Passion

I visited my uncle's farm house recently.. He is an agricultarist who has won many state and national awards for his innovative techniques and research in the field of agriculture....It was like going to a theme park!!! When you think of an estate you normally don t think about science and maths...but here everything was different... For starters he believes in making use of everything available in nature.. all the dead wood becomes manure for the newcrops and all animal and human waste becomes gobar gas which powers his estate!! There were mobile ladders which were designed using physics and maths..I saw it all from soil testing ground to an olympic standard skeet shooting range inside his estate !!! but what impressed me the most was his passion for agriculture.. after 50 years of agriculture he is still soo enthusiastic about it and is constantly innovating and using science to automate agricultural processes!!! There s so much of talk in IT these days about employee burn out and stress but i feel if you are passionate about what you are doing then everything else becomes immaterial.. My uncle has spent 12 hours everyday in his farm for the last 50 years and even now and i am sure he would rather do this than anything else in the world....
