Beautiful. Felt like sharing
Exceptional in today's world ...
Where to Stop is Satisfaction
I really enjoy "Kaun Banega Crorepati," a show that blends intelligence and entertainment. It adds to my knowledge, and I feel very happy whenever my answers are correct. In a recent episode, Neeraj Saxena was the fastest to answer in the "Fastest Finger" round and took the hot seat. He sat very calmly, without shouting, dancing, crying, raising his hands, or hugging Amitabh. Neeraj is a scientist, a Ph.D., and a Vice-Chancellor of a university in Kolkata. He has a pleasant and simple personality. He considers himself fortunate to have worked with Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and mentioned that initially, he thought only about himself, but under Kalam's influence, he began thinking about others and the nation as well.
Neeraj started playing. He used the audience poll once, but since he had the "Double Dip" lifeline, he got the chance to use it again. He answered all the questions with ease, and his intelligence was impressive. He won ₹3,20,000 and an equivalent bonus amount, and then there was a break.
After the break, Amitabh announced, "Let's proceed, Dr. Sahab. Here comes the eleventh question..." Just then, Neeraj said, "Sir, I would like to quit." Amitabh was surprised. Someone playing so well, with three lifelines still left, and a good chance to win a crore (₹1,00,00,000), was quitting? He asked, "This has never happened before..."
Neeraj calmly replied, "Other players are waiting, and they are younger than me. They should also get a chance. I have already won a lot of money. I feel 'what I have is enough.' I do not desire more." Amitabh was stunned, and there was a moment of silence. Then, everyone stood up and applauded him for a long time. Amitabh said, "We have learned a lot today. It is rare to see a person like this."
To be honest, it is the first time I have seen someone with such an opportunity before them, who thinks about others getting a chance and considers what they have as more than enough. I mentally saluted him.
Today, people are only chasing money. No matter how much they earn, there is no satisfaction, and the greed never ends. They are losing out on family, sleep, happiness, love, and friendship while chasing money. In such times, people like Dr. Neeraj Saxena come as a reminder. In this age, satisfied and selfless people are hard to find.
After he quit the game, a girl took the hot seat and shared her story: "My father threw us out, including my mother, just because we are three daughters. Now, we live in an orphanage..."
I thought, if Neeraj had not quit, being the last day, no one else would have gotten a chance. Because of his sacrifice, this poor girl got an opportunity to earn some money. In today's world, people are not ready to give up even a single penny from their inheritance. We see fights and even murders over it. Selfishness is rampant. But this example is an exception.
God resides in humans like Neeraj, who think about others and the country. I will never forget this great person in my life. I am happy to have had the chance to write about such a unique personality today.
When your needs are fulfilled, you should stop and give others a chance. Let go of selfishness, and everyone will be happy. This is the lesson I learned. I have always admired such individuals and believe that writing honestly about them is necessary for the betterment of society.
