Dear Sir I am very much impressed with the life path of Mr. Chandra. the reason being I am also in the same situation i.e. NO MONEY - only - BIG DREAMS! I know & am sure, I am going to get there & convert it in to reality. Last but not the least, thanks to Rediff for publishing this beautiful article.
It's vary nice artical. After gatting so many gatting nagatatives of bomb-blast there should be something insprable articals to the young generation. The sucesses story of K.B.Chandrasekhar will give us good insprecatioin to do some indepandently.
Your story is very inspirational expecially for all budding entrepreneurs.
I really liked the way you said:
/** I was not doing it as charity because I don\\\'t believe in charity for charity\\\'s sake. **/
You are absolutely right that not all problems can be solved through charity ! your work for rural india and your alma mater is highly commendable. Hope the younger generation get inspired by people like you, Kanwal Rekhi etc
Chandra is one of the rare Indians who did miracle. But it is always limted to a few Indians. Every century produces a few "Avataras" in this country. We worship them.That is all! The education system and other related mechanisms,however,do not learn a lesson from such "Avataras". What is most needed that the education system must have clearcut objectives. Strictly adhere to the mechanism so designed. Keep aside personal/group iterests. Is it not miserable a country of 110 crore population can neither turn 11 members world-class foot ball team nor a single noble winner. We must set national policy. Give equal importance to all faculty,may be science, arts, humanities. The present trend is togo for engineering,medicalor MBA.The reason is high pay package. Can be a national goal? Chandra and likes must force politicians and Indian intellectuals to do something in the national interests.
From this message we can understand that a man without a dollar once, now is adding lots and lots of feathers to his "ROYAL CAP"... "i too have a big dream..." BADRI
