“Correcting the incorrect, taking the compassionate and intelligent approach to even ugliest of realities and changing things to her vision” are few words that can capture the wit and intelligence of Kiran Bedi. Yesterday i just happened to see a video lecture of this lady and just can't get her words out of my mind. She has the power to infuse life into the dead and i think after listening to it all, i am more alive and goal oriented now. Every word, every sentence and the entire insight on things and examples she has set is worth a note and is motivating in itself. Her work and entire approach taken to correct the situations at Tihar Jail is a must read and of high acclamation. The book “ It's always possible: one woman's transformation of Tihar Jail” gives an insight into all her approaches and the situations which she transformed using the most humanitarian ways.
Jist of the entire lecture
Time and tide waits for none and hence it is very important that every minute and every second is well crafted. Ms. Bedi is one best example to quote here. Being born in a family where simplicity was to the core, Ms Bedi imbibed and instilled in her all the things remarkably well. Her father was a tennis champion and her mother was one bright and intelligent student who loved to study scholarly work. She imbibed both the virtues in her and proved her worth and wit to the masses out there. Every word that she said, i could somehow relate a few to mine and would love to imbibe the rest and be one like her someday. “Bold, fearless.. the lady who never steps aside of responsibilities and says, 'I Dare...'.”
One best line in the entire lecture was, “make big things out of small i.e. optimum utilization of resources (something that i learnt in Economics..)”. Ms. Bedi is not only a person of words but is one who does what she commits. Something like the dialouge of Salman Khan's movie Dabaang (one of my favourite.. ) “Ek baar jo commitment kardiya.. toh mein khud ki bi nai sunta.” She is a lady who not only questions the societal wrong but have all the courage to correct it. Tihar Jail is one of the best examples of her work here. Posting in jail is considered next to the dead end punishment but all punishments turn into blessing when imposed on a lady like Kiran Bedi.
Beautifully stating that one should always count on their blessings and well craft every minute of their life, Ms. Bedi well discloses the secret of how to unlock the key to success and happiness. Truly speaking, this very line "Count on your blessings" hits my mind each time i am troubled or feel dejected and shattered. Hurdles are sure to come your way but it how calmly and well you handle it is what is important. In all completeness, Ms. Bedi is a woman who deserves a unique distinction. Salute to her Courage and ability to make the best out of limited resources.
