India has had many great people from time to time. There are a few personalities who leave indelible footprints in our hearts and they influence us in several ways. The person I truly admire and appreciate is Barkha Dutt who is an Indian television journalist and columnist. I have read several articles written by her in the widely read newspaper, Hindistan Times. She is the host of my favourite TV serial and award-winning, weekly serial ‘We The People’ as well as the daily prime time show, ‘The Buck Stops Here’. She emerged as a prominent figure post her reporting of the Kargil war in 1999. She has to her credit books named the Uniquet Land, Gujrat: The making of a tragedy. She is also the recipient of the Padma Shri for her excellent work. I am inspired by her confidence, elegance and grace. She is a woman par excellence who is an inspiration to many others especially me. Her strong and charismatic disposition makes all her viewers get impressed. All in all, she is a woman who I respect and admire in all respects and would surely want to meet one day.
