collector’s Inspiring Story
“I would sneak out from the orphanage and travel some 30-40 kilometres to Kannur. Here getting jobs in hotels and restaurants was easy for a young boy like me,” says the IAS officer who also worked in STD booths and as a delivery boy.
A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, when two of them fell into a deep pit. All the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep it was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all of their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. She fell down and died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as she could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at her to stop the pain and just die. She began jumping even harder and finally made it out. When she got out, the other frogs said, “Did you not hear us?” The frog explained to them that she was deaf – she thought they were encouraging her to jump out of the hole the entire time.
Interpretation: Our mind is very powerful. If we think we can, we indeed can do most things and vice – versa for if we think we can’t, we cannot. So, we need to keep motivating ourselves by telling ourselves we can indeed succeed.
I am an author, writer and a trainer in spoken and written English.
My journey of stepping into writing began I realized that there are many ideas I wished to convey to all without sounding judgmental or patronizing. Writing then became my passion as I was able to do all of this quite effectively. This connected me with a variety of people who shared their journeys with me. In the midst of all this, I was diagnosed and recovered from multiple sclerosis that also got published as a book. I am certain that my recovery was possible not just because of the techniques that I used, most of which was alternative healing techniques but also because I used the approach of body, mind and spirit healing, where the spirit gives us faith, mind gives us positivity and the body follows the instructions that it receives. I have been the Asst Editor of Life Positive magazine and trained people, both children and adults in spoken and written English. All through my journey, I have realized how powerful writing is to convey messages of who we are. Now, six books of mine have been published. These comprise of two books for children; a collection of short stories on religion and an adventure story published by Rupa & Co. A book of Teaching Stories published by Life Positive in 2008. More Teaching Stories published in 2011, Elixir for Zylake, a childrens’ book published by Life Positive in December 2013 and Dancing with Life published by Hay House in 2015. I have also self-published a novel on Kindle recently. The novel is all about the quest of identity interwoven in the loves and lives of three generations of people in India and Afghanistan. The story conveys the emotions of people in the pre-independence era when Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan and Mahatma Gandhi were pretty active in spreading their message of non-violence. It shows how common people were affected both by physical violence and non-inclusion in their own land. Some pre-Independence violence and disharmony is conveyed while even the current terrorism and intolerance is brought out with the end ending on a note of hope and love. The primary message that the novel seeks to convey is the commonality of all people and their emotions and a search that all of us have for our own roots and identity. The novel ultimately brings out the fact that humanity is indeed one and our identity, no matter what the origin may be, is one of oneness, unity and love. For, we all are indeed from the same source, whatever we may call it.am an author, writer and a trainer in spoken and written English.
