E. Sridharan: It’s very easy to praise this man for the work
he has done, but no one knows what goes behind all this for his exemplary work.
His sheer dedication towards his work has made the life of Delhi walas very easy. I recently visited Delhi and I think Delhi Metro is the only place where you
can see that India somewhere
match the standard of Japan
or China.
But it’s not this simple; he fought many battles to accomplish this from
government clearances to political obduracy. He is the new role model to the
people who want to work for the betterment of the country.
Pullela Gopichand: I am not very sure how many of you had
heard this name before the Olympics but I am sure that now everyone knows who
Saina Nehwal is. He isn’t just an incredible coach but an incredible human
being. Recently I heard that he has been funding the junior badminton players
from his pocket as government doesn’t provide enough facilities to train young
athletes. When ever Saina wins a title, people congratulate her but a lot of
credit must go to Gopi as well. You can find him thinking about something all
the time during the game. He is never too excited whenever she wins and never
seems dejected when she has a bad game.
Dashrath Manjhi: If you always criticize others and
government for not doing anything, learn something from this man. A man of
century or mountain man who dint wait for others to join the uphill task to
create a road through mountain, died before reaping of what he has done. His
grit to save thousands of people of Gahlour village from walking 8 KM for water
gave him enough strength that he shoveled day in day out to do the undoable.
Piyush Mishra: Yeah that guy from Gangs of Wasseypur! All
these years I dint notice him in Gulaal, Matrubhoomi, Bhindi Bazar, Rockstar but
what a natural talent he is, he is an actor, lyricist, singer and composer. I
have become a fan of him after watching Gangs of Wasseypur and listening to his
song, Ek Bagal me channd Hoga. These are some special talent we forget to give
chances to. Thanks to Anurag Kahsyap who once again brought Piyush into
mainstream. People say that GoW was hit because of the story Anurag Kashyap
represented but I think it was big hit because the way Nawazuddin, Piyush,
Manoy Bajpia, Richa Chaddha acted.
Bharti Singh: I know you are laughing. Those SAB TV addicts know
this fat short height girl. She rose into fame after TV show comedy circus on
SAB. Where girl of her appearance find it hard to even come on camera but she
surely is a brave girl. I just admire her so much; she is fun to watch every
time she appears in any show. Recently in Jhala Dikhla Ja I got to know her
true story, how she was raised. She used to watch people eating Burger and wondering
how they eat them. No one likes to put on weight but she seems to smiling at
all times. She got Madhuri Dixit and Karan Johar in tears when she performed on
the song "Kyun mai Jagun aur wo sapne bun raha hai". You must never
stress on how you looks but focus on what you are.
Rakhi Sawant: Dont judge me but yes I like Rakhi Sawant a
lot, not her grace but her stiffness. It’s very tough for a ganwar to stay in
light in the age of Penty's and Fukhri's and especially when you don’t have a
great physique and no bollwood link up, but she still manages to be there. Whether
it’s big boss house or the parliament, she somehow gets there.
Unmukt Chand: You absolutely know this lad now. He was big
even before he won the world cup. I have been hearing about him from quiet a long
time now. It’s hard for a boy to manage people of 15 different states and make
them perform and win the cup beating mighty Australians in Australia. He
got few chances in IPL season gone by but couldn’t convince selectors to get
more chances to show his metal or may be he was in the wrong side when you have
KP, Taylor, Mahela, Warner, Veeru, Morkel in that side. He played a great knock
and a matured one in the world cup as watched by many. He looked very calm and
composed throught. Hope he maintains the same attitude and brings many more
cups to India.
Indian team’s future looks very bright.
Surely there would be many more in the hindsight but these
are the ones that caught my attention.

had to begin where he was”
