Once Charlie Chaplin participated in a Charlie-Chaplin look-alike contest…and came third…
Listening to Narayan Murthy speak (in a conclave) was at best an encore…
Everything about him – be it what we read or what we listen – is like witnessing a big family get-together of all the virtues from our Grandpa’s stories…the only difference (and a BIG one) being that he talks about them in a context most unlikely – business.
“Began small…Played it Big…Made it large”…this line suits Narayan Murthy much more than the whisky it endorses. Add to it the point that he did it all while still being on the right side of his conscience, and you will start thinking that you indeed need a hangover to believe it is true…
And what better than the fact that people are now more inspired by ‘what they think he is’ than ‘what he actually is’…In fact, I suspect, they had gone there only to confirm what they already knew about him…
But that’s what makes this special…He is no more a person, ‘his face and his name’ have transcended the boundaries of his body and yet the greatest compliment possible is that they have been able to embody and represent all the good deeds of a whole lifetime…Yes! ’His face and his name’!
…In the end, I observed that no one wanted to talk to him…all everyone wanted was a snap with him.
Hence Proved!
