I had no clue as what to do last Sunday. Adding to the frustration was the power cut. The savior of the boredom, “the idiot box” popularly called as Television was of no use as it required power to live. As a last resort, I switched on my laptop hoping it will offer some entertainment. While browsing the folders I found the dump of movie “Laksya” which I had copied some time back. I decided to watch “Laksya”, one of my all time favorites. Each and every frame of that movie is worth the time spent watching. Now do I have enough charge left in the battery to watch the movie?? Yeah, my luck wasn't that bad, the power meter assured three and half hours of non-stop action.
The best thing I liked in the movie is the scenes showing army life and war scenes, which were shot realistic. As I was watching the war scenes a little thought came to my mind. What motivates the soldier in the war field? How does an officer keep the motivation levels of his soldiers high? I am sure he’s got a tough job in hand. As I have always heard and read that a motivated platoon is the key to the success of the mission. But what does the commanding officer have to offer his boys keep their confidence and morale high? Inhospitable conditions; rain of bullets; grenades going off, and Death!!! It’s a tough job indeed.….On the contrary what does a manager in an IT company have in his kitty to inspire his team? Plushy work environment; fat pay cheques; travel opportunities; job promotions. I am sure these things are better than those mentioned earlier. I started wondering whose job is a challenging one. Can anyone show death to a person and also motivate? I am sure an officer, who shows death to his jawan and manages to motivate them in order to accomplish the mission, should possess great leadership qualities.
As I was pondering about this I saw Hrithik hoisting the Tricolor in the peak 5179 and fired the illuminating shells to indicate victory. The movie ended in a happy note with Priety and Hrithik living happily ever after….I started thinking, what to do next, to kill time…..
