On 15th of August, Times group launched a never before campaign, Lead India. This initiative is very special in many ways, its a search of a leader who can fearlessly lead this country and think of public interest and also this show is motivating people to change the mindset of blaming others for everything. I think its a great initiative and it will defiantly make people think the way they can help the country.
I like the entire concept of the show, to start with its tag line is DO, its kinda encouraging. If you want to change the world, start changing yourself first. Even small things can make a big difference, like following traffic rules or not throwing any waste on the road or anything that you think that will help in making the place better then ever. Initially people might ignore your efforts or they might make fun of you, but no effort go for a waste, they will realize and will start following your footprints and thats when you will find a leader in you and yeah as I said small things you have ignored so far could make a big difference.
We have a tendency to blame others for every small thing, say blaming government, your society or your manager ( sometimes :-)) but try to make every possible effort from your side and make sure you do what you can do to solve the issue, in short DO.
I was in Pune last weekend, and happened to visit AdLabs, a chain of theaters by Reliance Group. The unique thing about them is they play National anthem before every movie everyday, isn't it awesome. It was lovely to see so many people standing and singing Jana Gana Man. I know thats its a very small thing but it makes a big difference. It makes us think about the country at least for a min.
Lead India is just a beginning, people are taking extra effort to change themselves and people around them. You wont believe but on Sunday when every one wants to take rest and chill out, employees of Dell India Pvt Ltd helps traffic police to educate people about traffic rules and Google employees visit an orphanage on Sunday to spend some time with children out der and they have also made a group to clean up roads here in Hyderabad. Although they are doing different things but the motive is the same. This is just the beginning hope to see you in many of such things. Now its on you to think how you can contribute...
