Smruthi Inamdar - A Prodigy in Making

It is worth while returning to the recollects ions of Smruti V. Inamdar who joined K.V Beml Nagar in year 2002 her experience as a class 1 student is worth mentioning year. Her attempt to send her class in line at the stroke of 2.pm turned out futile – she stood behind, amidst repeated pleas, “Go in line. Please go in line”. All this fell on deaf ears and Smruti stood back shedding tears. But lo! A silent onlooker stood beside, Guess it was principal. He patiently gave a ear to the disheartening tale of the determine leader “Sir, I am telling him to go in line. Just see sir, ooh-o-o how they are running”. He thoughtfully studied her plight. His gentle piece of advice was an eye-opener for the 5 year old. He said, “If you have to make real gains as a leader you have to toil hard as your parents, teachers and your principal”.

The girl of 9 years, now, undaunted with the intellectually challenging class of IV, has reached stupendous heights in her academics and co-curricular activities. She is no doubt a shy girl but a confident orator. Accuracy is her watchword. The multiple awards and accolades have proved her to be an outstanding achiever. She is quite unique with new impulses, inspirations and techniques. She aptly fits into the art of winning strategy of the renowned, writer Shiv Kher, ‘do small things in a great way’.

I have been observing her for the past 2 years, what makes her different, is her need to excel in whatever competition she takes up. A tough daily schedule has been an integral part of her mother’s regimen. Seeing her currently flying high in all the activities, I casually told her – Smruti, tell me about your ambition in life. She glowed, “Ma’ am, as a lid, I wished to be a teacher. Obviously, if I had been born much earlier, I think I would have been the first Indian to get into space. The good and admirable part she said was, ‘Unlike Kalpana Chawla and Sunita Williams, I will make waves globally from an Indian soil. Won’t my motherland be proud to have my spaceship across Indian skies? I just smiled and recalled the famous thought.

Yesterday was but a dream
Tomorrow is only a Vision
But Today well lived makes every Yesterday
A dream of Happiness
And every Tomorrow a vision of Hope

When Smruti has been successful every ‘Today’, she will certainly strive hard to the expectations of her mentor to face the stimulating challenge that ‘Life’ in this millennium has in store for her. Besides she has soared higher planes in the following
