We just had a 2nd October ,Birthday of the father of nation , Mahatma Gandhi, who worked towards the betterment of our country and played a vital role in it attaining freedom.For those unfamiliar with term' Gandhigiri' means following the path of Mahatma Gandhi such as non violence and satyagraha.I hope the word may find a space in dictionary.The term became popular since the release of Bollywood movie'Lage raho muuna bhai' in which the leading character had dreams of Gandhi ji ,suggesting the character to follow his (Gandhi's) path for various circumstances in life.
Although I thoroughly enjoyed the movie but I don't think that following the same would bring an extra ordinary results in our day to day life.It may depend on the situation you are in.
For example if you are well dressed and ready to go for a party ,interview or anything and there comes a speeding car which passes you and splashes mud on your cleaned ironed dress ,what would you in this situation ? how do you react ?Would you remain cool and calm and console your self that this is what god wanted or would you note the car number or stop the car and shout on the driver? Of course the second option .
Another example is of today's service industry we work in.What if your boss keeps on loading you with work and you don't argue (If you are on Gandhi's path) and screwed up the other aspects of your personnel life .In the same situation the other guy is enjoying the luxury ,How? Because the person knows how to say No without directly saying No.
How do few people get their work done in a fraction of seconds when it takes others n number of days ? What do you think about Narendra Modi whose thoughts are just opposite the Bapu's and still seems impressive ?
I am not against the Gandhian way ,may be because I haven't encountered anything till now where I can apply these rules.But I would suggest you to give it a try and make other person guilty for his deeds but do not keep on doing this forever because in this case you will look like an idiot trying to please the other who don't even care .If this doesn't work then try threatening ,I hope it will definitely work in today's world ;) .
