Hereditery Profession
While everybody in India is talking about the corruption in high places, the amount of money (how many zeros will be there to denote the huge amount that is being touted), I found it very refreshing to have met this young boy last month.
A tiny one room on the top of a old building - climbing up the stairs strained with pan spittings on both sides, somebody taking a nap on the landing - Not a definite winner of a Great Place to work. But this guy Tanvir was enjoying his work and was so proud of what he and his other coworkers were doing..
"Polishing Silver and Gold articles"
Yes this was the profession he was undertaking as a family business and which has been traditionally done by his ancestors - What was refreshing was the pride he had and the happiness he found in this calling. He was proud of the fact that they were dealing with almost all the major jewellers in TNagar.
So like Robin Sharma talks about Being the Best in what you do in his Leading without a title book, I found a perfect replica of the Anna character of that book in Tanvar.
This is what makes my country to become great was what stuck me the other day, not those drawing huge salary working in great comfort and still saying that the company they work for sucks or they were bored with their job. What a contrast to this young man. There are a lot of things such kind of people can learn from Tanvar.
What a way to go Tanvir. I am sure that you may not make a huge money in your profession, but you would be a great person in your profession. I would like to see you again and again and enjoy your happiness at work.
May god give you all the good things in life

Yes I felt so proud of him many a indians are like that, but thing is we become very materialist as we grow up and forget the essence of things. In fact, I lament the lack of Moral instruction in the school. When we were children there were these fables that were told in the class, which was just a story then, but now it makes a lot of sense. That what was taught in the earlier years has gone deep into the brain and now and then it pops up and makes a lot of sense. But what do we teach our children now adays - it is more want, more comfort, etc, but without values
