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.

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...

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...

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...
