If you truly know even one bone of me, you would agree that patience is not my virtue. Impulsive, intuitive and action prone, those are all the words that truly describe me. I have rarely been able to play the waiting game. I still remember how I was asked by my team mate at Nihilent to be patient enough to complete two years before I quit the politically charged workplace. I was the first to move on for better opportunities. Not the last though, the tide had just turned. I did not wait for long to pursue an MBA. Took up the first opportunity available. I never regret being impatient, it always paid off. However, this time round I have shown unusual patience to wait for the right opportunity. I wonder why! Maybe Canada has changed me in many ways, for good. However, patience should never act as a cover for lack of courage. Courage, to take the right step. I am sure my roots will always guard me against that vice.
This week I have also gone through another strange phase. I have been remembering one of the greatest leaders India has ever had.
Indira Gandhi.
Today, we seem to lack the courage and shrewdness she epitomizes, to change the course of destiny of millions of people. Things she did, would change India, her enemies and the world forever. Just imagine, how the world would be today if we had two epicentres of terror on both sides of India. Good heavens, she was not patient enough with the Pakistani army and its atrocities in East Pakistan.
