What is your advice relating to Mahatma Gandhi's childhood and his mother's teachings and how would you relate it to in the modern context?

I think what was important is the lesson that Mohan learnt from his childhood from watching his parents both his father and his mother was of not cutting corners and the realisation that  if you took a shortcut then what you achieved will also compromise. If you found the journey to be very precarious and difficult and you found an easy way out, you lost out on the pleasure of having striven to achieve that objective and that objective itself become valueless after sometime and you start craving for something else and you start looking for a shortcut and that is what happens to us today in this mad rat race that we enter into right from childhood in which we are told, is life. Life is not a rat race. We are human beings for a reason otherwise we would all have been rats who would have been struggling around to just eat and propagate. We are human beings because we are supposed to achieve far greater things and we are supposed to strive hard for that, not give up just because it's difficult, not find a shortcut, not compromise so that we can be ahead of others, not cheat.

As a leader of the team, Mahatma Gandhi did not say that everybody else is wrong and that is why everything has gone wrong. He said that I have a weakness and the result is a cause of that weakness. This is what is required by us to understand that every action and it's result, we are to be held responsible. If we start holding ourselves responsible and we look inwards to it, we will achieve far greater things than we indulge in a brain game and say everybody else is wrong and that;s why everything is failing.
