Small Town Hero

India underwent a revolution led by its favorite sports cricket. Talented youngsters from small towns and villages made it to National team which earlier was reserved only for players from big cities.

This revolution led to same story in many different sectors, people seriously started believing that if MS Dhoni who was a railway ticket conductor from small town Ranchi can make to become India Team Captain, why can't I?

India is blessed with having majority of its population in mid twenty's, age where in you believe you can change and rule the world. Britishers also did some good before leaving; making sure everyone is educated in English. Indian Youth with their English skills find it easier to get jobs compared to their western counterparts.

2015 & 2016 have been remarkable years for India with so many firsts, Narendra Modi who once was working in a Tea stall is prime minister of the country, IT Giants like Microsoft. Google and Adobe are headed by Indian CEO and Virat Kohli's boys have shown the stuff champions are made of.

After inspiring so many youngsters MS Dhoni has given up captaincy thus giving an important leadership lesson to generations to follow that you should know when to quit, position is not forever but foundation you laid stays for eternity.

Will India now go back to country of only big cities or these leaders have changed the country forever, next couple of decades will tell a lot about India's place in the world!!!

Founding Fathers !!!!

One fine day I was wondering how much rich I should be to enjoy the best luxuries in the world like having a home in Santa Monica or Palm Beach, driving a Ferrari and able to dine in world's most expensive restaurants. Then something in me reminded is that what you want truly or you want to be able to be in a position where in you can improve the life of at least 10 people, a thought shared by my Founding Fathers!

We all are brought up with different values, ideologies, habits and in experience different life styles. For some food is served in silver spoon, others make it through a day with just one course of proper meal. Some dress in Armani, some in grandmother’s woven clothes and some are not fortunate to have any proper clothes. Though in all the cases their fathers want the best for kids, be sheltered, believing that when grown up their kids would take care of them.

We all work towards building better societies through working for companies, paying taxes to government, defending our country by working for armed forces or motivating generations by representing country or team in sports. Though we still can’t see how does other's contributions help you.

Founding fathers of great countries have laid solid foundations, be it George Washington and Franklin D. Roosevelt for USA or Lal Bahadur Shastri and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel for India and so many other great leaders for all great civilizations. They would have really been very disheartened to see how non-united today's societies are, this is not what they wished in providing nations freedom.

Nation's should be united for them to prosper, societies should be successful communities solving local issues and people should be hard working to have happy and successful families. Unfortunately, we follow the reverse approach, myself first and nation last. 

Founding fathers wanted united civilization not just for trade but for societies to keep evolving and if the day comes when we do find life on some other planet, we can send a strong message that Every Earthling has an equal role in society doing something which he wishes and his capable of.

Good Values do not just come from parents, but from teachers, friends, peers, family and every one person you interact in society. Next time some negative thing / thought happens to you remember the vision my founding fathers shared " You need to be in a position where in you can help at least 10 people, and ask yourself staying down would it help achieving it, never !!! Keep rising, till you cannot see horizon anymore, just a flat and equal society”!!!!!
