Baba Ranchoddas and Allama Iqbal

Baba Ranchoddas was the symbol of excellence. He became very successful
in life. Not because he wanted to become successful. But because he
believed in the philosophy that one should struggle to become perfect in
life, one should struggle to exell in life and success will follow you.
He used to say "Kamiyabi Ke Peeche Mat Bhago, Kabil Bano, Kamiyabi
Tumhare Peeche Jhak Markar Aayegi". And he showed this in his own life
and became a successful person in his field. He always used to say never
run behind success, try to make yourself excellent and then you see how
success will come behind you.

If you are thinking who this Baba Ranchoddas is then you probably might
not have seen the recent movie "3 Idiots". Ranchoddas Syamaldas Chanchad
aka Baba Ranchoddas aka Rancho was one of the 3 idiots in the film.

Now you might be thinking what is the relation between this Baba
Ranchoddas and Allama Iqbal. There is a relationship. I would say that
Baba Ranchoddas has practically demonstrated many of the shayaris of
Allama Iqbal in this movie.

The shayari which describes the central theme of this movie is:

Manzil Ki Justatju Mein, Kyun Phir Raha Hai Raahi?

Itna Azeem Banja, Ke Manzil Tujhe Pukaare!!!

Is the shayari which Baba Ranchoddas used to believe in. Make yourself
so great that success will come behind you.

And one more shayari:

Khudi Ko Kar Buland Itna Ke Har Tawdeer Se Pehle

Khuda Bande Se Khud Pooche Bata Teri Raza Kya Hai?

In fact there are lot many shayaris of Allama Iqba which have been
practically demonstrated in the movie "3 Idiots".

I suggest all of you to watch this movie. Not because it relates with
Allama Iqbal, but because evertying is so perfectly demonstrated in this
film that you will eventually say:

All iZZz Wellll
