With all his good characteristics, he always inspires greatness in me. He is simple, confident, honest, jovial, helpful and kind-hearted. He possesses great characteristics like humility, morality, tenacity and respect. There were numerous things I can list out but I want to write about an incident which made my tears to come out in proud of having such a wonderful human being as my husband.
It was the day when we decided to buy an air conditioner for our home. All of us went to an electronic shop and ordered an air conditioner. They told us that they would deliver it on the next day. When we were returning back to home, we had crossed a temple. I asked him whether we could go there. He told me that he would take us next time. He never used to tell no for going to temple. For the first time, he told that he would take us next time. I was also okay but I never knew that it happened for a reason.
We were coming on the Grand Southern Truck road. It is a national highway and one of the busiest highways in southern India. Vehicles used to go in high speed and every one should be careful while crossing the road.
I saw a big crowd in one lane and we had crossed it so quickly. I spotted an old man lying on the road. I saw him only for fraction of second. I immediately told my hubby what I saw. He slowed down the car and parked it. He asked me to stay inside the car with the kid.
I turned back to check what was happening. Every one in the crowd was standing far away from the old man. I guessed that the old man got hit by a vehicle while crossing the road. I thought that the man might have lost his life and that should be the reason why every one was standing helpless. I saw my hubby walking towards the man. The crowd was standing in the opposite side. I thought he would go and ask somebody on what happened and he would help if required.
But he went directly to the old man and took his wrist to check the pulse. The whole crowd immediately came near the old man. I was not able to see what was happening after that since the crowd had surrounded the man. Tears started coming out like a flood from my eyes when I saw that incident. I felt so proud of having such a wonderful husband.
People were just watching the old man lying in a pool of blood assuming that he had died. No one bothered to check whether he was alive. Every one was simply watching him. But when my hubby started checking the pulse, every one came running. Every one had starting trouble even to save a life. My hubby became a role model for every one in the crowd.
I saw an ambulance coming immediately and taking the old man. I saw two more young guys getting inside the ambulance. The ambulance had started but the crowd had not dispersed. I knew that they all would be standing and talking for a while about the accident.
My hubby came back. I asked him whether the man was alive. He said yes. I was so happy and asked him what happened after he went there. I told him that I was not able to see from the car.
"When I checked the pulse, I found that he is alive. I immediately called the ambulance. That is when every one started coming towards the old man. The driver told that he was in a nearby place and reach in few seconds. The man was lying in a pool of blood and one of his legs got severely injured.", he told. "Thank God! We have seen him. If you had not gone, nobody should have bothered to call even ambulance.", I told.
"Two more medical college students came at that time and they are only going along with the man in the ambulance. They told me that they would take care of him.", he told.
I prayed for the man to save the old man's life. I also thanked God for giving me a wonderful soulmate. At that time, I realized that if we could have gone to temple, the old man might not have gotten timely help. I thanked God again.
After we returned back to home, I immediately called my mom and told everything. Every one in my family felt so proud of my husband.
I have never seen such heroism in the real world. On that day, I realized that I have a hero with me as life partner. He is my love and he is someone who is #madeofgreat.
He always insist that we should not think even for a second to help others. We might be able to save even someone's life. I realized the true meaning of it on that day. I still believe that the old man is living somewhere happily. I could feel a wonderful transformation within myself.

ReplyDeleteMy answer: Tata is a name which any and every person can rely on for its honesty, commitment and perseverance. Lionel Messi is a legend who has carved his name in history books with total dedication to the game, simple living and improvisation which is seen with each game he plays. The association of Tata Motors and Lionel Messi as their Brand Ambassador will definitely give an edge to the Tata group over its competitors solely because the brand Ambassador also holds the same reputation of not letting his fans down ever, like Tata Motors who have given the best to the world over the decades. Its an exemplary association par excellence.

These same qualities are present in Lionel Messi who with his immense talent has made a mark for himself on the international football field .Facing all hardships he has worked hard toiling on the fields and in training sessions facing injuries and pressure to come out trumps and be a winner.

ReplyDeleteTATA Motors is a brand associated with performance, endurance and excellence. These words are also synonymous with Lionel Messi who plays as a forward and weaves his magic on the football field.Just as Lionel Messi is considered the best footballer in the world ,TATA motors which is Indias premier automotive manufacturer gives wheels to the people of India with its wide range of vehicles. Both believe in excelling in whatever they do and set examples for others to follow. They compliment each other as both are reliable trustworthy and leaders thus Lionel Messi is the natural choice as the brand ambassador of TATA Motors

This is a brilliant post, all the best to you :)
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to impact and impacting millions of lives, Yes, we can see both Tata Motors and Lionel Messi being the pioneers here. While the very name Tata is enough to make us go back to all our history books where we have seen there hardly is a comparable name that has contributed so much to the society in such an ethical manner, the very name Messi conjures up images of a boy-man who has turned the world upside down with his talent, determination, discipline and never-give-up spirit. The compatibility between the values they both share is intense and that is the reason this partnership works perfectly.
With a concern for the society at large,everything that Tata has done has inspired us to dream big, conquer the world and pour all our energy back into the society to do good and inspire good. By facing his demons, Messi has done the same. He enjoys a God-like status in the world today because he dared to dream, achieved the sky and still hasn't lost his humanity a bit. He is still a child at heart and he gives back with his multiple philanthropic activities just like Tata does!
Talk to any person in India, ask them about the companies they admire the most. Tata is right there at the top. This name is beyond bottomline, spreadsheets, return on investment and share price. It is equivalent to soul of India-soft, kind, diverse, dynamic, eternal. Just like that Messi has emerged as not just another football player but someone whose very life is an inspiration, whose personal struggles are a template for others to emulate and who has morphed into an eternal legend.
While it would take eons to write about what makes Tata Motors and Messi great, as their list of achievements is too long for us to even skim over, suffice to say that this partnership is for the ages. As they say, some things are made in heaven :)
Thank you for this opportunity.

These are not mere words but a part of our soul. Not just the ones that we carry around in our individual bodies but that supreme soul that binds us all together in this universe. That is why we teach our children values and morals so that these little pockets of our souls do not die away. But when we look around at our modern day lifestyle and society,it leaves a lot to be desired, right? Wrong :) I would say,as long as we have even 1 shred of humanity left,there is a ray of sunshine and that is what we see here.
I am inspired by your story just as I am inspired by the stories of Tata Motors and Lionel Messi. As I said above about humanity and ray of sunshine, it is very few icons left in this world who make me feel that way. Both Tata and Messi definitely make it to this short list.
When we talk about Tata Motors,we talk about the pride that every Indian feels because this is our truly global brand, a brand with a soul, with every product made to help us fly. This is a corporate behemoth that has not amassed its fortunes at the cost of the little man but by being a part of the very grassroots. The legacy of excellence and giving back to the society selflessly is so ingrained in Tata DNA that it has become part of folklore. Even today,in any Indian home, the moment a son/daughter gains employment in a Tata company, nobody talks about salary or CTC, they just thank their lucky stars that they are a part of Tata family. The very soul of India resides in Tata. Tata Motors has taken these very same values global, making Indians proud of what they represent. 'Look,we represent excellence, with a dollop of old world values, with love and respect' !
When we look at Messi, we see a boy with dreams in his eyes and a man who has put everything he had in making them come true, and he did! With singleminded focus,dedication and hardwork, he has managed to outdo every obstacle he faced since his birth personally, healthwise and family financial situation wise. Every obstacle became just another step for him to grow and reach up the sky. And still, every time he walks out on the field, he plays with the same agility, alarcity and a a hunger to prove himself as if it is his first game! He hasn't achieved his demi-God status without superhuman efforts.
When these two demi-Gods of their respective fields come together, there are bound to be fireworks and that is exactly what it is! Purely from a corporate point of view, there are rare instances when we see such a perfect fit form. It can be called a divine sign that a symbol of vibrancy and dynamism like no other has taken shape with the partnership of Tata Motors and Lionel Messi. More than a mere advertising gambit,it is an amalgamation of those perhaps 'lost' values that the world needs more of,now more than ever. Maybe the Gods are finally happy!
