US Moinuddin, a civil
engineer from Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, who followed his passion
and became an Author, Educationist, Motivational Speaker and Environmentalist,
is considered as the 'Guru of Motivation' for his constantly encouraging habit
and also as a man with multiple talents. But when people call him talented he
smiles and says, “Talent is nothing but hard work that has taken place over the
years.” US Moinuddin used to exhibit thoughts
that were much matured for a child of his age during his childhood. In his college days he was associated
with a human rights organization, during this time he developed a keen interest
in learning about the problems people faced during their day- to-day life, at
the same time he had a strong obsession towards trees and plants. From that
time he began planting saplings in Bangalore South. In 2001 he established Magnifique
English School
in Minhajnagar, JHBCS Layout to provide value based education to the students of
the area and surrounding areas, and subsequently in 2005 he established Magnifique Public School on Kanakapura Main Road, opposite to Art of
Living. He even established Dreams
foundation to train people to achieve successful results in life. Recently, Moinuddin

As the days passed US
Moinuddin began to feel that his thoughts should reach people and he wrote his
first book Dreams, Action and Success,
this book became an instant success and thousands of copies were sold. Dreams,
Action and Success, continue to inspire the young and the old. Subsequently, he wrote another book Great Thoughts which became very
popular. These books are also getting translated in other languages. At present
he is also working on his new book Revelations
from a Cave which is nearing completion. Book lovers are waiting for this
book with lots of curiosity. US
Moinuddin says, “When I was a child my father Hazrat N. Syed Umar, introduced
me to the world of comics; reading Phantom and Tarzan comics became an
obsession. This helped me to develop my imagination, writing skills and a love
for Trees and Jungles developed.” Out of his sheer passion for nature he has
even created a forest in the Magnifique
Public School campus
which consists of a pond surrounded by huge bamboo trees, Jamoon, Matti and
other varieties of trees. This vegetation is also attracting a large variety of
birds. He has planted over 22,000 saplings in the Magnifique campus and the
surrounding areas of Kanakapura
Road, Kumaraswamy layout, JP Nagar and
Banashankari.

From many years US Moinuddin
has conducted environment awareness programmes, distributed free saplings
across many venues and he himself has planted thousands of saplings. He noticed
that the temperature across the globe is rising and the water table in many
regions is depleting, he started a movement One Tree by One Person which is
attracting thousands of people every day. He meets people in offices, students
in schools and colleges, housewives encouraging them to support his movement.
His common message is, “If every Indian plant a sapling each we shall have 122
crore trees in addition to the ones those exist. If people across the world
plant a sapling each we can have over 700 crore trees in addition to the ones that already exist.”This movement is also inspiring people in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nigeria and Thailand
When there is a shortage of
space in a city like Bangalore, how does one plant so many trees, to which
Moinuddin says, “Where there is more space you can plant Rain trees, Matti,
Gulmohar and other big trees, where there is less space you can plant Silver
Oak, Honge and other small and medium size trees.” In 2002 he had even
established a local newspaper called Magnifique Times; now this is soon going
to get relaunched as an online newspaper.
US Moinuddin continues his
journey writing books, inspiring the people and saving the environment.
