There are people who make difference to your life just by being there, just by existing....
The other day after a hard day's work returned to home and switched on T.V...While was switching channels to find some sensible stuff, a face, pretty appealing to eyes, grabbed all my attention. Star World was showing Achiever's Club and that day they were interviewing Vikas Khanna, a chef who became much popular in India after his appearance in Master Chef. I already had read his biography and his blogs, but that day he was before me on the screen talking about his life, personal and professional...
Some people say that his popularity (esp. among his female fans) is much due to his looks...well in my case I would have admired him as much as i do now, even if i were blind. It is not his looks that make me so much attracted to him; nor does his title "One of the Sexiest Men Alive". It is his humbleness, his attitude, his life story and a touch of a common man in him that make me a huge fan of his. His journey to what he is today is very much inspirational. During his interview a few things that he said are worth a mention.
When he was asked why he went to New York when he was doing pretty well in India, the answer that he gave was fabulous: "My brother said that it is better to live one day of your life like a hero than to live a full life of an ordinary man."
He mentioned the book "The Secret" in his conversation, while he was talking about his persistent chase of his dreams. "When you want to achieve something, when you dream about something, just live for it until the universe shifts itself to make place for what you dream."
Somewhere in his conversation he said that it is very difficult to live somebody else's life. Live the way you are and live the life you want to live.
The above things are a few pearls that touched my heart. In a way they are very much known, but the way he was speaking and the way his eyes were shining when he spoke made them more real than the words of wisdom delivered by the so called scholars....
It is very difficult to fly high and still to keep your feet on ground...Vikas Khanna has very well done it. His honesty, his humbleness, his truthfulness reflect in his eyes, in his speech.
The interview made my day....
