57. Doctorjee Faces Newspaper Critic:

Once, one of Doctorjee's neighbors, wrote a seething article, against RSS activities, in a local newspaper. The article demanded answers from RSS leadership to several accusing questions.

When he read this article, Doctorjee went to personally meet with his neighbor; since he felt that an equally seething newspaper reply would result in just counter productive match of recriminations. The neighbor was surprised to see Doctorjee, and assumed that Doctorjee had come to have a major "war of words" (quarrel).

He could not have been more wrong! Doctorjee was very humble and conciliatory. However, he answered every question raised in the newspaper article clearly and confidently. The neighbor was fully satisfied. In departing, Doctorjee said: "Please feel free to speak with me, if you have some more doubts or questions. I live next door to you. Let us try to meet in person, and understand each other's point of view better. Let us come closer and be friends, even if our opinions differ".

Doctorjee was an exceptionally gifted "people-person". He could neutralize even his worst critics by his humble but firm, truthful and confident answers.
