Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's visit went
terrific! I enjoyed every every moment of it!
At the end of all, I realised the importance of what I had tried to preach in my previous post- Team Work! Yes, I was very very proud that I was a part of the celebrations and had the opportunity to see her from a distance of less than even 5 metres.
While we waited for her, I was gazing at some of the most prominent faces in the Audience- Ministers, Delhi Cabinet Secretary, US Ambassador to India, Top level NGO workers...But my eyes held on to her the moment she entered...
You know, I have always thought about the qualities which make a leader, a leader! I still think about them. But may be now, with more empathy and less guesses.
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi- Her entrance into the Auditorium created a vibrance which urged me to jump; to jump high, higher and the highest! It takes about a minute for a person to walk down the central isle of the auditorium to the stage. Our choir- yes, the same choir that I had talked about and I had plans of abandoning which- stood at the leftmost corner of the stage waiting her to enter. As soon as she did, we joined our voices to sound one at “Aung San Suu Kyi, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi...” And the welcome song lasted for a minute. She acknowledged the welcome with a slight bow. And I kept staring her face all through this. http://lsr.edu.in/
Her face emitted peace. I could realise how difficult it must have been for her to achieve it. 12 long years of house arrest. Yes, that is DIFFICULT. Her eyes, which have been witness to some of the most turbulent times of Burma and her own life, have become stronger thant ever to emit peace and calmness. Her face just tells it all. It must have been difficult. Really difficult!
