Today was a strange day in my life......
I was working on Campus at Stevens Institute of Technology and like every other day i was quite engrossed in my work ......
Suddenly at around 11 am ..a very dynamic and charismatic personality walked in Dean's office and asked me for the appointment...( He was Indian but it clearly reflected that he was in US from quite a long time).. I requested him to wait for 10 minutes and after 10 minutes he met Dr. Ken Neilsen ( Dean at Stevens Tech)...
After the meeting which lasted 35-40 minutes , he walked out from the office ...but before leaving he handed me his Business card and I was Stunned to recognize him ( He is one of best Chef in World and among top 10 in USA )....He was no one else but Mr Vikas Khanna......I was happy as well as stunned ......My conversation with Dean gave me insights that he was awarded the NEWYORKER Trophy last year by President BUSH......
I was so elated and I am looking forward to work or help him in his huge foundation of providing vision to visualy impaired children......
I really liked his Quote "
"Disability is the inability to see ability."
"Water is one of the basic needs of survival of mankind and water can destroy it too. That is the power of NATURE. But there is an even more powerful dimension of NATURE which is a blessing to humans; courage, intelligence, compassion and the power to stand again"
