Chak De India

Dream. Every thing great starts with a dream. A nation's independence, a business empire, a great invention and a overseas tour win for cricket team. But a dream is hardly self-fulfilling. If you are wondering if I will go into the banter of working hard and determination and overcoming obstacles - I offer a difference of opinion. All these things are ends and not the cause of what I am going to mention. Dream, it all starts with a dream, breaking. Breaking to pieces, self confidence ruined by the mysterious, ridiculous mirth on the faces of nay-sayers. It starts with a bruised pride - a rising rebellion - the feeling to slap people in their faces who refuse to believe in you.

Then starts the herculean task to recruit people to your cause. They will come with you for their own selfish motives, for the bruises they have been given. Never for a moment make this mistake that they will follow you, until you have had your vengeance. They are following you until they have had their own.

After recruitment, starts the next task of uniting, not them, the people, but their goals. Making them rally behind a single goal, make them believe that achieving this will help them have their retribution against the world, against all those who did not believe in them and if possible mean it.

So far things go very logical, but the kind of animal humans are, they tend to mix emotions with almost everything. Quite good, for a leader emotional followers are a god sent army. Next, toy with their emotions, make them see something great, something grand, make them imagine the moment of triumph and then let them fall on the hard, cold stone of reality. Do this again and again and they will emerge stronger. Like a fractal, reproduce the same process on every step which you are fighting against, which they are fighting against. The anguish, the boisterous mirth, the slap in the face attitude. On every step make them feel the same. But this time its against someone who do believe in them. They will take some time to come to know that, and during that time they will hate you, but they will and then they will worship you.

Then you will have the army, of 300, of Alexander, of the rakshas!!! and you will have your retribution, only the retribution will feel so much smaller than what you would have finally achieved!
