“ Kisi cheez ko agar
sache dil se chaho to puri kaynat tumhe usse milane me lag jati hai”
(If you
like something from the bottom of your heart with truth in your intentions,The
whole cosmos starts helping you in realizing that Dream).
This was a dialogue I
had picked up, somewhere in a metro from a colleague or a fellow travaller ,While
Returning one Day from college to my Mayur Vihar residence.The actual realization
of what it meant came a few days back ,when I Read Dr.Kalam’s book “Ignited
Minds”,in which he divulges how the Vision of seeing India As a Major space
power by Dr.Vikram Sarabhai was realized by his fellow scientists and
successors long after, he left for heavenly abode, by Dr.Satish Dhawan and others
at ISRO(The Indian nodal Space Agency- INDIAN SPACE RESEARCH ORGANISATION).
Dr.Vikram Sarabhai,was
one among the long list of National Heroes who came from India’s Scientific
community, a visionary who gave up his entire lifetime raising the self esteem
of a Nation which had just freed itself from the bonds of Slavery .Dreaming of Taking it to Space with the best In the World,Dr Vikram Sarabhai made ISRO out of a Small laboratory he had.
Thus,when a man is so
dedicated to his Vision,Everyone around helps in realizing it even when he
has made his final journey, as It happened with Dr.Sarabhai. A Vision much more
holy is now shared by another national Hero The Missile Man of India-Dr.Kalam,a
vision to Make India a Knowledge super power by 2020.Now This led me to a quest
on why A man responsible for making Missiles and Defence Related Weapon systems of mass destruction under IGMDP(Integrated
Guided Missile Development Programme) talk of making India a knowledge
superpower,rather than a military one.
The Answer is Simple-
India was considered as a JAGADGURU(Teacher of the World).No one knows this
much better than me,Since I was born in the backdrop of where lies a holy
communion of the World's oldest University of Vikramshila (Magadh period) and
the holy river Ganges.With Knowledge everything Else would follow.
So Is it not our
moral,national or patriotic duty to Become that Resouce pool of 'dedicated to
life' professionals who would help Realise Dr.Kalam’s Vision of India just like
Dr.Satish Dhawan and his team of scientists made it their life motto to realize
Dr.Sarabhai;s Space dream?
And Then It made me
think,Why not have a Knowledge cell,why not motivate one another to the
ultimate need of our Existance-of yours and mine
KNOWLEDGE
When we can Have an
E-cell at IILM GSM,we can have a number of clubs dedicated to culture,fine
arts,It,blogging,Finance,Marketing,HR,News,Editorial,why not amalgamate all of
them together and make a KNOWLEGDE CELL.This could be a unique experiment where
we would work in Unison,learn from one another and grow.
I believe There is no
bigger an asset ever made than one of COLLECTIVE KNOWLEDGE.IILM GSM could
become a unique example of being the
first to try this experiment of oneness.But then This is just a dream,a
culmination of my thoughts of many a months now penned into words with an ACER
LAPTOP Shared to you on blogging forums and facebook pages.
The next time you want
to build some self confidence or find a sense of purpose,It comes at a very cheap
price,Please do read
IGNITED MINDS
The book from my very
limited understanding constraint talks about some key things which I
would like to Share with you,my readers,who I am morally answerable to for the
time they spare to read my thoughts and beliefs
is as follows:
1.The Need to Dream:
“Dream,Dream,Dream for
Dreams turn into desires and Desires turn into Actions”
-Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam
Like his other book”
Wings of fire” Dr kalam Again reasons on the importance of dreaming big to
achieve big.
2.The INDIAN EFFECT:
This is a name I have self Coined to outline something Dr.Kalam Says as our
Genetic Effect among us Indians to belittle our achievements.
He shares an
experience he had when a child came and asked him If Pakistani Weapons were
better than ours ,something the child said he had learnt from the Media.
3.The need for Role
models:
Dr Kalam Feels that
India as a nation needs to know ITS ROLE MODELS.Our teachers and Parents can be
our role models when we are little kids,but then to make us believe in the
vision of someone else,A noble vision of
seeing our nation grow envisioned by a Former President,we need to have role
models.
Sadly,our print media
and Tv Media has not covered the correct role models.Bollywood Movie Stars or
Sports Icons can thrill you in their own ways,and they have a great effect on
the youth but even without a shred of doubt,I can tell you,such role models can
never make you Selfless,They can never push you to the core,They can never make
you do the Impossible.
Forgive me for adding
my realizations to What Dr Kalam said in his book but I think I must put you to
some simple calculations I did to arrive at some statements I am going to make.
India has sadly not
realized its role models:Our rich pool of
scientists,academicians,economists,thinkers and Visionaries,industrialists and
Civil Society legends.
Here is a very sad
example of the State of affairs of INDIAN YOUTH AND INDIAN CITIZENS AS SHOWN BY
