Manu, this young boy in Snehabhavan is identified easily from the crowd with a unique identification on his hair that looks like a white patch. Studying in 7th standard in St. Thomas UP School, this half Malayali and half Gujarati boy is enthusiastic in his own ways. His twin-brother Anu is also with him in Snehabhavan. Even though they look alike, this similarity does not match when it comes to fighting each other. “This is one of the main reason why we are here in Snehabhavan”, Manu says. Their mother's house is in Thrissur, Kerala. So they go often to visit their relatives there. His mother stays in the house where she is working as a maid. He engages himself in playing football with other mates during his leisure time in Snehabhavan. He also enjoys reading story books. Aiming to study well, he wants to be a proud soldier of our country. This desire was born out not just because that he watched any inspiring movies, but it was formed in naturally.
