Arumugam, a masonry from Sambhar village of Rameswaram learned Silambam,
Indian martial arts 30 years ago. In this Covid-19 lockdown, he didn't
have so much vacancy for the work as masonry. He saw that the children
were staying in their homes whole day sticking their heads in TV, mobile
phones. He felt that this is very unhealthy for this generation and if
this was let like this then it will continue towards the generations
hereafter. So he decided that it will be good to teach them the Silambam
he learned 30 years ago. So he convinced the parents of 4 children to
teach them for their future and health. He started with the four
children and when the other parents saw this and got to know about this,
they also made their own children to join him and learn the Silambam.
Now he have 150+ students under him over two month periods and still
going on. We might think he has earned a lot by teaching this. But it
will be surprising to know that he didn't charged even a rupee for it.
He is teaching them in day and in the every time he gets from his masonry
work to make them learn something new. All it takes a good heart and
little desire to do something great like this.
