General and me

 It was General Hasnain's official visit to the military station Saugor in 2009. He was addressing all the officers of the station. Suddenly during the talk, he asked the gathering if anyone can translate correctly the word Passion in Hindi. I raised my hand and said there's no exact translation for the word however the words Jazba and junoon are closest. He's impressed. Later, he's having tea with the officers. He desired to meet me during the tea. During the conversation, he did ask me how do I explain those two words. I said there's an element of madness in junoon whereas in jazba the person is balanced and has lots of passion for something. That was my first and last meeting with the General. Well friends, to achieve anything, we need to have these two words with us...jazba and junoon. And yes, I would suggest one more word ...mushaqqat, which means hard work πŸ™πŸ™ Col Pradeep Pendyala
