PROFILE IN COURAGE- BABAR ALI

Very often we come across people and news about people that inspires us.
Sometime it happens that the ideas of these people also make us feel insignificant and sometimes stupid .We think that we always wanted to do this but never could.
Babar Ali is one such teacher and a 16 (yes it is 16)year old head master in Murshidabad district of West Bengal.
Himself from a very poor family , he started teaching the poor and deprived children of his village who could not travel 16 kms. that he travels to reach his own school.
From the age of 12 , he started teaching his very own age group and peers, in the way that he was taught and by making some improvements in the methodology.
Rest of the story you can read on the net by searching"Babar Ali School."
What is important is that it is something you and me thought of doing all this time but did not do it.
Probably because I was afraid of missing the world go past while I served in wilderness.
It is such a simple idea- that any of us could have carried on.
...however I'm happy a teenager with everything stacked up against him has taught me that the simplest of the ideas have the power to become most efficient .
Thank You Babar!
