He was Shiv Khera!!

  I was chatting with friends in camp...suddenly I heard an appealing voice containing some relevant thoughts over social problems...I came out of the camp and saw a man with spectacles hanging over his neck, was addressing the crowd while moving on the stage...He was very influential and his thoughts were so spellbinding...I asked some guy about the person...He told me," he is Shiv Khera"...I couldn't believe on my eyes that I was watching the great management guru, Mr. Khera from a distance of 20 feets.

  He spoke over one and half hours, covering a wide area of social topics...He exaplained problems using real life situations...like how a child starts speaking lie over telephone that his father is not in home due to fear of his father...He also provided solutions to each problem and more than that he inspired everyone to be a nice human being and then to be a great Indian face in the future.

  Do you remember the movie "Halla Bol" directed by Rajkumar Santoshi? The last roadshow played in that movie was inspired by a famous quotation of "Shiv Khera"...watch it!!...Basically, he presented these views before us:-

1. be a human       2. be an Indian (not a Bengali or Gujarati or Marathi etc.)        3. Say 'no' to Dowry system 4. Say 'no' to reservation 5. Help the needy, not the greedy   6. Say 'no' to secularism   7. Say 'no' to Child labour etc....You can get these thoughts in websites...But the way he explained was so touching that someone who have heard him once will hardly forget these values in the lifetime.

  

  After the end of speech,we discussed a lot about it in the camp...I read 'You Can Win' by Mr. Khera later in BIT...It's really thoughtful and encouraging...But here I would like to present some reality...I've seen these thoughts dying at every corner where life turns, for selfish reasons in which we are deeply indulged...I agree that nobody can be totally selfless but keeping some of these values intact are under our control...We can at least try to revive these values up to certain extent...People like Shiv Khera,Amartya Sen are doing it, they are fighting for this world, with this world and see how successful they are!!...They are also humans like us...If they can, we also can!!
