Came across his wonderful website from Chakkarapani’s Post.

“…It is a site run by a one-man-army - a 63 year old Shri D V Sridharan, whose mission is to show-case the heroic efforts of thousands of little known men, women and institutions, while skirting celebrities, politicians and publicity-hunters….” [Chakkarapani]
