Manoj says, write down your thoughts and repeat it to yourself every night and morning till it registers into your subconscious. Let your inherent skills take over, do not let this weapon be shadowed by doubts and let it lead you to success.
Manoj says, this can be best exemplified by the story of Eklavya.
Why not Rakhi Sawant, Manoj? She is a brand. She is brazen, believes in herself, never wanted to be known as a sati savitri, has gone in for breast implants (did she really need it?), has comfortable played a transvestite on screen and is philosophical. We might be tempted to scoff at her. But Rakhi Sawant is an achiever.
If there’s one thing anyone can learn from Rakhi Sawant, it is confidence and its display. She knows what to tell the media and how. All in the name of modesty and frankness, of course.
Yes, Rakhi, more comfortable in Hindi ("I am not very well educated"), can get dirty with words. And yes, that doesn't come as a surprise. Some samples: 'Main jab sets par jati hoon, to acche acche log kaamp jate hain', 'Mujhe koi shauk nahi hai ki log mujhe sati savitri bulayen. I am very happy being called the hottie', 'When I meet aunties, they tell me: aadmiyon ko chorro, jab hum tumhe dekhte hain, to humme bhi paseena aa jata hain', 'It's not easy to expose. I am proud of myself. I'm not a hypocrite. I say what I have to. How many people have the courage to do that?' 'Mere andar tezaab hai.' Be honest. Speak your mind. But most of the other times, use loaded words to titillate people and hog attention.
Her father has disowned her. Rakhi now lives with her mother Usha, who was once a Gujarati heroine. "My mother is very proud of me. My father disowned me. I disowned him too. What else could have I done? I struggled and struggled. I was clear about my goal. I wasn't born to be just someone's wife and bear his kids. I never wanted to known as a sati savitri. I respect my father's decision. Agar kisi ki bhi beti aise karti to woh kya karte. He is right. But I am right too. Hum sab apni apni bhumika nibha rahein hain. I will not tell anyone to go against her/his parent. But when you are sure of yourself and your goal AND you know you will get there someday, but your parents still create issues for you, then go ahead with your conviction. I am sad that my father is not with me. But I am very happy with what I have achieved in my life. I jump with joy when people call me a sex symbol. I got what I wanted."
If you have to make it big, almost all gurus of the galaxy will tell you to have faith in yourself. Rakhi Sawant, however, gives a new meaning to the word confidence. "The only thing that can make anyone successful in Bollywood is hard work. I had to struggle for years before making a name for myself. I just didn't give up. There are many more girls out there who expose. Why are they not making it big? My success is not just because of exposing. Mere char minute ke gaane mein logon ko sab kuch milta hain." Sab kuch? "Sex, glamour, dance, talent, expression. When the time comes, I can show my talent even with clothes." Point noted. Be confident. Just show the world your over confident side. Competition is one word that doesn't exist in her dictionary. "When you talk of item girls, there is just no competition. Even JLo is nothing in front me."
As a member of Mumbai police, Mr Sawant, Rakhi's father according to her, never made more than Rs 4-5,000 a month. "We were not even a middle class family. We didn't even have the money to pay rent." But Rakhi claims money was never a motivation for her. "I always wanted to do something in life. Not for money. Because I wanted to become somebody." Ask her how much she is worth and pat comes the reply. "Kai crore kamain hain yaar. All my songs are hit. I pay income tax and everything." No figure there. "I have bought three flats with my money. I gifted one each to my mother and brother. Paise ka kya hai.. I was alone and I will be alone all my life." Chase money. Just don't admit it.
"I believe in Ganpati, Jesus and my guruji. He has told me ki meri achchi takdeer ab shuru hue hai. Can you imagine? I have only seen forty per cent of the success God has in store for me?" A permanent feature in her room is the piece of paper on which guruji has written the things she is supposed to do. She even wears clothes according to days. It's white on Mondays and purple on Sundays.
So there, Rakhi Sawant is more religious than many religious blogs.
