Have you ever met / spoken to your Icon

[Shakthiprabha.]

rp,



true.

[sv]

I met Abdhul kalaam-ji. I couldn't go near him or talk to him as the security was tight. I am happy that i could listen to his lecture, it was really motivating. Man of noble thoughts, simple natured, achieved so much in life, still tries to enlighten the minds of young people. How can i express my admiration of him in words?!!
After seeing the film Gandhi i really felt i could have lived in his age! Certainly suitable for the title 'Mahathma' in every aspect.

Unfortunately.....Mahatma's certain decisions taken then is being widely criticised now !!
Its really sad that what were the circumstances then which made him take those sensitive decisions ( sensible ) ....no one is alive now to explain to us ......

The entire generation of freedom fighters have left us

Bitterly true!
Neways, as for me, I'd always wanted to meet AB wenever I saw him on TV/in movies.....! Even tried once 4-5 yrs ago to get into KBC but the line was always engaged!
Neways, now after I've been inspired by Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda, I wish I cud've met them/either of them.....!

Gandhiji's simplicity, principles, determination, kindness, his personality is inspirational. If we embrace such a saadhvic way of life, then the world will become a better place. Yes, some of his political decisions are criticized. I cannot comment on that.
Lambretta, i too like your idols. Look at swathy's icon. We can see the greatness in swami vivikananda's thoughts in his picture. I read somewhere, if the mind is pure it will radiate through one's face. That beauty is beyond skin depth!

[Lambretta]

Abs. true sv! I know it wud be difficult to emulate these personalities but not impossible.......I guess it all depends on how hard ppl. r prepared to try (& sure they won't be successful in the 1st attempt!)

[sv]

Yes Lambretta. If one tries to follow their path, he/she will live as a good human being, that is what we call as "success" here, is it not?

There are so many icons in my desktop. I had never tried to talk to them. The best I do is double-click on them.

Mine is not just one. I have been longing to meet Nelson Mandela, Kamal Hassan and Vairamuthu . I dont know as to when I will get the opportunity

One of my present colleagues who is an Indian has closely worked with Kamal on a couple of fund rasing projects in TN. He is quite close to Kamal and he had promised me that he would try and get Kamal down here to Sri Lanka for another fund raising project ( dont know how far it is possible ) . I felt so jealous when my colleague showed me the photographs taken with Kamal.
