There was a session by Kiran Bedi (IPS officer) in SAP Labs a month ago. Although SAP organises lots of these kind of sessions by different personalities like Sunil Gavaskar etc.. But I didn't see so much crowd that I had seen in Kiran bedi's session. It was full town hall meeting. Even people were standing behind the stage. And simple reason behind this amazing gathering is respect. We all respect that lady a lot, that's why we were excited to just see her and listen what she says. In IIT also lots of famous personalities were invited like singers, poets...but I didn't feel so much excitment from inside. It was just ok to see them. It doesn't mean that I don't have respect for them. It is different kind of feeling. If one can earn this much respect, then I think he/she doesn't need anything else in life.
In this session people were just whistling on her jokes and laughing with her but next moment there was pin point silence when she started discussing some serious issues. She was perfect mixture of strictness and softness.
And important thing is that she is very simple person. I saw her again on bangalore airport when I reached there to see off my brother. As I turned back she was just behind me. One old man and a little boy were there with her, they came to see her off. I was continuously looking at this scene. What I saw, is not explainable in words. I can clearly see plenty of respect and politeness on old man face for her. Generally when we see off our parents or brother and sister, we either touches their feet or hug them. Because this old man was not any of them for her, so it was obvious he can not greet like this but how he expressed his feelings, was amazing. I think I would say it was better than touching feets. It was appearing like his expression is saying, mam, you are great and I feel very proud to be with you at this moment. It was just for 2-3 seconds, but I think she also felt that. She smiled and moved from there. I was still there, thinking whether I should approach to her, atleast for saying good morning mam. But I was just nervous, because of her personality and I thought, may be she would not like meeting strangers like this on airport. So I stayed back. But honestly it was nice feeling to see her so closely.
You can never earn so much joy or satisfaction by earning crores of money, that's what I think.
