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.

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. H...

Shah Rukh Khan

Well well well, Shahrukh Khan is my favourite actor/entertainer. So it is difficult to leave him out of the list of inspiring people. This guy with unconventional looks has entered bollywood with no family connections and became the Baadshah of Bollywood. He made even negative roles look cool in 'Baazigar ' and ' Darr '. Even today, more than 18 years after ' Darr ' released, people say 'K....K....K...Kiran' to imitate SRK. He revolutionized bollywood romance through his portrayal of Raj in ' Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge '. He did not shy away from doing experimental films like ' Asoka ', ' Swadesh ',' Chak de India ' etc. He also set the trend of stars endorsing products. He doesn't shy away from trying to fill Big B's shoes either in the film ' Don ' or the TV show 'KBC'. He knows he is popular and doesn't show false humility. He is arrogant, but it justifiable since he is a self m...
