India finally shown the world a spectacular CWG event, ninteenth in the series. When I posted the last blog, India was leading with 10 golds and yesterday, it finished second among all the participating countries with 38 gold medals and total of '101' medals, which obviously brought the cheers and great inspiration to all the citizens, sports men and sports women in the country. India projected as a poor country (slumdog !) to the world by the media all these years. Yesterday, it was altogehter a different story by the same media, which projected India as a 'RICH, NEW, YOUNG, MODERN and ACTIVE ++' to the world during the closing ceremony of CWG. From 7.00 pm till 10.00 pm it was a fasinating show for every Indian citizen (Thanks to Doordarshan). Politicians, sports personal, police, Delhi public, spectators, participants and 28,000 volunteers shown unity and performance during this CWG for its great success. Yesterday is already 'history' today! The memory is fresh and you can still live with it 'life-long'. Congratulations to all the winners and all the 'yet to be winners'.
When ever one think of poverty/weakness in some aspects, there comes a new opportunity to show and feel the richness. For examples Money comes and it goes ! Sometime it is highly valued and sometime it is drastically under valued! (People in stock market knows this fact!, even common man get a sense of it when he buys petrol or gold).
I personally belive the 'hard work' generated out of funds or support is highly valued. The equation is very simple. You may have money/funds to generate work or you might have worked for 'free' and preserved a part of it for encashing later. You want to see the money in 'numbers' or to see the work/experience as asset. Which is more risky? Keeping money as 'numbers' in savings or preserving the 'work/experience' as assets for encashing later? Certainly from our early experience the 'numbers' can be lost easily where as 'work/experience' is the asset which is difficult to lose. Look at china, most of the products produced in mass is usually licensed from Developed countries. The workers learn the art at someone's expenses and later encash them when required! Even if they were exploited (in the so called out-sourcing world), still they got some opportunity to learn new skill sets which would certainly help at difficult times. It is the same case with India. We are fast learners and eagerly looking for opportunity! Look at the movie 'Endhiran / Robot' by non other than our 'super-star' from south india, I believe it demonstrates that India can do something which we usually think only 'hollywood' can do! Again it is just state of mind. The moment you think it is 'difficult' you become poor, where as if you think it is 'possible' and suddenly turned to 'Rich'. The yield of hardwork could be respect, human relations, honor, love, good will, frienship, society support, or even mere numbers! Finally it is just a state of mind. We never think in this way.. until we experience ourself what is actually Rich or Poor? It is a very hard lesson to be learned. In the quotes of Mahatma, "Each one has to find his peace from within" (Discover Rich in You!)
