PHANTOM AND TARZAN INSPIRED US MOINUDDIN

  

US MOINUDDIN "GURU OF MOTIVATION"

 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 received the best school management award for the year 2011-12.

PHANTOM THE GHOST WHO WALKS

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.

TARZAN THE LORD OF THE JUNGLE

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.
