My Real Heroes

I got 5 days vacation from my college this diwali and came to my native place as i always come when there is holiday. When I was searching on indiblogger and saw the topic my mind goes back to my past diving into the deep ocean of memories. I think the topic of this Tata program (#madeofgreat) is the one of the most deciding factor of everyone's life. When I look back into my past I see many people who directly or indirectly were responsible for making me today.
When I think deeply I realized that it is impossible to choose any one from my list who is icon for me and who influences my life. No doubt my mother is my first icon, she is my first teacher. Really she is made of great. In every situation my mother always stands with me and gives me confidence to stand in front of any difficulties of life. Same is the case with my father. My father is very nice and royal person; they always support me in every activity. It is not possible for me to explain the feelings in word about my mother and father. My grandfather was also a fantastic person who always cares for me. My grandfather teaches me exercises such as Surya namaskar which helps me to stay fit and healthy.
During my young age, my grandfather always took me to the local library where I read Champak, Chandoba, Thaktak, Chawa, Kishor etc where I meet many fantastic superheroes. Lots of my jungle friends such as kind cow, Brilliant Rabbit, Sincere donkey, Hardworking ants and lots many meet me through Champak and Chandoba. I was imagining as if I was present there during all the happenings of the stories. These books changes my way of thinking completely. On every weekends I saw cartoons on DD1 such as Mogli, DuckTales, Captain Vyom, Balchitrawani, Shaktiman, Aryaman, Disney etc which where my favorite programs. My superheros are Shaktiman who always stands against the bad things in the world. My superhero is Mogli who cares for the forest and all animals and birds of the jungle. My superhero is Captain Vyom who fight against furious and deadly 12 monsters who escapes from the jail and where very dangerous for entire galaxy. I miss all of them now and think, “Can it be possible to reverse the time?, Is it possible to stop the clock and stay with our loved ones for infinite period of time?”. You can’t imagine that I collected all the episodes of Jungle book and watching them frequently.
When I enter into my school age, my superhero where Shivaji Maharaj who fight against huge and dangerous army of Mughals, Nijam, Aadilshah etc to save the peoples from Maharashtra. My Hero where Arjun who hits eye of the bird during the archery practice. My hero where Laxmanrao Kirloskar who manufautured our first own iron ploughs which helps our farmer a lot. My hero where Jamsetji Tata who founded the Tata Group and started "Swadeshi" industry in India.
The list is endless; we all meet someone special in our life journey who impacts on our thought process drastically. I think all those who directly or indirectly came in my life where legend for me and are made of great. It is not possible for me to decide any one from these huge list as my Hero. Who I am today is because of all of these heroes.

    Here is my answer
    The association of Tata Motors with Lionel Messi is that of two greats. Lionel Messi has been exceptionally talented who with his hard work, determination and sacrifices has got better and tougher in his chosen sport so is the Image, reputation and quality of TATA Motors that have transformed brilliant ideas into masterpieces of engineering and created a brand and products that we are so proud of as Indians.

  8. Indeed, everyone whom you mentioned are heroes and #madeofgreat in their own fields. As kids we make superheroes out of ficticious characters, but as we grow up, we realize that superheroes are not made, they be.
    As for this association of Tata Motors with Lionel Messi, this partnership marks the association of masters in their fields. I think this association will have a great impact on their goals.

  9. Your post defines #madeofgreat to the hilt. Goodluck for the contest
    My answer is:
    Authenticity, reliability, simplicity, as well as its commitment to innovation are the pillars of strength on which TATA have built a brand that has put India on the global map. It is a brand that has stood the test of time just like Lionel Messi who tackles opposition on the field with his skill,agility,strategy,brilliance and raw power to reach and score a goal so has been the track record of TATA motors who has become a brand leader and a global giant. These qualities make TATA Motors and Lionel Messi perfect partners who stand for the same set of values thus Lionel Messi is the perfect brand ambassador to represent TATA Motors.

  10. Though you have written very well but I am now really confused on one personality that who is made of great (one Hero) since you have mentioned it a lot. :D Anyhow, I will consider one of them as I like without finalizing.

    BTW, Messi and Tata - both are popular one worldwide and both of them are expertise in their filed and serving for their career and reputation of the country. This pair is absolutely fantastic to go beyond the miles. Good luck for them.

  11. Your post defines #madeofgreat to the hilt.Very well written and interesting post indeed.
    My Answer
    Tata Motors is a brand that makes durable vehicles, with its MADE IN INDIA mark makes every Indian proud. It is a brand seen globally as Trusted, Reliable, Innovative and at the forefront of technology. In its journey since inception it has overcome all odds, competition, and adversities with grit and determination. These same qualities are associated with Lionel Messi who was very talented and hardworking from a very early age. With each game that he played he kept improving his skills and built a career to become one of the best player of professional football. There qualities make both TATA Motors and Lionel Messi giants who perfectly compliment each other and Lionel Messi the right and perfect Ambassador who stands for the same values that TATA Motors does.

    Here is my answer.
    Like minds think and act alike looking at the track record of TATA Motors it has stood the test of time and built a business that was built using bricks of hard work on a foundation of trust. Authenticity, reliability, simplicity, as well as its commitment to innovation are the trademarks of brand TATA Motors. These same qualities are present in Lionel Messi who with his immense talent has made a mark for himself on the international football field .Facing all hardships he has worked hard toiling on the fields and in training sessions facing injuries and pressure to come out trumps and be a winner. Thus these two greats Lionel Messi and TATA Motors are made for each other .There association is a bond of two legends

  13. Tata Motors' association with Lionel Messi spells a significantly notable alliance that will steer the company towards favourable benefits. I always acknowledge Tata Motors as a distinctive name in Auto industry, which will not let the success 'larger-than life' elude from its fate now with a timeless guild with iconic figure Messi. I don't see this union of Tata Motors as an aspirational effort for garnering some quick publicity and evoke specific reaction from myriad crowd with Celeb branding, but is rightly an embellished handshake for keeping up the pace to get to the pinnacle of success graph. To sum things up, I am joyous to see the brand and the star uniting for 'One in a Million' #madeofgreat power-packed drive ahead :)

  14. Yours is a very well written post your .Its is a very nice description of #madeofgreat
    TATA Motors is a brand associated with performance, endurance and excellence. These words are also synonymous with Lionel Messi who plays as a forward and weaves his magic on the football field.Just as Lionel Messi is considered the best footballer in the world ,TATA motors which is Indias premier automotive manufacturer gives wheels to the people of India with its wide range of vehicles. Both believe in excelling in whatever they do and set examples for others to follow. They compliment each other as both are reliable trustworthy and leaders thus Lionel Messi is the natural choice as the brand ambassador of TATA Motors

  15. Such a well written post! As for my thoughts,here they go-

    Inspiration,
    Dedication,
    Discipline,
    Commitment,
    Trust,
    Loyalty,
    Excellence,
    Legacy,
    Immortality.

    These are not mere words but a part of our soul. Not just the ones that we carry around in our individual bodies but that supreme soul that binds us all together in this universe. That is why we teach our children values and morals so that these little pockets of our souls do not die away. But when we look around at our modern day lifestyle and society,it leaves a lot to be desired, right? Wrong :) I would say,as long as we have even 1 shred of humanity left,there is a ray of sunshine and that is what we see here.

    I am inspired by your story just as I am inspired by the stories of Tata Motors and Lionel Messi. As I said above about humanity and ray of sunshine, it is very few icons left in this world who make me feel that way. Both Tata and Messi definitely make it to this short list.

    When we talk about Tata Motors,we talk about the pride that every Indian feels because this is our truly global brand, a brand with a soul, with every product made to help us fly. This is a corporate behemoth that has not amassed its fortunes at the cost of the little man but by being a part of the very grassroots. The legacy of excellence and giving back to the society selflessly is so ingrained in Tata DNA that it has become part of folklore. Even today,in any Indian home, the moment a son/daughter gains employment in a Tata company, nobody talks about salary or CTC, they just thank their lucky stars that they are a part of Tata family. The very soul of India resides in Tata. Tata Motors has taken these very same values global, making Indians proud of what they represent. 'Look,we represent excellence, with a dollop of old world values, with love and respect' !

    When we look at Messi, we see a boy with dreams in his eyes and a man who has put everything he had in making them come true, and he did! With singleminded focus,dedication and hardwork, he has managed to outdo every obstacle he faced since his birth personally, healthwise and family financial situation wise. Every obstacle became just another step for him to grow and reach up the sky. And still, every time he walks out on the field, he plays with the same agility, alarcity and a a hunger to prove himself as if it is his first game! He hasn't achieved his demi-God status without superhuman efforts.

    When these two demi-Gods of their respective fields come together, there are bound to be fireworks and that is exactly what it is! Purely from a corporate point of view, there are rare instances when we see such a perfect fit form. It can be called a divine sign that a symbol of vibrancy and dynamism like no other has taken shape with the partnership of Tata Motors and Lionel Messi. More than a mere advertising gambit,it is an amalgamation of those perhaps 'lost' values that the world needs more of,now more than ever. Maybe the Gods are finally happy!

  16. Glad to be a part of this journey, thanks for this beautiful post :)

    When it comes to impact and impacting millions of lives, Yes, we can see both Tata Motors and Lionel Messi being the pioneers here. While the very name Tata is enough to make us go back to all our history books where we have seen there hardly is a comparable name that has contributed so much to the society in such an ethical manner, the very name Messi conjures up images of a boy-man who has turned the world upside down with his talent, determination, discipline and never-give-up spirit. The compatibility between the values they both share is intense and that is the reason this partnership works perfectly.

    With a concern for the society at large,everything that Tata has done has inspired us to dream big, conquer the world and pour all our energy back into the society to do good and inspire good. By facing his demons, Messi has done the same. He enjoys a God-like status in the world today because he dared to dream, achieved the sky and still hasn't lost his humanity a bit. He is still a child at heart and he gives back with his multiple philanthropic activities just like Tata does!

    Talk to any person in India, ask them about the companies they admire the most. Tata is right there at the top. This name is beyond bottomline, spreadsheets, return on investment and share price. It is equivalent to soul of India-soft, kind, diverse, dynamic, eternal. Just like that Messi has emerged as not just another football player but someone whose very life is an inspiration, whose personal struggles are a template for others to emulate and who has morphed into an eternal legend.

    While it would take eons to write about what makes Tata Motors and Messi great, as their list of achievements is too long for us to even skim over, suffice to say that this partnership is for the ages. As they say, some things are made in heaven :)

    Thank you for this opportunity.
