What are the factors related with presence of mind?
My take is:
- Sharp wit
- Knowledge and wisdom
- Self-confidence
- Listening power and capability to grasp its core within a wink time.
- Pure in body, mind, diet and speaking.
- Meditation and Pranayam like Bhramar and Bhramari, Kapalbjati.

Subject: Re: [MTC Global] Presence of Mind
What a man!! Many times I think of him and Kamaraj.Giants of men!!
And yet in the annals of INDIAN history we have lost even the tiniest of trace of these two men.
Kamaraj who formalised the famous mid day meal scheme (today ,the only reason kids come to school or are being sent to school ) ;The story goes that in Vridachalam he was walking when he saw little boys tending cattle-he called then asked -why are you not in school? one of the little ones picked the courage to say 'if I go to school who will feed my hunger?Back in Chennai , he never forgot what the little boy had said and the IAS officers were asked to come up with a scheme that fed the children so they were never hungry and had the opportunity to attend school ; who is attributed with aerial sowing of the seeds that gave free firewood to the poor ; the same trees that are sold to paper factories by the politicians today - foresight .proactive and very empathetic .As a young girl I had the opportunity to hear him and see him close quarters.Still remember the awe and grandeur.
Annadurai-well ...lived in a small house in Nungambakkam near my school.He became the CM and we were stunned to see him sitting in the same house on his 'easy chair' reading a newspaper.He stopped reading and called the group-he said -study ;study as much as you can;that is the only wealth.What warmth and joyous person he was and such a fine sense of humor.Brilliant mind and writer.His love for MGR changed the course of history though.
To this day I hold them in tremendous respect and like the President of India Venkataraman,who never lost an opportunity to speak of Bharathiyar,I include the two of them as examples when I speak to kids. They dont believe me though:-)))
And the other man-MGR.I wont evaluate the politics but as a person-he just was capable of taking one's breath away.Charismatic to the core his simplicity was astounding. I then was student President when he came to our college-and I had a horror for politics and film personalities.He bowled us and me over by who he was.He heard us,asked questions and that hour we forgot we were in front of CM,a popular hero whose movies are still bench marks of sucess, and a man whose death saw the biggest riots in TN
There is in fact a continuum of the Kamaraj in today's politics-the CM of Pondicherry (Puducherry),N Rangaswamy.One could walk into the CMs office-an experience of a lifetime.I had to meet him for some education project: I met his secretary to fix an appointment.He said meet him now-I was stupefied. He said come and in we walked into his chamber.He gave me a long hearing,asking relevant questions and said" people like you all should come to Puducherry and uplift people".Will never forget it.He phoned the Education minister and said "do it ".This man would drive, no zip , on his Yamaha to work as CM till the police put their foot down and said no in capital letters ;and one could find him sitting in the tea stall or in the tennis court across his office,meeting people.
How terrible that great men and leaders get eclipsed by the negative scum of the earth!!!

--C. N. Annadurai was a prominent chief minister of the Tamil Nadu state of India who was known for his proficiency in languages - particularly English and Tamil.
Once he went on a foreign tour to Yale university during 1968.
He was awarded the Chubb Fellowship at Yale University, being the first non-American to receive this honour
There he was requested to speak to the students. During an interactive session held with students, guys were allowed to ask some puzzle like questions that tests one's English proficiency.
One of the guys in that hall stood up and asked him to say a hundred words in English which don't contain the letters A, B, C or D.
Annadurai immediately started to tell the words one by one.
They are one, two, three up to ninety nine!
Everyone present in the hall were surprised and waiting for his 100th word. If he said 'hundred' he would have failed but after 'ninety nine', he said 'STOP'.
The hall was filled with a minute of huge applause.
