and then read this piece
(This is something I wrote to Oprah Winfrey about one of my inspirations - Matti J.T Stepanek )


One person can bring about Change
Though being from a country of Gandhi's - I said dude this ain't happening; you randomly don't decide that you will stand for peace and the world will follow? All this jazz until I got to know about this one being call Mattie J.T. Stephanek

Mattie said so& Jeni supported and we followed.

 I've just seen pictures, just heard his voice through videos and read his poems & i wonder what would have happened if we had a face to face conversation. He is a brother to me, the one being  for who i look up to the stars and smile; telling myself that he will be looking at the bloody world change into a better place through his ideas!
I wish i could have been there by his side when he wrote all of those 100 odd poems that inspire me and move me till date. You ask me for a story - I can give u novel ,as that is the impact and the power of the words that came out of his pen.
He's the reason the a stone in D.C has this on it
He wasn't your stereotypical hero and never will be, but for me he is my real life and superficial hero. The park in D.C is on my bucket list and full filling at least one of his desires is  NOW priority.
Love and Peace...-
Since he said It was possible'

  1. Good one... It's gr8 u have somebody to look up to, someone you draw inspiration from... coz not everybody has a role model... and definitely not a cute little kid who had a dream of changing the world (and we need it changed!).

    just one little thing... my apologies for that remark already... but can you replace "I wish i could have been there by his bed" with something like i wish i could have been beside him or with him or sumthing? the bed thing just startles the reader...
