Emma Watson

Emma Watson - whenever I see her picture or hear about her the first thing that comes to my mind is that she is beauty with brains. She is somebody who has balanced her acting career and studies well. She is an A+ student (she has 8 A*'s and 2 A's in GCSE examinations). It is very rare to see teenagers who tasted instant fame and became part of glitz world to focus on studies. But Emma turned out be somebody who cares for her education just like her onscreen character Hermoine. I also see really intelligent posts on her facebook wall. I really hope that it is she who is posting them and not some PR people hired by her. I wish her all the best and take her as inspiration to not get distracted from my goal.

Narendra Modi

The journey from being tea seller to being elected as Prime Minister of the largest democracy seems like a movie story with a fairy tale ending. This journey itself is quite inspiring. Many articles have been written about this journey. But I am not going to write about this inspirational journey in this post. I want to write about Indian Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi's inspirational initiative of talking to the nation via "Mann ki Baat". Shri Narendra Modi is an inspirational figure for millions of Indians and has immense immense influence over the psyche of people. His charismatic personality has resulted in millions of Indians following him blindly. This has helped him not only win general election, but also helped BJP win state elections and surprisingly even municipal elections. After being elected as Prime Minister, our Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has wanted to use his status as public influencer for inspiring people. He started speaking about...

Rahul David - the coach

This is not about Rahul Dravid - the player, but Rahul Dravid - the coach. After his retirement I assumed he would be a commentator or get into cricket administration like Dada Sourav Ganguly, but he has surprised me by becoming a coach. And that too for under 19 team. It is a tribute to his work ethic that he has not taken the role of coach just for name sake, but has truly built the under 19 team from scratch and guided them to U-19 world cup. Rahul Dravid used to go to empty fields where under 19 players used to play, so as to pick the 30+ probables. Apart from giving technical inputs, he has imparted life lessons to these youngsters. Under 19 cricket is a completely different challenge as even parents tend to get involved. Rahul Dravid took the task of engaging with parents too. Anyway, the takeaway, the thing that I want you to take away is the work ethic that Dravid has displayed. He did not take a job that was easy for him. He took up a job which gave him satisfaction.

Tesla - The Mad Scientist

After reading a link http://theoatmeal.com/comics/tesla sent by one of my friend I read about Nikola Tesla (source is wikipedia obviously). Man oh man if somebody has to epitomize knowledge for knowledge's sake, it has to be Nikola Tesla. He apparently spent all the money earned in patenting in more research. He is so much into experimenting that people refer to him as mad scientist (made popular by science fiction). I guess he is god among geeks. He showed that college degree isn't a measure of your intelligence (yeah he is a college dropout). The most endearing quality of him that I find inspiring is that he is not one for money or recognition (apparently he has number of inventions that haven't been patented). P.S. He is the second Serb after Djokovic to make my inspirational people list.
