Contemplating a grain of SAND - Aravind Eye Hospital

I hate writing about life and all that *%#$#%^#...everyone know that.  But this is my place and I have right to download all that gets on my mind. may be it's all not crap and some learning..but not all kind of learning is meaningful. Something I was forced to learn and something I wanted to learn..and something that just happened to me that taught me something I never expected. It was the speech by company vp (J D India operations) which is etching my head left and right. That guy did not speak much...he said few things and then played a video. ~~~The aftereffect was so strong that he said only one line that the session is closed, and I couldn't even raise my hands to clap for his presentation. We all were left in our thoughts that we couldn't believe what we just watched.

Background: As this was supposed to be the most high profile session of 3 day long new joinee orientation program, I was excited to attend this.

John Deere, A multi billion dollar US company, the VP of it's India operations was not getting time to address the new joinee's, the VP address was getting delayed so many times, so finally they clubbed 4 to 5 batches and made it happen some two weeks back. But when it happened it left all thinking deeply about few things that never bothered them.

The expectations were to listen a vp, who will tell about growing business, sustaining growth, constantly improving with new innovations and bringing change to society and blah blah blah... He did it all but without saying a word about it, in his own way he won the audience and fulfilled his duty to convey his message. I don't know what's the deal, but I love few people or companies instantly, Bosch was one of them and John Deere is made from the same DNA.  Humanitarian approach while keeping business goals in sight, they taught me this.  Consumerism is at it's peak when we count ourselves as developing, and striving to become developed within.Why I need so many things when I can live with so few. I can donate money so does every

rich man, what about time? who will volunteer to work?

The 80-20 principle works everywhere, the balance of this society is also maintained by these 20% good people who don't just feed themselves but think about others as well.

The video he showed was about Aravind Eye Hospitals.

*The founder launched it after getting retired at age of 58.

*Banks denied him loans and asked him to enjoy his retirement.

*With mere 11 beds and family members working with him, he started.

*Today it is the largest and most productive eye care facility in the world. A self-sustaining system that now treats over 1.7 million patients each year, two-thirds of them, for free.

The vision of Dr V, as fondly called by all, is overwhelmingly pure, brilliant and human. got this link read on...

I wonder, moreover I don't understand , when I know what I have to do, why I waste so much time. Will I be ever going to do what I want to do, Will I follow the heart or just listen to brain all the time... will I be able to pursue the gray cells to beat in harmony with heart shaped ones. Why I'm writing all this, why why why...

This is ALL REAL !

28 Years !

I am yet to believe that I have reached to a stage where I have seen world/people/lives. (atleast upto an extent)

It still feels like I have just opened my eyes, and amused to see things happening around.

New bonds in making and older people separating. (of oldage or medical conditions)

Taking there places are the newborns.

THE Loom of Fate.

Sachin Tendulkar. TENth World Cup for TENdulkar.

Sachin Tendulkar.  Bas naam hi kafi hai.

10th  CRICKET WORLD CUP has this name carved allover on it.

100th Century will be one more reason to rejoice very soon.

A year ago, all journos were talking about Sachin's big three dues;

1> World Cup Win.

2> Triple Ton in Test Cricket.

3> 100 International Centuries.

Of all the above, The master has conquered World Cup goal and 100 centuries are just 1 away. Triple ton ..yeahhh looks bit difficult at this stage, BUT he is the Master. Unstoppable, no age barrier, unfatigued.  

If he can smash 200 runs in half day, he can go beyond 400 runs anytime in Test Cricket.

Such is the belief. SACH is the Man. Sach is Life.

The Most Wonderful Cricketing Moment, I have ever watched. Apart from game, WORLD ...take a look, Sachin (A Hindu) is on Yusuf's (A Muslim) shoulders, and Harbhajan (A Sikh) is screaming, he cried after the win. Hindu, Muslim Sikh Isai Hum sab hai bhai bhai. Such is the Nation, Sach is Life.!

With friends at Puna flat, Enjoying the glorious moments.

ciao.
