My Role Model

My role model in my life is Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.Who is Gandhi?How did he come into my life?

Gandhiji was not great impressive personality in my early life!I did come to know him through my GK books and of course my history books!!!Anyways i did learn about him a really long lesson when i was in class 10,but then just didn't think anything really great of him.Thought that he was also just a social worker.The mistake was that i didn't visualize Bapu's early life.I just started learning that he completed his law and came to India and seeing people suffer he thought that people should be relieved from all their torture,and started working and got freedom.It did sound very simple to me in my early life.

I did come to know about him more only when i reached my college.It was like i lost a seat in a college which i dreamt of doing my under graduation only by 1.75 marks.I was quite upset with it and i have cried thinking of my fate quite a number of times.My Dad used to convince me and then on i started listening to the advice of my father.Because before that i didn't have much of a chance or time to spend with my father.He was once talking with me asusual and suddenly he started talking about Gandhiji.I just startted to know more about Gandhi only after my fathers talk i can tell!!!

I just really wonder about the PATIENCE that the personality had.WOW!I salute him!!Hats off to Gandhiji!!!I did have a chance to look at the movie Gandhi when once we were taken to the newly constructed Gandhi Museum at my college,great was it!!!I can never forget that visit.I had a look at the very rare pictures of Gandhiji.
