Some stories make an interesting reading. Some gives you a jerk. Some make you to stand and ponder for a long time. It moves your heart, gives a lasting impact.
A recent article in Kumudam, a Tamil weekly gives the reader a fillip, an impetus to think about ourselves.
Nandakumar I.A.S. is such a story.
Many think I.A.S. is very difficult and possible for metro educated youth and enrolling in a Delhi Academy is a must.
All the myth has been shattered by Nandakumar He did not even attend the school.He worked as a mechanic, sold lottery tickets, did errand for the big mechanics in the shop, but had a deep desire to study.
He passed the eighth standard without attending school, but attending his job. X standard went on like this. He got admission in plus one in a subject where there were no takers in the subject.He did B.A.English Literature. His effort to secure an admission in some training academies for I A S has turned futile as they all shut the door for the lad .Then he planned, perspired,prepared and penned the exam and passed out with flying colors. Yes the doors of I A S has finally opened for him.
Now Mr. Nandakumar, I.A.S. is a Deputy Commissioner in Indian Revenue Service.
There is a Tamil couplet which says" A person's Greatness is proportionate to his mind." Thirukural 595 under the caption Energy.
