Harry Potter

I thought it'll be fun to write about a fictional character who is inspiring. Which character is better than Harry Potter, who captured imaginations of millions of kids and adults alike, for this purpose. I am a huge fan of Harry Potter books and films.Actually I am not that big a fan as I saw many people wasting lots of dough on HP merchandise and I am not one of them.


Anyway, coming to the point, what is it that I find inspiring about Harry Potter. For starters I think he is a wizard,he is the best quidditch player and he goes to coolest school. Enough of the obvious, let us talk about the qualities that are inspiring. As all of you know the whole Harry Potter series plot can be summarized as evil vs good where Voldemort symbolizes the evil while Harry Potter does the honours for the good-team. So Harry Potter is a good hearted dude. What else,hmm.... he values friendship. He risks his life like n number of times to save the ass of Ron and Hermonie.


Yeah, I forgot to mention about how brave he is. This fellow tries to take somebody much powerful than him heads-on (some may consider this foolish). He doesn't shy away from stepping up when the situation demands. He is also a great student,which can be seen from his relation with Dumbledore and a kind hearted dude evident from his interaction with Dobby.


Actually if I keep on listing all the things I like about Harry Potter it'll be a really long post. So let me put it this way, I like how he is a vulnerable boy like all of us, but steps up when necessary and saves the day. If at all you feel you got thrust-ed into situations beyond your reach,Harry Potter should be the one you think off.

Gandhi - The Genius

    There is no need to give an introduction about Mahatma Gandhi . Recently I got into a discussion with few of my friends who feel that Gandhi is given undue importance in Indian history / Freedom movement. I strongly disagree with that opinion and this post is my attempt to further my case. Seriously, non-cooperation movement is one of the most game changing idea of the century . After getting their adrenaline pumped by watching a couple of Bollywood movies on Bhagath Singh or reading about Subhash Chandra Bose some juveniles think that Gandhi is responsible for delay in India getting Independence. On the contrary if everybody co-operated in the non-cooperation movement of Gandhiji we would have got independence 25 years earlier. Just think about the idea - nobody working for government, how will the government run. Britishers would never have enough troups to cope up with the work . It is really a simple idea in which everybody can participate without shedding any bloo

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.

MJ - King of Pop

King Of Pop For me Michael Jackson is synonymous to dance. In my previous posts I have listed some qualities of people as inspiring, but then I don't find MJ's personal life that inspiring. You may then wonder why I am listing him in my list of inspirational people. It's because his dance inspires me and millions of dance lovers all over the world. He is a phenomenal singer and the best entertainer too, but when it comes to dance - he is surreal. Some of the best dancers in India like Prabhu Deva and Chiranjeevi (several more) have been heavily inspired by his dance. Whenever I watch the videos of Smooth Criminal or Bad I feel that the music is beating to his dance rather than he dancing to the music.               I can't get enough of MJ's dance even after watching this hundreds of times.
