Role Models in my life..

As it goes, I live my life entirely deriving inspirations from the life of other great people's life. All though I go by the irony that it'll be me who goes forward and others follow, I do often look upto certain people in my life.

  • Mahatma Gandhi- I don't know why people have a disliking towards this great man.. Some say he's a coward.. I say those people are cowards. Not one man could win over a reckoning force without taking a weapon in his hand. Such is the greatness of the FATHER OF OUR NATION.. I am one of the uniquest people having a great liking towards Indian History.. And each time i read it, I get inspired by the way he was able to unite Hindus, Muslims and a country of 1 billion to oppose the British Rule only through Non Violence.! His speeches and quotes created a legacy which was largely used by Martin Luther King Jr., another great person, for Black Freedom in the United States.
  • Isaac Newton - Haha.. Now I know I won't be much popular among my batch mates who incidentally happen to read my blog for writing his name here. But i give a damn. I mean if only i had a quarter of his brains, aah.! I can imagine where I would be.. Lol..(i know am dreaming.) Firstly when i saw his picture when i was in 7th or so, I thought he would be yet another general of the British in India.. Haha.. Only when i came to 8th did i know the brains of this genius. From his F=ma to all his laws in motion and gravity, his ability in reasoning and science is what wanted me to pursue and realize there is something more to Physics than blind reading. And that's why i love physics.
  • Dr.A.P.J Abdul Kalam - The one who has set my "Wings in fire".. "DREAM BIG".. That's what the greatest Scientist of India had to say to all the young children of India.. He further quoted- "Transforming India into a developed nation by 2020 and seeing smiles on the faces of one billion people is the greatest challenge for our nation." He had a vision for India. From a village in the southern tip of Tamil Nadu, Rameshwaram, to a MIT student, to the Rashtrapathi Bhavan and now India's most lovable person, his journey inspires many a people. His modesty and his affection for Kids is what makes him such a special person in my life.
  • Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev - My guru, a great personality whose main aim is to make people realize the purpose for which they are living.. A great donar too.. Has set up many schemes all around Tamil Nadu to help the needy by providing free education, free medicine and many others things like this.. Not all people in this modern advanced world have the heart to help the ones who are in need of it, which says he is one in a billion.
  • Sylvester Stallone - This great versatile actor just about finishes my top 5 of my role models.. Well, people may ask what's so great about this actor which has made me rate him as one of the best.. Few do know Slyvester had paralysis in his mouth.. He had lost everything in his life.. His friends saw him as sore loser.. Thats when the fire burning within this man came out.. He came up with a story for a film.. A film entirely about Boxing.. And nothing else.. When he showed it to his friend who was a director, he just said it was REAL CRAP and shouted straight at his face saying NO MORON WOULD LIKE TO WATCH A 2HR FILM WHICH INVOLVES BOXING.. The ambition to prove all these people who had discarded him made him take a huge risk.. He got a help from his little know friend to direct the film where he was the source of story, dialogue and the actor.. And what was the movie ? Umm, R-O-C-K-Y ! Wooah.! If not for this man's burning desire, we would never had the inspirational Rocky Series.. Hats off Sylvester..



There are others too who inspire me like Lincoln, John.F.Kennedy, Sachin Tendulkar, Rajinikanth, few of my friends and my parents.. But none give me more inspiration than the ones i've mentioned above..

What an Article.! What a man.! Hats off SuperStar..

SuperStar, we Salute U !

These are the lines of the title song of SuperStar's latest movie-Kuselan.!

"Japan Pona Super Star, German Pona Super Star
America’vil Super Star Africa’vil Super Star"..


Let me start writing about the SuperStar of India.! Biggest India has had without any Doubts.!

R - A - J - I - N - I !!!

Well, people may ask what is that is so special about him.!

For the starters, his journey says it all.! Like all other successful people over the world, Rajinikanth a.k.a Sivaji Gaekwad started his career as a BUS CONDUCTOR.!

Hear it out people, as a BUS CONDUCTOR.! Woov has it been an incredible journey.! Bus Conductor to a SUPER SUPER STAR !

Got into cinema with the help of many influences..! As he said, Cinema was only an accident to him.! But my GOD.! Accidents do come good !

And now he has a demi-god status.! Not only in Tamil Nadu.. But in all parts of India and now in Japan and United States etc etc.!

Now what makes him the best among all !? Well people may argue that the Bachans or the Khans are better than him.! Well they may be better than him( not in my opinion though).!

But people must look into the fact that Mr.Bachan and all Khans(with all due respects to them) have become popular only through Hindi cinemas.! Or namely Bollywood.!

They had the language in their side, a language which major parts of India understood..

But Rajinikanth, acting in a regional language which aint even quite talked about in the South and yet being a SUPERSTAR talks loads about him.! Only can I imagine what impact he would have created if only he had been in Bollywood.! (Maybe would have bought Oscars).!

Now what makes this man an unique person.! Well the thing which stands out is his modesty.! Being a Superstar, he only gets down in an Ambassador, has the heart to Apologize-which i bet no celebrity in India has.!

And he keeps in touch with his olden days.! In every film of his do u see a dialogue related to his stint as a Conductor.! Be it Sivaji, Annamalai, Padayappa, etc etc.!


Some may argue that Rajini aint an ACTOR..U know one who can ACT actually.! Er.! Its the Demi God status which Die Hards Rajini fans like me give him is what is making him do Larger Than Real Life Films.! (which we thrive and wait for).!

As his mentor K.Balachander once put it before the release of Padayappa, he said- " People has lost Rajini the Actor by getting to see Rajini the SUPERSTAR"

BUT WHO CARES.! HE's OUR THALAIVAR, SUPERSTAR, GOD and so on.!

SUPERSTAR WE SALUTE U FOR WHAT U ARE.! LONG LIVE SUPERSTAR.!
