Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa the 'Angel
of Mercy' dedicated herself to the service of mankind and served god amongst
the poorest of the poor, sick and the dying for more than 50 years of her life She was a nun, in Darjeeling.
She left the convent, took basic training in nursing and went to live in the
nearby slum. She wore an inexpensive and simple white sari with a blue border,
which became the most recognized symbol of the Sisters of Charity.
Her
first home was 'Nirmal Hriday' (pure
heart) for the sick and the dying, and then ' ‘Shishu Bhavan’ for the disabled,
orphaned and mentally retarded children, 'Shanti Nagar', a colony for
lepers where they were cared for, they could learn a skill, build their own
houses and could work on their own fields, AIDS hospices and so on. The first
home outside India was founded in 1965 in Venezuela. Others were later opened in
Italy, Tanzania, Australia, US,
Communist Cuba, former Soviet Union etc.
Mother Teresa became an Indian citizen in 1962. She has received many national and
international awards in recognition of her noble work for humanity. The first
award being Padmashri for distinguished service (1962), Jawaharlal Nehru Award
for International peace (1972), Nobel Peace Prize (1979), Bharat Ratna
(1980), Rajiv Gandhi Sadbhavana Award (1993) etc. were some of
them.
In
1983, at the age of 72, Mother was diagnosed with a serious heart condition and
her health steadily worsened. In 1990, Mother had decided to step down as
the head due to her failing
health. In 1991 she underwent heart surgery and in March 1997, Sister Nirmala a
former Hindu converted to Roman Catholic was elected to succeed Mother Teresa
as leader of Missionaries of Charity. On September 5, 1997 the 87-year old
mother died of severe cardiac arrest at the Missionaries of Charity
headquarters in Kolkata.
The
late mother taught the world the beauty in giving and left behind an enormous
organization with the will to continue her work. Henceforth the mother will be referred to as The Blessed Teresa of Kolkata.

Sushmita
I like her as an actress in the movie “Mai Hoon Na” who rebranded the chiffon
sari as a sexy outfit and bikini tops as a sari tops, she looks too hot.
The song "Tumhe
jo maine dekha " the polka dots sari has become the latest craze among women, she made sari look glamour.
on the
personal front, Sushmita likes instrumental music, writes poetry and columns
for newspapers and is fond of children.
I simply admire her more because she has
adopted two baby girls. This brilliant, down to earth personality remains a
much sought after women even years after she won the Miss Universe title and
has proved that she has much more in her than just beauty.
