In Absentia

Jul21

Like Dhrithrashtra relied first on Vidura and during Kurukshetra on Sanjaya for his daily updates on the day to day running of the state and thereafter just to keep abreast of the news in general and about his sons in particular , I had to make do with second hand accounts from my dear friend Jagpal and objective Himanshu. Himanshu was preparing for the Hyderabad Marathon and I initially did not get him on phone. when he did deign to answer he was breathless and tired. We are behind him in this attempt - the keyword being 'Behind'. Jaggu was also out on his evening jog and also sounded breathless and hassled. While Himanshu spoke with adequate description of the day's events Jaggu was laconic and to the point- "Kucch nahi hua re" he said ; "Sab thik hai; Subah mein classes hue' aur dopahar mein classes hue' Aur phir ham ghar aa gaye".

I always used to wonder as to why people whether sick or otherwise sought second opinion. After interacting with both it was evident that the days events were perceived differently by both. And it has helped me in piecing together events as they occurred today. Opinions and reporting of people matter a lot while coming to a decision . Prof Rafaat was very much back in action . She started her lesson in the usual way with a recap of the previous class and then getting down to the brass tacks about Profit and Loss . It was like she was never away. Her constant endeavour to keep the class lively and on its toes has the side effect of ensuring that we learn something worthwhile...

Prof Sutanuka Dev Roy took a break from her stewardship of the senior management course and spen the afternoon with us working economics with us and ending with an exercise. For a second day in a row we interacted with the director General of ASCI. His Key Result area at the moment is the meeting of the board of directors. WE are sure that it will go smoothly without any hitch...

For me the day was eventful . My son was confirmed for BTech in NIT....
