I happened to watch snatches of the 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' episode where Sushil Kumar had won the prize money of Rs. 5 crores. To me it was a thrilling moment and I felt happy as though I was the winner!
A computer operator, earning a measly sum of Rs. 6,000/- per month, Sushil Kumar hails from Motihari of the Champaran district of Bihar. Disarmingly simple in his outlook towards life, in general, as gleaned from his conversation with Mr. Bachchan throughout the game show, one couldn't help but back him at every stage. His answers were logical and well thought out, showing that he is widely read and aware of so many things that many of us are ignorant of. His reaction at the end of it showed the child in him when he collected the spangles - showered upon him after his winning answer - from the ground and dabbed it all over his face!
His wife and brothers were studiously and elegantly subdued in their reactions. But the most fascinating thing is that the episode is a 'game changer' of their lives and that aspect was yet to sink into them during the adulation!
Motihari, Champaran had been the place where epoch making events during our freedom struggle, under Gandhiji's leadership had taken place. The place is again in the reckoning - a simple son of its soil had the audacity to dream and make his dream come true! Sushil Kumar, may your life's story be an inspiration for future generations!!
My hearty congratulations!
