I am not sure if I inspired Letticia
more, or her letter inspires me more to take this to the next level.... Reactions in
the last 72 hrs from London, South Africa and parts of South East Asia are
fueling the need to move this further .......PEACE TRUTH AHIMSA
Good Day Mr. Yajnik, You may not remember me from the
crowd of 900 students at the Hyderabad International Convention Centre during
India Night when you gave the most inspirational speech and talk I have ever
heard. My name is Letticia Gomez and I come from Malaysia. An Indian by origin,
I only knew India as a place where I visited my grandparents. Gandhiji was
merely a figure that I connected to peace. I find it a necessity Birad Sir to
thank you for your talk during India Night. You showed me things about Gandhiji
that made me respect him more but above all that you made me realize that I am
the change that I want the world to be. I may sound silly but I was moved to
tears by your talks about Gandhiji and how I could relate to him. Lastly Birad
Sir, I do hope the Harley bike became white enough to be shown around the world
as a symbol that WE can make a change.
Last evening speaking at the India night of Harvard Model
United Nations India 2012 at Hyderabad I had the pleasure of interacting with
900 students, they were introduced by me to Gandhi in the 21st
century. Their reactions were inspiring and i need to do more ......
Highlight for the evening was when I asked them to kick
start a revolution of Peace Truth and Ahimsa and create a symbol that would announce
to the world that this generation is ready to embrace the Mahatma.
