Youngsters honoured for creativity

The children and youngsters were thrilled to their core to find a real life hero in the form of flying Sikh among them at the Burning Brain Society annual awards function. Thirty seven creative and talented youngsters received their prizes from Padma shri Milkha Singh.

Speaking on the occasion, Milkha Singh said that there is no shortcut to hard work if one wants to achieve success in life. Mr. Singh exerted upon the students to have a firm belief in oneself and to lead a disciplined life to achieve excellence. Mr. Milkha Singh rued that India could not produce another athlete of international repute for the last 50 years despite now there being much more incentives now. Youngsters showed lot of interest and asked questions from Milkha Singh about his life and achievements which he most willingly answered. Even after the function was over the youngsters still kept on insisting him for a photograph or an autograph on their certificates and has scores of questions for him.

Mr. Hemant Goswami, chairperson of Burning Brain Society said that the ways of the government were strange as it fails to recognise real life heroes and believe in just making phoney noise. The Government must use the positive qualities and talents of real national heroes to motivate and streamline the energies of the youngsters as at the end of the day it’s not petty politics or dummy pretences or sham concerns which will make India great, but only rightly spent creative energies, real efforts and true innovations which will transform India into a great country, for which it has the potential, added Goswami. Look up to real life heroes for emulation and selecting your role models instead of the false heroes and movie stars was the message of Mr. Hemant to the youngsters.
