Arvind Kejrival: An inspiration & a Revolution!

                                                                

I still remember the day when I was lying on my bed & watching some news channel. The media was showing some man being carried & thrashed away by the police at the Jantar Mantar- yes, you are guessing it right, I’m talking about Mr. Arvind Kejrival- the man who wrote the history.

            Every common man was frustrated & irritated by the way the whole system is working. But, all that they did was just comment on Facebook, liked others posts on corruption… & felt, their job is done. No one ever tried to enter the system & change the way it was… but one common man had the guts- ARVIND KEJRIVAL- the man with different ideas… different perspective.

About 2 years back, hardly anyone would have heard this name but today, hardly anyone hasn't heard it. He came into play when he demanded the implementation of JAN LOKPAL BILL along with Anna Hazare & many other prominent personalities. He is well known for his contribution in the drafting of the JAN LOKPAL BILL. He has also contributed significantly to the bringing of RTI ACT to grassroots level in 2006. But his popularity grew during 2012 revolution.

Someone from the then govt. commented on his demand of a clear cut talk with the govt. - “Hum sadak pe baithe logo c baat ni krte… agr baat krni h to election lado, jeeto… aur parliament me aa kr kro” & to everyone’s surprise he did it. He fought against Sheela Dixit (the then CM) & defeated her with a margin of about 25,000 votes.

This clearly shows how unpredictable life is. Just a blink of eyes & the whole scenario gets redefined…

Many people commented that Arvind Kejrival is a power- hungry & a greedy guy…& that’s why he is doing all such things. But the question is, had it been so, why did he resign from his post? He was working for the Indian Revenue Services (IRS) as Joint-commissioner of Income Tax Department where he could have collected tons of bags full of money. He was not interested in making money… but in making a difference. He challenged the authority, took a stand… was mocked at & criticized for his acts & even got beaten up by the police but he didn’t give up & today, he has the authority.

                                    “If you don’t give up… you cannot fail…”

“You are not defeated when you get a hit & fall down… you are defeated when you refuse to get up...!”

The uprising of Mr. Arvind kejrival is a great source of inspiration for all those who feel, “what can I do all alone”

“If you too feel that you are too small to make an impact…

Try going to bed with a mosquito in the room…”

Many will still criticize him… but I don’t feel it is going to make any difference in his attitude. He was criticized & questioned before as well & he hooked all the bouncers of opposition’s questions quite easily as well as quite graciously.

“Never be afraid of opposition… airplane always takes off against the wind… not with it”

“IIT in first attempt..

IRS in first attempt..

CM in first attempt..

One & the only - Arvind Kejrival.”

& here, most of the people even fail to start their vehicles in the first attempt.

Anyways, whatever you say, you can’t rule out one thing… - This man has high determinations”

He did what he said. He promised that this rule is going to be of common people & he is keeping his words. He rejected the ‘LAL BATTI’, high security, special Cars & all other such stuff. He even travelled to the oath ceremony via Metro. He is clearly indicating that he will work for common men being a common man.

Yes, democracy has been redefined & this man did it!

“The circumstances are with Mr. Kejrival

The youth is with Mr. Kejrival

India is with Mr. Kejrival!”

He proved the authorities that:        

“Don’t underestimate the power of a common man”

His attitude determined his altitude.

His attitude looked like:

“The game is yet to over because I am yet to win”

#respect for this man.
