Destiny

Yesterday’s function was special in many ways. 

We saw the victory of a man over his environment. Though it was a function where I was most tense - there were 4 Tamil speakers and 2 English speakers and 90% of our people don’t understand Tamil. But the language of the heart won over the language of the brain.

Paul Raj and Sagaymary sent shivers up my spine. They had a supreme confidence, an aura around them. An Electrician and a Nurse turned Superman and Superwoman impacting more lives than they could possibly have imagined.

I entered the function and Mohsin said - “Tum to pahunch gaye yaar....” and I could see full eyes and a fuller heart. Mine skipped a beat too. At one time I used to think going Diamond was the ultimate thing - but today I feel otherwise. It’s come upon me to take so many of my people there. 

I could see that joy in Paul Raj and Sagaymary - the joy of breaking 4 Diamonds. I saw it in the silvers and up meeting in the hotel ballroom right before FED2003 in Philadelphia in Kumar and Anjali’s eyes when they brought up Sanjiv and Shauna and Ramesh and Rama up as new Diamonds. I saw the tears of joy and the millions of memories zipping past in a split second. And I want to be there too. I want to lead my people to freedom.
