Kaun Banega Crorepati

In a recent episode, Neeraj Saxena was the fastest to answer in the "Fastest Finger First" round and took the hot seat.

He sat very calmly, without shouting, dancing, crying, raising his hands, or hugging Amitabh. 

Neeraj is a scientist, a Ph.D., and a Vice-Chancellor of a university in Kolkata. He has a pleasant and simple personality. He considers himself fortunate to have worked with Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and mentioned that initially, he thought only about himself, but under Kalam's influence, he began thinking about others and the nation as well.

Neeraj started playing. He used the audience poll once, but since he had the "Double Dip" lifeline, he got the chance to use it again. He answered all the questions with ease, and his intelligence was impressive. He won ₹3,20,000 and an equivalent bonus amount, and then there was a break.

After the break, Amitabh announced, "Let's proceed, Dr. Sahab. Here comes the eleventh question..." Just then, Neeraj said, _"Sir, I would like to quit."

Amitabh was surprised. Someone playing so well, with three lifelines still left, and a good chance to win a crore (₹1,00,00,000), was quitting? He asked, "This has never happened before."

Neeraj calmly replied, "Other players are waiting, and they are younger than me. They should also get a chance. I have already won a lot of money. 

I feel  _'what I have is enough.' I do not desire more."

Amitabh was stunned, and there was a moment of silence. Then, everyone stood up and applauded him for a long time. 

Amitabh said, "We have learned a lot today. It is rare to see a person like this."

After he quit the game, a girl took the hot seat and shared her story: "My father threw us out, including my mother, just because we are three daughters. Now, we live in an orphanage."

If Neeraj had not quit, being the last day, no one else would have gotten a chance. Because of his sacrifice, this poor girl got an opportunity to earn some money. 

In today's world, people are not ready to give up even a single penny from their inheritance. We see fights and even murders over it. Selfishness is rampant. But this example is an exception.

When your needs are fulfilled, you should stop and give others a chance.
