INSPIRING FOLKS: LESS ON WORDS BIG ON ACHIEVEMENTS
I have been here on MouthShut for a while. Thanks to the M2M facility, I have been able to interact with a few members, who are not well known on MouthShut, but are otherwise very big on achievements.
They have not really revealed themselves much here, but I have been able to see a few links provided by them and get a good picture of who these people are. They are humble folks. Humility is an attitude that I have yet to learn.
This review is my homage to these members.
MouthShut ID: Kartz
https://mouthshut.com/user/kartz.html
Real name Karthik. I read his review on Bajaj Avenger. He has written just two reviews here.
He has a wonderful profiles page. I particularly liked what he had to say about himself.
I quote
“ Hate pubs, discos and parties but networks well with likeminded people. Believe in God but give a damn about religion”!
After interacting with him on M2M, he gave me a few links of his adventures. It is then and then alone that I realized how big he was on ACHIEVEMENTS.
This young gentleman from Bangalore, married with a bonny baby, is an outdoor adventure man to the core of his bones. He has traversed across India, to the far off mountains, the jungles and the lakes. He has ridden his bike upto Ladakh on a Royal Enfield, and many more places, with fellow bikers. He has lived in tents, slept on the roads with a broken bike, endured enormous hardships on his road trips. The man is spiritual to the core, a hardened man, who has learned much so much traveling the hard way. He is a top quality photographer.
I feel humbled by Kartz. I would give my right hand to get into Kartz’s shoes. He is on top of my list.

Avinash has no aspirations to a Star Writer status. I had that ambition, got there and lost it! Genuine stars are way beyond such aspirations.
His profiles page gave me a hint that this man is bigger than he shows himself to be. Creativity is in his blood.
Reading his reviews is a treat and gave me some insight of who he is. He has done it all, so to say. If I were a Venture Capitalist, I would back this man with millions. He is humane and humble. But a big time man in his own way. I can spot a winning horse. This is man is my winning horse. ''Lambi race ka ghoda.''
A couple of M2M’s later I realized that he is a man we would all like to interact with personally across the table, sipping his favorite wine, so as to learn from him, network into his field of expertise. Am I allowed to reveal the contents of his M2M’s to me? Or is it-privileged information? I do not know. I will respect that privacy for the time being, being the ignoramus that I am.

Thank God, this man is here in Pune and I got to meet Ramesh, a young achiever, first hand. He is too busy now to log onto MouthShut. But he has contributed plenty of reviews, enough to get the feel and touch of the man. At a young age, this man is way on top running an Industrial unit with aplomb. An inspirational man to the core.
He has a wonderful profiles page, worth a read a couple of times.

The last one is myg124. This is a crazy kid. I do not know what to make of him. I am meeting him over the weekend at Lonavala. I do not trust him yet, but I trust my instincts.
He has a wonderful profiles page. A line that reveals his attitude
“I like asking questions to know the truth.”
This kid M2M’ed me. Finally we got chatting on Yahoo messenger. I read his stuff, his comments and came to the conclusion, “Yaar is bande mein jaan hai!”
In the long run, he has to prove me right. This kid has attitude. If he can learn from our wisdom and come good in life, that will be the power of MouthShut for him.
Finals
The power of M2M is a great way to interact with other members and enrich our lives from their experiences. It is for you to interact with the folks above and learn from them. I for one would go the extra mile to meet such folks.
There must be many more such members. If you know them let me know!
