All of 51 years old.
MBA from Stanford.
Sloan fellow.
CV that reads like running down the list of Fortune 500.
Toyota, GM, GM Europe, face of GM in India, stint in
Shanghai, handpicked by Ratan Tata to be the MD of Tata Motors.
A gifted athlete.
A sharp mind that can sieve the surplus from the bane of
modern management, PowerPoint presentations.
And ask pertinent questions, usually unanswerable.
It comes as a shock to hear the news.
If you have an argument with your wife over “domestic issues”,
there are million ways to solve them.
To start with you could have thrown her out of the window.
What is my takeaway? What will make a man happy? How much
wealth is needed before one can say it is safe now? Read about the need for a “healthy

That is what is missing in the world today, if someone were
to ask me.
We take life seriously, too seriously.
So what if something is screwed up. What is un-mendable in
this universe? Let us spend some time to fix it. If it is not fixable, let’s
move on.
Death is too final, irreversible. No one can avoid it. What is
the point in inviting it? Isn’t it too scary to end it all? Why attempt
something that can’t be corrected or improved?
Makes me wonder……………….
In the meantime TML will do well if they put all their top
honchos in the ground floor.
