In the eyes of millions of his fellow Indians, Gandhi was the Mahatma “Great Soul”. The unthinking adoration of the huge crowds that gathered to see him all along the route of his tours made them a severe ordeal, he could hardly work during the day or rest at night. His fame spread worldwide during his lifetime and only increased after his death. Mahatma Gandhi revered the world over as one of history’s most transformative and inspirational figures. Throughout his life in South Africa and India, Gandhi was a fearless campaigner for the rights and dignity of all people, whose constant and unwavering promotion of non-violence as a tool to win over hearts and minds had forever left its mark on the world.

 Subhash Chandra Bose had called him ‘Father of the Nation’ in his message on Hind Azad Radio. Rabindranath Tagore addressed him as ‘Mahatma’ and the latter called the poet “Gurudev’.

Dil Chahta Hai : Movie 2001
A Dialogue – “ Aaj Pooja , kal koi dooja..”
From the above dialogue some lesson in regards to the investment can be learned.
Lesson: Don’t invest in products you don’t understand.
Be like Akash Malhotra (Amir Khan) when it comes to investing. He doesn’t believe in or understand love and hence, he refuses to be in a serious relationship. Only when he falls in love with Preity Zinta does he make any commitment. Do likewise. Unless you know, how a Ulip or thematic funds work, don’t put your money in them.
Lagaan : “ Dugna Lagaan Jabardasti nai hai ?  Bhar sake hai koi ? E Bipda nahi Mukhiya ji, ee hai mauka.”
Lesson: Don’t be forced to pay taxes or fees due to ignorance. Be like Bhuvan .
Learn and Act. You too be on the learning. Read up tax deductions, fees etc on banks, insurance charges etc.
