Sudhir:-
Hi everyone!
My name is Sudhir ! Well you may be curious to know my surname. It is
Subramanian. “ Sudhir and Subramanian what a combination” You may wonder! My
father who was working in North India, out of admiration for his then Boss
Sudhir Datta gave me this name Sudhir ! As already known Subramanian is my
father’s name. So I became SS…Sudhir Subramanian.
Well I am from
IIT(M) M stands for Madras.. One of the most prestigious colleges of India. Now I am in my
late forties, that was as of at the beginning of this story.
I have spent
most of my time in Food Industry, though I am supposed to be a Mechanical
Engineer. At the least I am a bit happy, I could apply some of my knowledge of
Engineering in day to day work, unlike my class mates who went to Management
and started selling Shampoos or writing programs on software companies.
Though I did
my studies from IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) I was not a very ambitious
person to move to the USA or to get into IIM (Indian Institute of Management)
as the main motivator for me is morning coffee and evening money from Stock Market,
which my wife used to manage very meticulously.
I have no
inhibition in admitting that I am an egotist and feel always proud talking
about myself, myself, myself as beyond that I did little to learn or master. To
talk, rather brag more about myself I got to have a crowd who would listen day
in and day out my own stories and keep playing second fiddle for my bragging.
For the same,
wherever I went, I cultivated a lot of second line people or sidekicks who
would not survive without my support. This cloning helped me all along to
survive with little difficulty. In our industry with so much of recession and
job scarcity there are always people available to sing your tune and try to
live a life of survival!
God has
blessed me with a good face, physique, friendly disposition. These qualities
always helped me to get my way and my own way wherever I went. Thus life has
been all along a great interesting journey. But you know who wants a simple
straight line we want “curves” I mean literally and figuratively!
The opportunity
came to me and I thought I was making the best use of that. But only later I realized
that “How foolish I was to rock the boat of family life. How much misery I had
caused to all and sundry who had put their faith in me” !
It is always
said that “ Extra Marital” affair is like bribe. Once someone gets into the
same there is no limit to it. I realized it a bit too late and regret it. I was
involved in both of them.
I am sure
the same would make an interesting reading and bring corporate life in a
different perspective to all of you !
to be concluded........
