Meera Sanyal - Impressive steps in the right direction?

I am here again - I just read an article at the following site http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/4311925.cms

I was a witness to some incidents like these - in the past. I had seen people like Jayprakash Narayana (a IAS officer - who quit Govenrment job to take politics - head on - and make a difference to the political environ of the country) and many more aspiring people who genuinely feel a need to make a difference. In the list of aspiring people joins Meera Sanyal - a MNC Banker - contesting independently and funded by self - the South Mumabi Lok Sabha seat. And the reason she offers is "directionless situation post mumbai attacks". As an individual - i had dreamnt the same - of educated people joining politics. I dreamnt to make it to the finals of the Time of India initiative - where people were invited to go thru the rigour of selection process - to contest the Lok Sabha elections. (I guess Ravi Misra was the winner and he is contesting the elections from Bangalore). But as an average individual - I dreamnt - but i didnt act - hence i didnt even submit my forms (forget about contesting and winning). Is this the difference between and Dreamer (me!!) and a Doer (Meera, JP, RM, etc)? While i boast of a simple life - is this incident translating simplicitiy to complacency? I am not sure!! But one thing i am sure about is people like Meera and JP inspire others (me being no exception to the rule of getting inspired) and get to make people understand the simplicity of life.....
