GO KISS THE WORLD

Go Kiss The World is an extract taken from the welcome address by Chief operating officer, mind tree consulting Mr .Subroto Bagchi .The address was delivered on 2nd  July  2004 at the Indian institute of management banglore .Being a successful entrepreneur, Subroto Bagchi has become a business author and has written a book of the same name ,directing his teachings to the whole world. Go Kiss The World summery The speech delivered by Subroto Bagchi tells us his words of wisdom and the lessons taught to him by his parents. The lessons are directed at lighting the meaning of success and are related to the events from Bagchi’s life. Lessons Taught By Subroto’s Father Subroto’ s father was a District Employment Officer in Koraput, Orissa, and Subroto was their fifth and the last child. Koraput was a district without electricity and water did not use to run through taps. There were no primary schools due to which Subroto ’s schooling was done at home only. Subroto’ s mother had come as a refugee from East Bengal and was raised by a widow. Subroto’ s father used to get transferred every year. Therefore they had to move frequently and travel in the government provided jeep. There was no garage in his father’s office due to which the jeep used to stay at home always. His father never used the jeep to commute to the office and taught the same lesson to Subroto, telling him that it is an expensive resource given by the government .From this came Subroto ’s first lesson, the lesson to never misuse public facilities. Subroto and his brothers were also not allowed to call the jeep’s driver by his name and were always told to add the suffix “Dada” before his name. When Subroto grew up, he taught the same lesson to his daughters and they were supposed to call their driver “uncle”. Subroto used to cringe every time he used to hear other people disrespecting their drivers. This made up their second lesson, telling them always to respect their subordinates more than their seniors as it more important to respect small people. Subroto’ s father had put the habit of reading the newspaper daily in Subroto. He and his brothers were supposed to read the newspaper aloud with the morning tea. Although Subroto did not understand much of what was written in this newspaper, he still contributes his good English to that habit. After reading the newspaper, he was taught to fold it correctly. Another lesson which his father taught him and his brothers was “You should leave your newspaper and your toilet the way you expect to find it.” In their childhood ,Subroto and his brother were always attracted by various property and radio advertisements in the newspaper ,but their father always refused to buy them ,telling them that they don’t need a radio because their family already have five(referring to the children). This made up another lesson, “not to measure personal success and sense of wellbeing through material possessions.”

Lessons Taught by Subroto’s Mother The houses which is government gave to the Bagchi family rarely had fences. Subroto along with his mother used to make the fences with twings and decorate the house with little plant seedlings. When other people asked Subroto’s mother that what’s the need to beautify a government house, she replied them that she has to create a bloom in a dessert and for that, she has to leave place given to her more beautiful than what she had inherited. Subroto calls this his first lesson in success,” It is not what you create for yourself, it is what leave behind that defines success.” Subroto ’s mother started developing cataract in her eyes when he was very small .That time his eldest brother has got a teaching job in Bhubaneshwar University and was also preparing for civil services examination. It was decided that Subroto’s mother and he will move to Bhubaneshwar too for the eldest brothers cooking purposes. This was the first time that Subroto saw electricity in houses and water coming from taps. Subroto’ s daily job there was to read the Oriya script newspaper from head-to-toe for his mother. while reading the newspaper, Subroto used to feel a sense of larger connectedness with the world that made up another lesson for him which meant to be connected with a larger world. During that time, India was at war with Pakistan and Lal Bahadur Shastri ’s words”Jai Jawan Jai Kissan  ”sparked the country into unitedness. Subroto Bagchi felt the need to become a hero and dreamt of catching a terrorist to read his news on the newspaper’s first page. He decided to spend hours guarding the University’s water tank ,imagining that a terrorist would come to poison it and he would be the one to catch him. His imagination became another lesson for him, lesson that taught him that if he can imagine a future, he can create it and if he can create it, others will live it. In the next few years, Subroto’ s mother’s eyesight deteriorated. Therefore she went under operation and saw Subroto’ s face for the first time. Subroto still pleases every time he remembers his mothers words that praised him. Within few weeks of getting her vision back, Subroto’ s mother developed corneal ulcer and became blind in both eyes. She lived 32 years with her blindness but never even complained once. When Subroto asked her what did she see with those blind eyes, his mother replied that she do not see darkness but only sees the light. Till 80 years of age, Subroto’ s mother performed her morning yoga everyday, cleaned her room and washed her clothes own too even after being blind. This way Subroto’ s mother taught him another lesson success is not to see the word but about seeing the light. Subroto’ s Father’s Death As Subroto grew up, he got a job as a clerk in a government office, became a management trainee and finally settled with a job in IT industry for which he moved to the USA in 1992. During this time his father was living a retired life with his brother when he suffered third degree burns and was admitted to the Safdarjung Hospital, Delhi. Safdarjung Hospital was a poorly maintained place with unitidiness and overworked nurses. Subroto had returned to see his father ,one morning he realised that the blood bottle is empty and air could have entered his body. Therefore, Subroto asked the nurse to replace it but got the reply to do it himself by the tired, overworked nurse. When the nurse finally agreed to change it, Subroto was surprised to see the man who himself was on his deathbed was asking his nurse that why she hadn’t gone home yet. That day Subroto learned that there’s no limit to how much a person can concern for another person and the limit of inclusion he can create. Subroto’ s father died the following day but left his principles behind. According to Subroto’ s father, success is the person’s ability to rise above his discomforts and not about creating material comforts. Difference in Subroto’s parents Idelogy Subroto’ s father was the believer of british Raj and doubted the capability of post Independence political parties to govern the country whereas Subroto’ s mother believed the exact opposite. When she young ,she has garlanded Subhash Chandra Bose and had learned to spin Khadi and using swords and daggers. Although Subroto’ s parents had different ideologies but still they lived together, this taught Subroto another lesson that success is not the ability to create a dogmatic end state but a process of continuous thinking. Subroto’s Mother’s death Subroto’ s Mother’s died due to a paralytic stroke at the age of 82 in Bhubaneshwar Hospital. Subroto Bagchi has come from the USA to see her and remained in the hospital for two weeks. His mother was not getting better but was neither getting worse .Subroto eventually has to return to work and therefore, was leaving. He bowed down his head to kiss his mother’s face before leaving and in a paralytic state his mother replied him to not tom kiss her but to kiss the world. The words” Go, kiss the world” were said by Subroto’ s mother to him on her deathbed. Subroto’ s mother had come to India as a refuge and was raised by a window, her husband’s salary was just rs300, and she had lost her eyesight but still was telling the another to go, kiss the world. The Epilogue of Subroto’s Speech In the end, Subroto says that success to him is about the version and the ability to rise above the pain .It is about imagination ,about sensitivity to small people, about building inclusion,about connectedness to the largest world, about personal tenacity. It is about giving back more to life and creating extraordinary success with ordinary lives. Subroto Begchi thanks the audience, wishes them luck, tells them,” Go ,Kiss the world” an leaves.
