Jan 6 2009 I was at Chandigarh for my IELTS examination doing nothing. Sitting at my Uncles residence chatting with a sweet girl. Having no idea of what was to come I was chilling hoping probably its only a month or may be two before I would join the company I wanted ( for the time being though).
Jan 7 2009 Surfing news channels in the morning. Suddenly every channel showed one person's pic. It was Raju. He was there everywhere. May be he has done some thing amazing again for satyam. He had done wonderful things in the past. But the scroller below on the TV screen suggested otherwise. He has accepted of commiting a billion dollar scam. that was amazing yes... but not in the sense I expected. Dreams shattered of mine and thousands of others who were hoping to join satyam from all over the company in the next couple of months. Many people who hoped to be at hyderabad in march to work for satyam were there in march but to protest to authorities only to give them joining letters. Nothing hapenned. Raju, man for whom satyamites could die for( not literally i guess) had almost ruined lives of about 2 lakh people connected directly or indirectly with it. Some performed yajna to save him, but ultimately he had done something really wrong. If you gave him to my mom, she would have given him the taste of her sandal, a couple of impressions, and may be a number to remember.
Its been months. People have moved over. Satyam is seeing one helluva attrition. Satyam is no more our Satyam, neither Raju's Satyam, its Satyam of Tech Mahindra. From billion Dollars, its just million dollars. I have dropped satyam hopes. My sister-in-law is resigning for better prospects and my bro..... well he is lucky.. he is enjoying this harrowing time at New York office of one of its clients. Cool for a satyamite to be onsite in this time. My fellow hopefuls have also dropped plans. Some are still planning of another meet at hyderabad. Best of luck to them.
Raju...... well Raju I guess wont be out of Indian legal system for another 100 years.. I can assure you he is going to die there in Jail. He had done something which I wont expect from my friend. Thats why he is not my friend now. He "was" my friend.
