Who shd be a World leader among these 3?

Mr.A - He had friendship with bad politicians, consults astrologers, two wives, chain smoker, drinks eight to ten times a day.


Mr.B - He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps till noon, used opium in college & drinks whiskey every evening.


Mr.C - He is a decorated war hero, a vegetarian,doesn't smoke,drinks occasional beer and never cheated on his wife.


Hope you want Mr.C to be the leader correct.


But,

Mr.A is Franklin.D.Roosevelt.

Mr.B is Winston Churchill.

Mr.C is Hitler.






Which means, every one is not bad. We tend to look only the bad part of someone.Try finding good in someone and say that to others, rather than the bad o them. They will try improve that good quality. Life is how we see and take it!

Conversation with Prof. Gautam Saha

Hi, happy to back with a post about my favorite person. This is a mail from my brother,S.Sriram  and his conversation with his Professor. Gautam Saha. Sriram is  currently a Civil Engineering student in IIT Kharagpur. I am proud that we have one IIT from our school. Also i am happy to say, he is the only state board student in IIT with self preparation. The Conversation is in regard with NSS Activity.


Sir, 

I have an idea, that can possibly be implemented for the betterment of the society.

NSS already has a literacy campaign, which gives basic education to children. However, in my opinion, a greater level of formal education to the children might leave a much more positive impact on them. By this I mean, let us take a group of students in say, class 10. We will give them career guidance. Career guidance in the sense that, we help them to understand the concepts taught in class 11 and 12 better. Also, something more. Many people, don't choose the right college or course just because the people in rural areas do not know about the openings available as much as the urban people do. We will tell them about the openings available like say,

--> Preparing for IIT/AIEEE/VIT-EEE/BITSAT and similar colleges

-->Training them for "Merchant Navy", a govt of india organisation, which is high paying but very few know about

-->Educating people that science is not the only way of life. People in humanities group also have many many options

-->People with average marks/grades but with good communicative skills for jobs which will require that skill...

We really don't know what talent is hiding where,sir... I believe, we can explore lots and lots of talents in these children sir. We students, who will move away in two years, can do the teaching work which is easy. But it will be great if the professor in charge, gets to know each of the few children we take care of, know his or her mental attitude, their skills, the professor can guide us in the right direction of what to teach, how to teach etc. 

And I honestly say, this is not my idea. This is not impossible either. Because, i am student, who is now into IIT by the grace of one of the social workers of the kind I mentioned above   sir. I would like to mention about him to you sir, at this point of time.

He, Mr. Somasekharan Nair, is an alumnus of IIT-Kharagpur, from the E&ECE Department. He finished his under-graduation here and did his MBA in IIM Calcutta. He was also the General Manager - Sales and Marketing in Escorts Inc. Now he is over 60 and has retired. He has now come to my home town, "Mettupalayam", in Tamil Nadu. Mettupalayam is a small town just like Kharagpur, and I knew very little about something known as "IIT" before Nair sir came... So now, he himself lives in a house which is as big as two of our hostel rooms put together. He is now teaching English in our school, and he is spending a large part of his earning in paying fees for the children. He also has helped me to get into IIT. He trained me day in and day out for three years. I did not attend any other coaching class. And this sir also refused to get a penny from me. I have now got into IIT purely because of his efforts. Besides me, he has trained one of my friends, who is now in NIT-Trichy. He has also sent many people into this "Merchant Navy". I saw the of happiness in the eyes of a poor father, whose son has now started earning around Rs.80,000 per month, having joined in the Merchant Navy purely because of Nair sir's grace. And all he has asked us in return is, when we have holidays, we will go to his house, and help the children there. So during my summer vacation, all that I was doing was teaching the kids over there, some elementary algebra and Geometry and Physics. 

All of us, who are benefited by him, truly regard him as our God. I will be happy to see a similar activity taking place in and around Kharagpur.

Thank you sir,

Yours sincerely,

Sriram Sankaranarayanan,

Sophomore year,

Department of Civil Engineering,

Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur.

The reply from the Prof. is 

Dear Sriram,

It is truly inspiring. For such people the world is beautiful, we can smell fragrance of love in air. We definitely will work out this idea. For this we need to sit with you and make a plan. We may not have one single highly dedicated individual here. But can we compensate that by more no. of moderately dedicated individuals - professors and students, if they all work together.

I need to sit with you. Also someday we may visit your native place, see the work and gain some experience. We would like to have an NSS meet in near future, may be a one-day workshop/symposium. We would like to invite Sri Nair here. Can you tell which year he graduated from here?

Pls. meet me at your convenience. Le us work out a plan adapted to IITKGP condition. Usually I am available in my office at E&ECE, R.N. R 111, G-Floor, after 5 p.m. I have not seen 'God'. It will be great to see someone who has.

Thanks. With warm wishes to you
Gautam Saha.

               When i read this mail, I got two drops of tears in my Eyes. The reason is know only to me, Sriram can understand because we were with him from the time he came to Mettupalaym. I ( we) are lucky to have such a person as my(our) teacher,mentor. I take this opportunity to thank him, because if  today i am in a good position its because of him. He has helped,is helping and will help the student with good skills and other to inculcate the skills. Sir one day we will make you proud!!!! 

APJ's Letter to Every Indian !!

Why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why? We are the first in milk production. We are number one in Remote sensing satellites. We are the second largest producer of wheat. We are the second largest producer of rice. Look at Dr. Sudarshan , he has transferred the tribal village into a self-sustaining, self-driving unit. There are millions of such achievements but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures and disasters.            I was in Tel Aviv once and I was reading the Israeli newspaper. It was the day after a lot of attacks and bombardments and deaths had taken place. The Hamas had struck. But the front page of the newspaper had the picture of a Jewish gentleman who in five years had transformed his desert into an orchid and a granary. It was this inspiring picture that everyone woke up to. The gory details of killings, bombardments, deaths, were inside in the newspaper, buried among other news.             In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime.. Why are we so NEGATIVE? Another question: Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? We want foreign T.Vs, we want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology.             Why this obsession with everything imported. Do we not realize that self-respect comes with self-reliance? I was in Hyderabad giving this lecture, when a 14 year old girl asked me for my autograph. I asked her what her goal in life is. She replied: I want to live in a developed India . For her, you and I will have to build this developed India . You must proclaim. India is not an under-developed nation; it is a highly developed nation.Do you have 10 minutes? Allow me to come back with a vengeance. Got 10 minutes for your country? If yes, then read; otherwise, choice is yours..YOU say that our government is inefficient. YOU say that our laws are too old. YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage. YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke. The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination. YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits.

YOU say, say and say. What do YOU do about it?

                Take a person on his way to Singapore . Give him a name - 'YOURS'. Give him a face - 'YOURS'. YOU walk out of the airport and you are at your International best. In Singapore you don't throw cigarette butts on the roads or eat in the stores. YOU are as proud of their Underground links as they are.. You pay $5 (approx. Rs. 60) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of Mahim Causeway or Pedder Road) between 5 PM and 8 PM. YOU come back to the parking lot to punch your parking ticket if you have over stayed in a restaurant or a shopping mall irrespective of your status identity… In Singapore you don't say anything, DO YOU? YOU wouldn't dare to eat in public during Ramadan, in Dubai .. YOU would not dare to go out without your head covered in Jeddah.
                YOU would not dare to buy an employee of the telephone exchange in London at 10 pounds (Rs.650) a month to, 'see to it that my STD and ISD calls are billed to someone else.'YOU would not dare to speed beyond 55 mph (88 km/h) in Washington and then tell the traffic cop, 'Jaanta hai main kaun hoon (Do you know who I am?). I am so and so's son. Take your two bucks and get lost.' YOU wouldn't chuck an empty coconut shell anywhere other than the garbage pail on the beaches in Australia and New Zealand ..
                Why don't YOU spit Paan on the streets of Tokyo ? Why don't YOU use examination jockeys or buy fake certificates in Boston ??? We are still talking of the same YOU. YOU who can respect and conform to a foreign system in other countries but cannot in your own. You who will throw papers and cigarettes on the road the moment you touch Indian ground. If you can be an involved and appreciative citizen in an alien country, why cannot you be the same here in India ?

                 In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job. Same in Japan ..
Will the Indian citizen do that here?' He's right. We go to the polls to choose a government and after that forfeit all responsibility.
We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the government to do everything for us whilst our contribution is totally negative. We expect the government to clean up but we are not going to stop chucking garbage all over the place nor are we going to stop to pick a up a stray piece of paper and throw it in the bin. We expect the railways to provide clean bathrooms but we are not going to learn the proper use of bathrooms.
                We want Indian Airlines and Air India to provide the best of food and toiletries but we are not going to stop pilfering at the least opportunity.
                This applies even to the staff who is known not to pass on the service to the public.

                When it comes to burning social issues like those related to women, dowry, girl child! and others, we make loud drawing room protestations and continue to do the reverse at home. Our excuse? 'It's the whole system which has to change, how will it matter if I alone forego my sons' rights to a dowry.' So who's going to change the system?
                What does a system consist of? Very conveniently for us it consists of our neighbours, other households, other cities, other communities and the government. But definitely not me and YOU. When it comes to us actually making a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along with our families into a safe cocoon and look into the distance at countries far away and wait for a Mr.Clean to come along & work miracles for us with a majestic sweep of his hand or we leave the country and run away.
               Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to America to bask in their glory and praise their system. When New York becomes insecure we run to England . When England experiences unemployment, we take the next flight out to the Gulf. When the Gulf is war struck, we demand to be rescued and brought home by the Indian government. Everybody is out to abuse and rape the country. Nobody thinks of feeding the system. Our conscience is mortgaged to money.

               Dear Indians, The article is highly thought inductive, calls for a great deal of introspection and pricks one's conscience too…. I am echoing J. F. Kennedy's words to his fellow Americans to relate to Indians…..

'ASK WHAT WE CAN DO FOR INDIA AND DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO MAKE INDIA WHAT AMERICA AND OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES ARE TODAY'

Lets do what India needs from us.

Thank you,

Dr.. Abdul Kalam
