They can conquer who believe they can, for nothing in this world is impossible to achieve.
I have a strong passion for the above statement because it tells us about belief and belief is a direct result of our thoughts. I have to evaluate a lot of people. During the course of the interview, I shoot a series of questions to evaluate the person & finally end up with a chart. The chart would have Knowledge ,Attitude, Skill & Habits written on it and the candidate has to prioritize the same. I would then evaluate the candidate based on his overall response. Those who prioritized Attitude as #1 choice are the ones who succeed in their career in a very short span of time.
The point here is I believe that Knowledge is acquired after we are born, Skill is learnt by seeing others, Habits are formed by our environment and surroundings. It is only Attitude that comes by birth and effects our Life by the way we choose to apply it on the other three factors. I have always appreciated the positive attitude that Sanju has shown through out his life ,be it turbulent time or happy times his approach has always been very positive and innovative. And I guess the guy at the Agra station also developed this attitude for his entire life and that one instance must have surely fixed up in his mind that goodness is still alive.

Anu, very many thanks for contributing!
As the D'day is around the corner when every guy dreams of a gal & every gal of getting a rose i would like to enlighten you with the truth behind this concept.
Men: Please take it with a large pinch of salt.
Women: Please do not take the message too literally and start wielding your Velans
Finally I am revealing the origin of the tradition :
In spite of what you have been told by everyone, the truth is that Valentine's Day originated hundreds of years ago, in India, and to top it all, in Gujarat!!
It is a well known fact that Gujarati men, specially the Patels, continually mistreat and disrespect their wives (Patelianis). One fine day, it happened to be the 14th day of February, one brave Pateliani, having had enough "torture" by her husband, finally chose to rebel by beating him up with a Velan (rolling pin i.e belan of North).
Yes....the same Velan which she used daily, to make chapattis for him....only this time, instead of the dough, it was the husband who was flattened. This was a momentous occasion for all Gujarati women and a revolt soon spread, like wild fire, with thousands of housewives beating up their husbands with the Velan.
There was an outburst of moaning "chapatti-ed" husbands all over Anand and Ahmedabad. The Patel men-folk quickly learnt their lesson and started to behave more respectfully with their Patelianis.
Thereafter, on 14th February, every year, the womenfolk of Gujarat would beat up their husbands, to commemorate that eventful day. The wives having the satisfaction of beating up their husbands with the Velan and the men having the supreme joy of submitting to the will of the women they loved.
Soon The Gujju men realised that in order to avoid this ordeal they need to present gifts to their wives....they brought flowers and sweetmeats.
Hence the tradition began.
As Gujarat fell under the influence of Western culture, that day was called 'Velan time' day.
The ritual soon spread to Britain and many other Western countries, specifically, the catch words 'Velan time!'. Of course in their foreign tongues, it was first anglicized to 'Velantime' and then to 'Valentine'.
And thereafter, 14th of February, came to be known as Valentine's Day!
HAPPY VELENTINE'S DAY TO ALL OF YOU
hmmmmm.... Don't know how far the velan story is true, offcourse very scary though. Now I understand why the gujju males are so gentle with wives.....a real eye opener.
