Yenna Rascala Mind it… !

Did you know.. Rajnikanth can give a missed call to his own number ? Everything that is deemed impossible by God also, is possible for this man… and now I hear that Rajnikanth’s story has been included in the curriculum for CBSE students.

And why not ?? It is truly a ‘rags to riches’ story. Born as Shivaji Rao Gaikwad in a Maratha family, Rajni lost his mother at the age of five. An impoverished lifestyle and a constant struggle to make ends meet, Rajnikanth perceived the essence of ‘struggle’ at a young age. Bangalore Transport Service was the chosen destination of Mr Gaikwad who assumed the role of a bus conductor here. Acting in plays was a passion, when by a stroke of luck, he was discovered by a film director who encouraged him to master Tamil.

And then the Maratha lad transformed into a south Indian deity. Yes, the Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent ! Consider this.. Rajnikanth has a brain tumor which is incurable. But, in one of the fights Rajnikanth is shot in the head. The bullet passes through his ears taking the tumor along and Rajni is cured ! In another scene, Rajnikanth is confronted with a gangster but he is unarmed and  only has a knife with him. The gangster fires and Rajnikanth, with the knife, cuts the bullet into two pieces !

We are hopeful that the students studying Rajnikanth’s life story will not attempt such logic defying stunts but what is remarkable about the man is his humility post this unbelievable stardom ! Struggle is good. It strengthens the foundation of a human being and with a strong foundation, no building can ever collapse !

As an ambitious child, I too dreamt of growing up to be a bus conductor one day since I believed that the conductor took home, along with him, all the earnings of the day. But it’s a good idea to dream and dream big. After all, did Rajni know that one day he could eat dosa with chop sticks ?
