Our Howard Roark

Now let me tell you of the most amazing and admiring personality i have met in my life about 9 yrs ago...

9 yrs ago is pretty much big time...isn't it...Do you think i have been closer to him because i know him
No ...he is not of that kind
Though one sits beside him continuously for 7 years
He does not say "Hello" or "How are you" or even "Good Morning" by himself..
Is he arrogant...
No i am not going to tell about those kind of personalities

He is one of the very few in whom i found a great philosophy for life..great detachment towards life...
"Detachment" is his philosophy
There is another word to his philosophy "excellence"
He has decided that whatever comes from him should be excellent...

So he is the most successfull most sought after person and most happiest person who would be happy buying things to his family....

Certainly not...if he were i would not write this article

So why am i writing this and what i want to get by exactly writing this

Having known him for past 9 years...having understood almost every idea of his(which most people dint) and most of his philosophy towards his journey..

Those of you who might be thinking how i understood him when he did not speak to me...
It shows in actions and little words he speaks....
He is outstanding in his commitment...logical thinking analytical approach

To the dumb and stupid questions i have asked him over a period time..
he never explained me very elaborately...just one word or a sentence would be his reply...
and they spoke paras about the fundamentals of the concept...

He was often mistaken to be selfish ..self centered...arrogant...

I understood him.completely

Having journeyed with him silently for so many years
Lot of things go without saying....

His subtle humour which could make you laugh and laugh and brings smile to you whenever you recollect

Do you think he was a nerd or something
No...according to his close being he was the most jovial and friendly guy

He is the most systematic and disciplined person i have ever seen...

One day i got a mail from him at 3 AM I asked him why does he wake up so early
He replied that ...it is a mail sent before sleeping and that he had problem with sleep sometime ago when he slept just 5-6 hrs a week

About 7 yrs ago he was with daughter when he was standing on a ball playing with her
he slipped suddenly and hurt his backbone

According to his own people,Once he was diagnized of a fracture was to go to a computer
search about the fracture and explain to his family "this is where it fractured and this is what the doctors are going to do"
Isn't that called detatchment....!!!


Mind like a windows system...needs rebooting and might crash if its not rebooted atleast once in two days...

Everything is so good about him..isnt it?!!!!

What has this given to him ...
It made him over loaded ...he started every comment and every task positively and responded to it ...no matter what part of the day and which part of the hour it was...

He would delegate but the fellows never understood his logic nor got the point and finally the work was again handled by him

When the power of mind overpowers the body...does n't it collapse..hasn't it happened to swami vivekananda?!!!


His BP and cholestrol are up..
there is hardly blood circulation between his back and his legs
People who have gone to visit him say he is unable to walk
There are deposits in his heartttttt.........and he needs to be operateddddddddd.....
All the over work load...a continous non-sleep work load
a continuous smoking...all took toll on him

Please see that i have written "People who have gone to visit him"...
and you saw it right...

I was always scared of him ...out of respect...
in the name of consoling i didnot dare to visit and disturb him....
No he would not like it...
He does not like sympathy...he is very egotist ...you know...

All i want to ask him is
"Why why why...through your excellence didnot make you understand that there is a mid way between commitment and getting overloaded
Why didnot your wisdom teach you that you are actually hurting yourself for ever...by not standing up and giving up
Why are you so egoistic to not admit your fatigue
Why are you so inefficient in not taking care of your health..

Did you think you could alone pull the boat
Did you think you alone could make it sail
Did you think you could withstand all the odds of nature
Did you think that without you nothing works and the customers office would be shut down...
Did you think that you are the only guy committed...


No you were wrong....you were wrong....
Work on computers is not the only way a man can do in his life...
I always wanted you to write...you spoke hardly
Though i knew there were infinite thoughts ...you never expressed them....
I was able to get in bits and pieces ...But still fall short in putting them together...

So i plead and pray..please go away ...from your computers....
go away sleep peacefully
get healthy...
take care of your family
There are lot other things to do and go....
