Proposing to declare Rahulvai the Sajha Person of the Year 2064 ======================================= It is clear to me that Rahulvai is an embodiment of struggle, hopes and achievement of an ordinary person and that's why it is an extraordinary story which is beyond alll jeolousy, condescence and snobbery. While one may argue that his goals and achievements are entirely personal and therefore do not deserve to be applauded from a societal perspective, I still believe that he is a role model to so many people who have potential and dreams but not no hopes. Like Nilkantha, he drank poison to live and not die. Ashu appropriately acknowledged, his is a story of "raw authenticity". So, my suggestion is to declare him officially "The Sajha Person of the Year 2064" due to the following reasons: (1) He is an ordinary person with extraordianry struggle, achievements and hopes. (2) He believes in sharing his story to others to inspire them. (3) He does not complain but tries to make the best of what he has. He shows there are choices in life and we can always choose the better ones. Let us honor him so that he knows he is not alone in his fight and struggle. However, this is just a proposal and you may ignore or laugh at it. (N.B.: Please be informed that I have no vested interest in proposing this. I do not even know his real name. I have no personal communication with him other than what I have posted here about him).
