A Brand New Hero-Deeru

Let me introduce a new character to you.. Deeru..
Have you heard this-
“Since light travels faster than sound,
some people may appear bright until you hear them SPEAK!!!”

This lines were just meant for Deeru. Before having an encounter with Deeru, I had gone through his profile.. My God!!! So many qualifications and work experience.. I was longing to meet him and to work under his guidance..

The very first meeting made me wonder if this is the same person whose profile I glanced through???

The way he talk, his pronunciation, everything had a local tone which I could associate to the ones we have heard in movies.. I kept ignoring my intuition..

Then happens an event in our organization.. For the prize distribution ceremony, Collector was invited. Collector before the ceremony wish to motivate the audience by his short speech. It was a gathering of hundreds of students. In between, to inspire the audience, he asked a question-“Do you know what is the distance between you and success?”. The whole audience went silent. I looked at the audience to check-Is there any brilliant one to answer this?

Suddenly, a hand got raised.. It was Deeru.. Then I felt- May be this is where the qualification and experience counts!!! Collector had a smile in his face. He asked Deeru to proceed..

Deeru with full confidence and in a childish voice shouted pointing his index finger up-
ONE FEET???

"WHAT???.. , !@#%^&*)()_+(Y&%$#@ " was the expression on Collector's face..

I burst to laughter…And many in the crowd were controlling theirs

And Collector controlling his laugh, answered-“ It’s the same distance between your thought and action”


The rest of the crowd understood the distance between them and success. Deeru still wonders "Why cant it be 1 feet?"
