Inspire to Innovate Storytelling Movement- Letter to Student Series Volume 1 Issue 10

My Dear Student Friends,

Greetings!

This is Dr. Ravi Saripalle, Founder, Inspire to Innovate (i2i) Storytelling Movement. Welcome to “Letter to Student Series- Volume 1 and Issue 10”. Hope you enjoyed reading my previous letter. These letters are reaching all corners of our country, for one good cause, spreading Inspiring stories of amazing people. Why should you read these letters? What you will gain from this mission? Answer is simple. Stories of amazing people enable our dreams. They set path for our prosperous life. Sometimes, they erase inhibitions in our mind. Sometimes, they soften our hearts, sometimes harden for good mission. Sometimes, act as torch bearers. Sometimes, help us live on the ground. Sometimes, give us hope and courage to raise our flag. Sometimes, cut short our shortcomings. Sometimes, increase our risk appetite. The beauty is they act like medicinal pills based on our deficiency and need. Hope you agree with me.

In the previous issue, we discussed about the importance of giving back, an incident between Herbert Hoover and Ignacy Jan Paderewski, an amazing P C Musthafa's rags- to-riches entrepreneurial journey, a school going girl, Lavanya, how she created impact to build toilets in her entire village, how Shashank Singh Kachwaha is trying to help building pond in water scarce Rajasthan, Gabrielle Diamanti’s solar powered saline water purifier and so on.

Recently I was reading an article on Millap.org regarding Ashok Deshmane, 26 year old software engineer, from Parbhani district of Marathwada, who faced hardships in his childhood due to poverty, now got settled in life, but not his spirit. Ashok started an NGO, Snehwan, adopted more than 20 kids (8-15 age group) of families in which the farmers committed suicides due to pestering drought and surmounting debts. Today he is providing food, accommodation and education beyond books and school so that next generation farmers are ready to serve our nation. Thanks to Millap, which is helping in raising funds, Ashok's work is helping in healing the wounds of those families affected, distressed and ruined. Thank you Ashok. We encourage your good work.

In similar mission, A school dropout from Bangalore, Shivakumar feeding thousands of people (poor, orphanages, old age homes and so on) with leftover wedding food. Most of the times, this leftover food gets dumped in the garbage. Shivakumar found a noble destination to this leftover food. With his efforts, today he receives phone calls from all over city, to collect leftover food. Thanks to yourstory.com for covering this wonderful mission of Shivakumar. He estimates that minimum 100-150 people sufficient food gets wasted in every function. This class 10 dropout acts like a Sabari in Ramayana, tastes food before he packs it up. He wishes to construct cold storage capacity to keep food for 10000 people. Recently, on Akshaya Tritiya, the most auspicious day, he received 120 phone calls and distributed food to 28000 slum dwellers. What kind of magnanimous heart Shivakumar has!

In this context, I would like to share a wonderful story which I read it from my facebook posting. I don't know the source of the story. Once a man was walking on scorching desert. He was walking, walking and walking but could not able to find any water footprint in the vicinity. He is moving towards water ponds, but after reaching there, they turned out to be mirage. He is getting tired and dire need of water. After few kilometers of walking, he found a village. His spirits raised. He walked to an abandoned house. He found an unused boring pump. He started pumping, pumping and pumping. He lost all his sweat but no drop of water came out. He lost the hope and decided to witness his death next morning. Suddenly, he saw a bottle of water in the corner. Immediately, he grabbed it. He was trying to open the cap but was failing. It was extremely tight. He found a letter hanging to the bottle. It was written that "pour this bottled water into the pump, then do the hand pumping, you will get water". He was in a dilemma. If he pours this little water into the pump and later if he could not able to fetch water, he immediately loses his body. However, he drinks the little water available now and walks for some more time, anyways he will die next day. He thought thoroughly, finally left the decision to Lord. With the divine intervention, he got intelligence and made him to pour water into the pump. Then he did hand pumping, and fetched gallons of water from the bore pump! He drank enough, excess, stored in bottles and moved in his journey. He thanked Lord for the divine intelligence provided. The moral of this story is "when you want to take something from someone, you first create a habit of giving someone". God makes sure, you will receive it in some useful form. Hope you agree with me.

My dear student friends, summer vacation is getting completed. Hope you are getting ready for next academic year in your school / college / University. Welcome! You all need to work hard, think smart and bring value to your life. Every minute is a wonderful opportunity to you. Gift in your life. Don't waste time and energy. Don't lose heart and despair. Remember, You are always on advantage position than some other disadvantage. Time is precious. Once utilized, you cannot bring it back. In this context, I would like to share few stories of the committed students who are struggling to go to school every day due to their disadvantaged locations. Recently I was viewing a YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGwcqdzw-jo), that should send shivers down your spine. What an amazing students they are! As per the video, The most remote school in the world is located in Gulu, China. Students take 5 hours journey into deep mountains on a 1 feet wide path, is most unusual and risky school journey! In another case ( Zhang Jiawan Village), students take unsecured wooden ladders to reach mountain top and reach school. Some kids in our Himalayan region (near Zanskar), kids travel boarding schools crossing icy Himalayan ranges. In Indonesia (Lebak), kids cross a damaged suspension bridge, crossing river to reach school. In Colombia, kids are flying 800 meters on a steel cable which is 400 meters above the Rio Negro River. In an extreme ride case, kids in Pili, China take 125 mile Journey to their Boarding School through mountains (http://www.gosocial.co/18-of-the-most-unusual-and-dangerous-routes-to-school-in-the-world/). In India, everyday many students in remote villages cross streams, rivers, pass through jungles and reach schools. We need salute to these students and teachers. Hats off to these people taking this unsecured routes and enriching their knowledge. Dear Friends, if you are one among them, I really hats off to you. if you are privileged to reach school smoothly, you must do something big and create an impact in the society. Hope you got my message. Hope you will work on your mission.

In this connection, I would like to share another inspiring story of Dr. Achyuta Samanta, founder of KIIT University, Orissa. When Dr Achyuta was 4 years old, his father expired in tragic train accident. He is having 7 siblings (eldest 17 years old and youngest 1 month baby during that time). There are no savings as father was working as petty worker in industry. They moved to remotest village and lived in extreme poverty, often skipping meals. This boy voluntarily helped mother by doing some menial jobs. In spite of this condition, he used to save few coins and share with his fellow friends. This boy used to walk 8 kilometers and reach high school. Finally after great struggle, he could able to complete Masters in Chemistry. He used to do job and run private tutoring to support his family and needy friends, ignoring his personal comforts for almost 10 years. Finally this young inspiring man, established Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) and Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS) with mere 5000 rupees in rented building. At this juncture, due to surmounting loans (2.5 million rupees), he faced extreme struggle. By the god's mercy, he could able to march forward and face these odds. Today this university became abode for more than 25000 students across the globe and helping more than 25000 poor students in terms of free education, free residential and boarding facility. This small institute started with mere 5000 rupees indirectly became hope for more than 1 million people and aiming towards 10 million people by 2020! He still lives in rented 2-bed room and not having any personal belongings. He remained as bachelor to bring smiles in many children. He received multiple civilian awards and 31 degrees of doctorate/ Doctor of Letters from different universities across India and abroad. Dr. Achyuta Samanta got elected as General President (2017-18) of 105^th Indian Science Congress. What an inspiring story! We need to learn wonderful lesson from this personal experience! Do you agree my dear students? (http://www.achyutasamanta.com/biodata.html)

Couple of Years back, I read an article in indiatoday about Manoj Machra, a resident of Amarsar village, Churu district, 250 km from Jaipur, who was born with no hands, uses his toes to write his answer papers, secured 78% in secondary examination and cleared upper primary examination with 86%. He proved his academic excellence despite of being disabled. What an amazing person Manoj! He worked hard and practiced to write using his left leg. We wish him to succeed in his aspirations (want to take up legal services profession) and thank indiatoday for publishing such an inspirational story. God bless Manoj and fulfill his aspirations.

In similar mission, Dhaval Khatri who lost both his both hands at the age of 14, also asked to leave school, took life seriously, continued his education and worked passionately towards playing guitar and painting. Finally he became world-class painter and made 300+ paintings till date. While he was flying with kites, accidently his hands held onto an electric wire and both hands got amputated. His mother made him to practice of holding pen or pencil. Later he started learning sketching and painting. He started learning on this own as many of the institutes rejected his case. Now he received orders from all over world. He teaches us "there is no word called Impossible" and reminding us to do much bigger wonders! Do you agree my dear friends! Wish you all the best Dhaval Khatri and Thank you thebetterindia.com for spreading positive stories! Keep posting and inspire all of us.

My Dear Friends, Hope you found useful reading these inspirational stories! Inspire through storytelling, Innovate for Life turning! This is the mission of this program. If you find any inspiring story, please do share with me. I will include in my next letter. If you have done anything amazing, please share it with me. Friends, I appreciate your valuable time.

With Best Wishes

Inspire to Innovate Storytelling Movement Letter to Student Series- Volume 1 and Issue 9

My Dear Student Friends,

Greetings!

This is Dr. Ravi Saripalle, Founder, Inspire to Innovate (i2i) Storytelling Movement. Welcome to “Letter to Student Series- Volume 1 and Issue 9”. Hope you enjoyed reading my previous letter. These letters are reaching almost all districts across our country- North to South & East to West, for one good cause, Inspire to Innovate. Your time is most valuable. I truly respect your time. What is the benefit you will get reading these letters? These letters are written in epistolary form and presenting most wonderful people experiences, products and progress. Often these experiences answer our questions. They sprout curiosity. These letters nurture our critical thinking. They promise our wishes. Sometimes, these letters bring smile, sometimes boil our blood, sometimes becomes torchbearer but for sure, raises our hope. Hope you agree with me.

In the previous issue, we discussed about City Pride School at Nigdi Pradhikaran in Pimpri- Chinchwad (how they are saving water innovatively), Rajendra Singh, water man of India, Manoj Bhargava, who is working on technical innovations for social cause, Dr. Peter Morgan, who contributed towards water technology and sanitation, Yuichi Katsuura, who developed Bicycle type water purifying system, Dr.Bindeshwar Pathak, an Indian sociologist, founder of Sulabh International. They are amazing people. They created wonderful and impact stories and created conceptual path for vision setting in us. Can you imagine yourselves in their shoes? What if, you are able to create your own similar impact story and create an opportunity to the whole world to read, hear and learn from you! What kind of experience that could be? Please think about it.

Before I start my story messages, I would like to acknowledge couple of responses received from the esteemed i2iSM letter series readers. Recently I received a wonderful mail response from a first year student named Shivam Kumar of BITS Pilani (Pilani Campus). Shivam says, he reads i2iSM letters and also pens his own blog. I read his posts. Shivam seems very inspiring student! At this young age, his thinking is matured. In one of the posts, he advices JEE aspirants on time management, in another post, he appeal students and parents to follow heart but not market trend. He advices not to become jack of all trades but masters of none. He appeals not to entangle into rat race and lose your original natural intelligence and talent. I really thank and wish Shivam for inspiring students through his ink. His blog can be accessed at shivam319bitspilani.wordpress.com. In another response, I received a call from Prof.Dr.P.Geervani, former Vice Chancellor of Mahila University, Tirupati and trustee, Chinmaya Mission, Hyderabad. We had constructive discussion. Madam gave me wonderful suggestions and concur that these letters can be great tool for maximizing learning process. Teachers can use these stories to begin class and make teaching-learning process most productive. Thank you madam for your esteemed vision and inviting me to conduct physical workshop at your institutions.

World is wonderful place. What goes out usually comes back! Wonderful quote right? Recently I found fantastic story of Herbert Hoover and Ignacy Jan Paderewski at www.tkstories.in. Hoover, when he was 18 years old, he was struggling to pay fees at Stanford. He was poor and orphan. Hoover along with friends decided to conduct musical concert, earn money and pay fees. They approached famous pianist Paderewski to conduct concert and took loan of $2000 from him to organize the same. Concert was successful but they were able to raise only $1600 through tickets and short of $400 in loan amount itself. What about paying fees? Being honest and genuine, They paid $1600 and cheque of $400 to Paderewski. A kind hearted Paderewski tore the cheque, returned $1600 and asked them to give the amount left after paying fees. Later Paderewski became Prime Minister of Poland. During world war, Poland got devastated. Paderewski reached US Food and Relief Administration for help. The head of the department was Herbert Hoover. What a surprise! Hoover helped in such crisis and saved people from starving. Infact later Herbert Hoover became President of America as well. Paderewski personally visited America to thank Hoover. In that conversation, Hoover said, "Mr. Prime Minister, long back you helped 2 young boys, I am one of them"! What a cycle? Every action has some reaction. It is true example of this philosophy. The message is clear. Any help you do, becomes return gift!

Often we become complacent after achieving something and receiving rewards. But it is fact that if we don't take risks in that moment, rewards get reversed! We need to strive hard. It is always tight rope walk. There is no reward for complacency. Recently I was reading about P C Musthafa in www.rediff.com. Musthafa born in poor family (Wayanad, Kerala) and struggled a lot during his early life. Had to walk 4 kilometers during his high school days. Father works as coolie, mother is an illiterate and having 4 siblings. Failed in Class 6 (no electricity at home) and lost interest in studies. However, that point of time, his mathematics teacher Mr. Mathew counseled, inspired and mentored. He got first in Class 7 and records continued. As he is coming from village background, he faced difficulty in English. With the help of friend, he managed to learn. You know what? He got 63^rdrank in state engineering entrance. Joined NIT Calicut, campus placed Manhattan Associates, later worked for Motorala, travelled to Ireland, later joined Citibank Dubai, cleared Loans, sent 1 Lakh to his father (cascade of successful events). Father cleared all debts and made arrangements for sisters marriage. Musthafa built home for parents, returned India to live with parents. Quit well paying job, wrote CAT and got into IIMB. He wants to do something on his own. His entrepreneurial mind made him unrest to do something novel. Started small business (supplying dosa batter to hotels- Name of the company- ID Fresh) along with his cousins. Started with 10 packets per day and in 9 months, reached 100 packets a day. After MBA, joined as CEO, increased capacity to 3500Kg per day, and by 2015, reached 50,000 packets a day with 1100 employees in 10 years time frame and crossed 1 billion rupees (100 crores) revenue!! This live story is so inspiring to many of us! Mr. Musthafa is not just teaching us entrepreneurship, but it is more than that. He is teaching us the sense of responsibility as son. He is teaching us how life has to be designed inspite of hardships, he is teaching us how risks are rewarded when you are sincere in your approach, he is teaching us the importance of inspiring teacher in our life, value of mentoring, respect towards great teachers, he is teaching us how you can give back to your country. I really thank rediff.com for publishing such an inspiring story. Today in our society, we are forgetting our basic responsibilities as son or daughter. Taking care of parents not just responsibility, but it is beyond. Students are taking extreme steps in the event of failures. I am truly inspired to write this story to remind of duties, managing life and converting problems to rewards!

I would like to share another inspiring story of a school going girl. Recently I received a forwarded mail of UNICEF India, in the context of success of Swachh Campaign. UNICEF lauded the committed effort of school going girl, Lavanya, from the village called Sira in Karnataka. After attending an awareness campaign on Swachh Bharat Mission, made 48-hour hunger protest at home, compelled his family to build toilet in her home and inspired entire village to get one. What an amazing commitment of Lavanya. If India blessed with 100s of such wonderful daughters, no force can stop our progress. Thank you UNICEF for posting this inspiring message and wish Lavanya to continue her positive spirit for different causes.

In this context, I would like to share my own experience with a college going student. I was trying to inspire one boy with various stories. After hearing all the stories, he told me I am too young to start something what I wish. I will do something great after I settle in life. I cannot blame this boy because, 20 years back I was also thinking like this. This is traditional middle class growth mindset. After my college, I joined Wipro Technologies, got into wonderful assignments, travelled few countries, received decent remuneration. 10 years back itself, I was thinking quit my job to start Inspire to Innovate Storytelling Movement, but I was unable to take huge risk. My family consists of mother, wife and 2 kids. Family did not have any history of quitting comfortable jobs and venture into unknown territory. However, in 2008, my fever sore high. Something I have to do in life. That point of time, I read a quote from unknown source, which connected to my heart. I want to share with you, which has lot of meaning. Once there was boy asking a wise man, which is the best day to pray Lord? Wise man tells, the day before you die! Boy asks, how do I know that day? Wise man replies, hence Start from Today. Tomorrow is not ours. In 2 years time, I gathered courage to quit job as my wife gave me emotional and financial support, returned back to my home town, Vizianagaram, AP. Couple of years I was going school to school, college to college, alerting the importance of inspire to innovate in the institutions. Few of the appreciated, few of them implemented, few of them are not yet ready. GVP College of Engineering (A), Vizag recognized the importance of this movement and funding me till date. What I am trying to say, when you hit the bottom with force, you are bound to raise high (Newton's third law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction). Calculated risks are always healthy in our life. Fluke risks are dangerous. We should able to differentiate calculated risk and accidental risk and take risk accordingly. In such situations, good inspiring stories help us in differentiation and decisions. I wish you give deep thinking and take calculated risk in your life accordingly.

This scorching 2016 summer is touching 45^o to 50^otemperature in many parts of the country. Ground water levels are depleting to core. Water is becoming scarce product. Working for this cause is always noble and visionary. In this connection, I would like to share an article posted in thebetterindia.com. 25-year-old Shashank Singh Kachwaha, who studied mechanical engineering, working with Hero Cycles, quit his well paying job and started working on building a pond in Chota Naraina village located in the Ajmer district of Rajasthan. Shashank found that four ponds in the village were not being utilized (either broken or no water). He identified catchment area for pond so that rain water can be captured. No machines, no heavy equipment used but it is done completely with the help of people power. It is completed owned by community. He could able to convince villagers, gained their trust, won their hearts and built the pond. After this project completion, Shashank, hailing from Bihar, wanted to go back to his home state and participate in rural development programs. Best wishes Shashank in your future endeavors and Thank you betterindia.com for posting positive stories and inspiring people.

Recently thelogicalindian.com posted an article on most needy product which world is looking for - A product which converts saltwater to drinking water using Sunlight. In our childhood, we heard this ryme by ancient mariner (Samuel Taylor Coleridge): Water, water, everywhere, And all the boards did shrink; Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink. India is having long coastline of 7,517 km. Inspite of this, there is acute shortage of freshwater including in costal areas. Gabrielle Diamanti’s solar powered saline water purifier is one good solution to solve this crisis. It is personal desalination device requires no fuel, no electricity and no maintenance. This can be devised with readily available material like ceramic. It purifies about five liters of water per day and costs less than $50. Thank you Gabrielle Diamanti’s for your social innovation and logicalindian for publishing. World is looking for people like Gabrielle who solves basic problems in constrained environment and maximizes utility. Sometime back McKinesey published an article- More from less! Infact SRISTI (Society for Research and Initiatives for Sustainable Technologies and Institutions) announced an award called MLM ( More from less for Many). My Dear Student friends, if you have any such ideas, please submit your proposal. If you want to know more about it, visit gyti.techpedia.in/aboutus.

My Dear Friends, Hope you found useful reading these inspirational stories! Hope you got inspired to do good for better society! Inspire, Inspire and Inspire!!! Friends, I appreciate your valuable time. I will again see you in my next letter. Thank you for giving me this great opportunity to write to you and help me to learn, unlearn and relearn in this process. I personally thank all websites, authors who are publishing / writing such an inspiring stories for common good and contributing for better world. Thank you Authors and Websites.
