00:11chief guest padma sri ss rajamali thank you sir felicitation of the chief guest
00:47thank you
01:28Graduation ceremony address by the chief guest, Sri S.S. Rajamawali, globally acclaimed Indian film director.
01:59Thank you, Bharat Garu, for having me here.
02:03For the past three years, I was trying to get here, but my daughter always shooed me away from the
02:09gate.
02:10Now, finally, I'm here. Thank you.
02:15And, sir, you and Chad GPT seems to be holding me in very high esteem, more than that I'm worth.
02:23I have noted down the speeches, points from your speech.
02:27I'll try to live up to them.
02:33So, guys, you are graduating today.
02:37So, does it feel like finally you are breaking the restrictions and the shackles that have been put on you
02:45by your professors and teachers?
02:48Finally, breaking from them and getting into freedom.
02:51Does it feel like freedom?
02:56So, as you go out after graduating, I'm assuming most of you will be going into looking for jobs, work,
03:06or further studies.
03:07As you go out, life will be throwing out many challenges, many obstacles, and also giving you many opportunities.
03:18And you will find, I'm pretty sure you will find, whatever chances you are getting, whatever opportunities you are getting,
03:25might not be in the same discipline that you have studied.
03:29It can be completely different.
03:31It can be completely strange.
03:34It can be completely strange, but whatever it is, whatever work you are doing, please embrace it with complete passion
03:46and complete dedication.
03:50That will take you places.
03:53Let's talk about an example of that, of the founder of your Geetam Educational Institutions, Dr. MVVS Murthygaru.
04:07He started as a lawyer.
04:10He was a very, very great lawyer in Hyderabad High Court.
04:17But then he changed, he went to Vizac and started a small bottling unit.
04:23Eventually, he made it a mega empire, as much as he was very fondly called Goldspot Murthygaru, Goldspot Uncle.
04:33Children used to call him Goldspot Uncle.
04:37He came into politics.
04:39He served as a two-time MP.
04:41He served as a chairman of UDA.
04:44And under him, we have the Kailasgiri Park, the Vooda Park, and the Green Vizac, as we know now, is
04:54thanks to his contributions, contribution, his vision, and his implementation.
05:00Then he chose the field of education.
05:03And, you know, he created one of the best premier educational institutions in the country, Geetam, which you are all
05:13part of.
05:15And he also started, he didn't forget his roots.
05:18He started schools and colleges in his home village.
05:23He used to continuously, frequently visit them, visit the college and check how the students are performing.
05:32So, whatever field he chose, he tried to be the best in that.
05:39I think that is the example that we can take from him.
05:43Whatever field you choose or whatever the field that chooses you, be tirelessly hardworking.
05:51Be the best possible that you can be in that.
05:54And that will take you places.
05:56Thank you very much for this opportunity.
05:58Jai Him.
05:59All the best.
06:06I thank...
