Ms Imran,

The passageyou have quoted from the text is precisely what moved me to write about Arvind Gupta.
Like you, I tend to be cynical. Arvind`s words brought back a sense of purpose and meaning that had been slipping from my life.

Thanks
Rinku

``If you find the land is barren, go create fistfuls of fertile soil! Wherever you find a crack, a crevice in the system, put your foot in, make more breathing space. Life’s so short. You have so much to give.”

What a wonderful view of life. For a cynic like myself, it is a definite eye opener. Loved the thought!
This article should be on the front page.
