This is ample proof that I am neither a blog enthusiast nor somebody who spends a great deal of time on the wonder called the World Wide Web. However, I have decided just 10 minutes ago to start a blogspot of my own and put up some thoughts intermittently [my kid brother is definitely the inspiration].<br /><br />As I bowl my first over, let me talk about the title of this blog. Pavan Choudary, a successful entrepreneur and an inspirational new age wisdom guru, writes thus in his book [When You Are Sinking Become A Submarine]: "No flower's scent goes against the wind -- not sandalwood, jasmine, tagara. But the scent of the good does go against the wind. The person of integrity wafts a scent in every direction. He (the good) does not need the wind to spread his perfume. He is himself a windmill powered by the energy of the Universe."<br /><br />These words are powerful words spoken in favour of a person who is innately good. I would picturise such a person as one who is honest, fair, truthful, transparent, kind and loving. Rare is the man who embodies all these traits. But there are a number of human beings who have these qualities in various combinations. We must appreciate and support such people for they are the pillars of mankind and our existence. At a personal level, I have tried to follow the paths traversed by such men and have always looked up to them for inspiration.<br /><br />The title of this blog is a tribute to such men [it could be a Mahatma Gandhi, Lal Bahadur Shastri or a S.N.Mishra]. We will have future opportunities to discuss such men and their deeds.<br /><br /><br /><p>It is well past midnight of 1st November, 2008 and let me end the first over!</p><p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4628945005306781499-7751747166703341176?l=sobhanpoonam.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sobhanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12541873312497968307noreply@blogger.com0
