Last month my son Rajan wrote in face book – “Met a lady last night who runs a film school in Kibera - on the outskirts of Nairobi, one of the world's largest slums. There are people in the world doing remarkable things. Why isn't he one of them?”
For which his friend David Simon replied – “good question. You DO do amazing things rajan, perhaps not the kind of amazing thing you want to be doing! you might be under-estimating your amazing-ness too!”
And his cousin Prathamesh Karkal said – “Well I show off to my friends and colleagues that my cousin works in the PM's office! You are already doing something remarkable Rajan!”
That's what made me think about myself.
