The power of One


Recently we had Mr. Abhijit Dutt as our professor for social communications and he did an age old exercise.

He asked us to go and meet a person in the lobby who can change the world. I was too excited to meet this person, who could it be ?
Some thoughts came to me were - beggar ? Politician ? a common man ? teacher ?

Finally he asked me to go to the lobby and there I found this person named Shashi.
Yes, there was no one but a mirror to show my own face as the one who can change the world.

I knew this exercise through some forward email threads I received years back but here I was actually doing it.

Later he stressed on "The power of ONE". How can even a single person change the world forever.
Many have done it, why can't I ?

At first, I laughed at myself, and monologued "Abe tu karega duniya change? " Chup chap beth ja !!

But then I started thinking, why not ?
Who is stopping me except my own belief that I can not.

Well, I think there is immense power in ONE !!!
But the point is , its not about just thinking but living it, doing it.
