*Kindness is always fashionable!*
Well, the first time when I heard these words it was from my economics teacher , Sir Rajeev Poddar.
The story of Sir Rajeev Poddar is a great inspiration and was indeed my last lesson , right before I sat for my boards!
It is the time when sir was in class 2. He used to study in Birla High School at Calcutta and was very much pampered by his family , just the way we too are.
One fine afternoon , when he returned from school he had fever. He was lying on the bed the entire day and the next morning when he woke up , he couldn't walk. It was just like a dream. He had heard about it in stories. If you do something mischievous this is what happens. All the way around , he was tensed and was just uttering his mother's name.
Each and every member of his family was in tears and was shocked about the happening , for , the very previous day he was jumping and playing all around. Who knew this could have happened.
After all the doctors consultant and the experts opinions , the disease hasn't been found till date. It isn't paralysis. It isn't polio.
His lower body is totally defected , that is from below his shoulders to his foot. Despite of all these happenings , sir never lost hope.
He used to read newspapers right from the 1st word of the top sheet to the last word of the last sheet.He used to learn from his friends in the neighborhood. In 1970's , televisions weren't in trend. Lately , different technologies had come up. Sitting at one place , he could know about each single thing that had happened around the world in the past few days. Knowledge was his ultimate power . He has about 10 WhatsApp Groups namely Knowledge Capsules , wherein there are people from all around the world and are updated with the ongoing current affairs.
Steadily , he started teaching students with real life examples. Economics couldn't be made interesting except for this. Not for earning , but for spreading happiness , spreading kindness , he would do so. Today , he has satellite classes going on around.
Neither has he done economics Hons. nor is he a professor.
He is the great Rajnikanth.
"Today , if I can do this sitting at one place . You can do wanders definitely . Sky is the limit" - This is what he used to tell us and still does.
Also , he would tell us things come in fashion or in trend for a short time period but what always remains in fashion is kindness.
He wanted each child to live to the fullest and enjoy the moments that he couldn't.
He always thought the situation to be better than it could have been. There could be worse possibilities. He used it as his strength. It was all a plan of God which he couldn't change but to face the plan and rise up to this level was what he did and today he has made a place for himself in million hearts.
Sir , you are a great motivation. Your story will inspire each and every head. No sir , this isn't to gain sympathy but this is to make all the lost and depressed heads believe that this isn't the end. There's much more beyond to it. If you can do it , they can do it too.
Different ways but a binded hope.
Believe in yourself . No matter what , god has his own plans for you.
Let go of things , donot worry about future.
Live today as if there was no yesterday and there's no tomorrow. You will be the happiest person alive.
