A strange feeling it is when the moment you were waiting for is just moments away from you.....
It is one of those feelings RK was experiencing.....A brief retrospection.....

September 11, 2010

------------------------
RK was one of the most loved guys of the college.....from his school days, he was good at academics...though he never topped......neither did he ever top in college......

Back here..!!!
That was the day, a very reputed firm was gonna visit the campus.....and it was a firm RK always wanted to be a part of......he was curious, anxious, feeling excited.....and was going through every possible feeling......
While driving his way to college..to overcome the "hysteria", he played the music but something had pre-occupied his mind....
"what if I falter ?"
"what if it doesn't work out the favourable way?"
"what if.........................................................??"

10:00 am: He stopped at a traffic signal.....and looked at the kids begging for money......this was something at which his heart would spill out and he wanted to do something to help but at this stage of his life neither did he had a platform nor a clear vision as to how to go about it....???

he tried to focus on the job in hand......
10:20 am: He reached the campus...parked his car and walked straight to the auditorium where the pre placement talk and the further process of the company was to take place.....

in the due course of the day,,, there were a few rounds...RK successfully managed to make it to the final round where he was against the 7 best in the college...

There was a break of 45 mins before the final round......and it was 11.30 pm....

12/Sep/2010, 01:30 am: "A gift to embrace, a race to conquest,
                                       there are moments you face, those moments lead you to the best"

11/Sep/2010, 10.40 pm: RK closed his eyes and tried to re-iterate the things he had prepared for the final round

12/Sep/2010, 01:20 am: "A night to remember, a sight to remember"

11/Sep/2010, 10.45 pm: As RK closed his eyes, he saw a sight.....he was standing in front of a very tall building.........

12/Sep/2010 01:15 am: "Dreams are big..so are the aspirations"

11/Sep/2010 10:50 pm: He tried to identify the name coined on the name-plate of the building.....

12/Sep/2010 01:10 am: "The road less travelled...the path less taken"

11/Sep/2010 10:55 am: Suddenly everything started to get illusioned...there was a whirlwind......

12/Sep/2010 01:00 am: "The moment had come...had to make a choice....but the road  diverged.........."

11/Sep/2010 11:00 pm: RK kept focussing on the name-plate inspite of all the clutter around.....

12/Sep/2010 12:55 am: "Was a tough call......"

11/Sep/2010 11:14 pm: "RST Business Group"........written at the top of the building......

12/Sep/2010 12:50 am: "I knew I would have to............."

Messenger Of God !!

Go read out, Go fly away !!!!
Go spread the word, Go fly away !!!

These were the words spoken by God when He sent his messenger to the world, to India. As he landed here, he took out the scroll that was given to him with the above to lines scripted on it. He read them and set out on his odyssey with a strong will and proper direction.

As he reached India, he thought of conducting a survey to find out which is that one area in India that needs most rectification. He met a person and asked him, " Which place in India is the one which is in dire need of rescue today ?". He answered the rural areas and went on to name a few. He met the next person and asked the same question and got pretty much the same answer. He kept on meeting people and kept getting almost the same replies every time.
Now that he was convinced with which area to start from, he decided to move to that place. As he was about to shoot, he saw a person and something prompted him to ask one more person. He pursued his inner voice and walked up to him and asked the same question. This time, however the messenger got a different answer and was shocked. The person said, "Delhi".
The messenger said, "I asked a hundred people and each one of them said that the rural areas are in desperate need, so how come you name the capital as the answer ?". That person smiled painfully and said,

"I lived for 35 years in Delhi and have been brought up there. Never during my early stay there did i see pride in the eyes of people when they said they are a DELHIite, but off-late I started to see the pride, a pride which is not seen in the eyes of the people when they say they are an INDIAN. Delhi prospered so much that people living there aren't concerned with the people of INDIA. Delhi had The Metro while  in some states we do not have electricity. Delhi had proper renovations while some areas do not even have residences. And when I realized that materialism has taken over Delhi, I felt choked and found it difficult to stay there."


Just realize how serious this message is. A revolution can be brought about by just talking about it. If all the DELHIites erupt from the slumber, I believe we can have a change and not substitution.

As for the messenger, he is still here between us to make some amends, expecting us to realize the importance of our words so that when we goes back and stands in front of the God, he can have the pride in his smile and happiness in his tears. And that messenger is YOU..!!!!
Each one of you reading this and/or realizing it in some way or the other !!!
