#i3 Story 1 : From the verge of being drop out to being SU"RAJ"..!!
Rejections started early in his life. He was rejected by music
teacher to teach him music because he was 4 yrs. That’s when his dad took an
initiative to learn music himself just to teach his son.!! Dad was a super hero
for him & his two elder sisters who also went on to do masters & PhD in
music. As a kid, he was fortunate enough to have given performances alongside
legend like Late.Raju Ananthaswamy. As a growing kid, he was inspired by RSS
(Rastriya Seva Sangha) to do a lot for the nation.
Having learnt to play 9-10
different musical instruments by the age of 20,it was a regular affair for him
to be a part of musical shows throughout South India. Fear of being dropped out
from regular academics on one side to the excitement of being multi-tasked
musician on the other side along side had a dream pursuing his masters &
setting up his school were on his mind too. Having been all these, his eyes
were in search of a platform that can actually show him a path to become
a LEADER.
He understood the importance of
having a platform & mentors in life. He dint hesitate to cancel two of his
musical shows in Pune to be a part of "i3" platform. First few weeks
he was a silent observer. It was after the fifth conference, getting
inspired by Mr.Ashok Shankar Rathod , he kick started his projects in a
massive way. Numerous projects were executed to reach out to thousands &
thousands of underprivileged people. He was featured in regional news channel -
Public TV. On the other side, his father wasn't aware of all these. His father
thought his son has got spoilt & hence reaches home late night. They
couldn't speak to each other for 6 weeks.
The most memorable moment of
his life happened in final felicitation conference where he never
expected his family to be there. His MJ dance performance was a shocker
for his dad as his dad always hated western dance. Crowd is thrilled on one
side & dad was boiling on the other side. One by one , delegates were
called on stage to facilitate & his name wasn't called till the end. His
father looked at him which had a meaning that told "you are fit for
nothing".
5 names of True IUITES were to
be announced. Heartbeats raised to peaks. His hands went cold. First name ,
second name, third name....nothing seemed to be his name. He stopped looking at
his father who was next to him bcoz he lacked courage to face him. Voice that
came out of mike sounded the name 'SURAJ'. He ran on to stage from in b/w the
roars of the crowd and from stage he mustered enough courage to see his dad's eye
from the top. His Dad's eyes were controlling to hold the tears that spoke
"I know you are my son & am proud of having given you birth". Dad
couldn't control his tears and he went behind everyone in the crowd to see the
glory of his son. Entire family of his was invited to come on stage to receive
True IUITE certificate from International Speaker & Serial Entrepreneur
Mr.Sujit Lalwani. Only 5 from the entire Bangalore were awarded with True
IUITES position. Suraj is one of them. He is currently pursuing his dream & on his achieve many more things in life.
Hundreds of students in Bangalore are dreaming & working hard to see their parents' eyes to be filled with happiest tears.
I wish to see your parents' also get such happiness every now & then.....
Get inspired by him @ 07829 214 651
