It’s my life
Neither destiny nor disease can stop me from achieving my dreams and desires. I need
to be where I should be! I know who I am and where I am.

Patience and time, what I need


Laziness and Procrastination, what I don’t need
Aim and ability, what I have
Where you started is least important when you care where you reached.

Know that

Every difficulty wants to see your capability,


Every problem wishes to test your confidence,
Every opportunity can measure your insight.
Relations, commitments, obligations, obstacles, miracles and inevitable emergencies are
not the trademarks of one’s life. They are same with everyone. It’s not the severity they carry
but the ability that makes them worth what they should be?

Past can change the present and present can change the future. It’s not the present that can
change the past but can definitely change the future. Thinking about past is killing worthy
present and vibrant future. Many men forget this and lost many things what they can gain. No
one is an exception to this.

One beautiful day adds an extra day in your life and converse is also true.

Learn the lesson, how huge a failure may be,


Enjoy the happiness, how small a success may be,
This is what I learnt, felt and meant to share with you, the successes and failures of my
life that shaped my life.

It’s my life i! Sampath Kumar

Born in a middle class family, a layer that separates the poor and rich I had enough
scope to know every nook and corner of life. Aims of rich and circumstances better than poor is
the classical definition of middle class. My life had two halves. In the first half I am the need. It
helped me to know other’s character. In the latter half I am the resource. Even this helped me
to identify other’s frame of mind but it more revealed the quality of an entity called honesty in
me.

In further pages the initiation, transition, exploration, diversification and final


destination of my life are completely and clearly portrayed with some real experiences and
valid judgments. Brisk decisions at one end and risky conditions at another end can really test
your patience and precision to withstand in life.

It was at an age 2 where I cry when I am hungry and laugh when I am in joy. The two
ways I can express my feelings. Recollecting from my mom’s words I am able to present those
innocent and vibrant days. I don’t know the transition my mom does in converting her blood
and life to milk and birth to me. I can’t understand the million tonnes of worries behind my
mom’s smile to make me joyful and my life playful. Dad had the agony but can’t present it and
get consoled as he is the one who absorbs agony and pain of mom. The root cause of this pain
had its roots in the cruel and cold blooded motive of my dad’s parents. Marriage at an
immature age, deficit monthly income and mom’s innocence are the reasons that turned
lifelines to their vindictive and harassing actions.

Progress in time and problems vexed my parent’s patience and turned out to get out of
the house and rid of perennial worries. I don’t know that cake is so sweet, had the sweats of my
father. Five rupees saved by my father’s 2 km walk gave me articles to play. Mom’s torn saree
gave me a beautiful dress on my birthday. The love they showed and sacrifices they made made
me the man to stand for them in the coming years.

One perfect word to explain my dad’s parents is devil. The equal and exact opposite
word can be given to my mom’s parents for their continuous and cumbersome support to my
family’s future. Pennies can’t buy and words can’t explain the immaculate love and care shown
by them. I am able to understand the hardness and softness of all relations with the amalgam
of experiences I had at an early age.

If you depicted me to be a calm and cool dignified child with the previous facts, please
erase that and get ready to know the utmost noisy and funky aspects of my character. All the
words I told before are just a background process running in my mind all over the time but the
foreground scenario is completely a different one. I am the naughtiest entity where ever I go.
The hell of complaints my father received regarding my actions showed the capability of my
naughty quotient.

Since my childhood till now I am unable to compare two values x and y.

X= No. of days I went to school.

This comparison can give you an understanding and saves two pages of reading.

Complaints dominated compliments, scolding scored more than praises. At least one
positive trait can fetch some praises but I failed to recognize that due to the flood of
entertainment and enjoyment. Maturity two years greater at every point of time saved me
from the impact of my actions as it controlled to hold me in limits. Education and
entertainment had equal and valuable importance in my life. Even results proved the same, the
reason why I am not killed by my teachers.

I had two sets of relations at every level. Either friends who loved me or enemies who
don’t cared me. No neutral relation found till now. The line that divided my two sets is my
character. Frank in nature, straight forward in conversation, passionate in love, true in
friendship, high in spirits, low in superiority complex, down to earth all the time as I know every
earthly asset may vanish in some time.

I cared the one who like me and ignored who dislike me. Every action has an equal and
opposite reaction. In my theorem I give double whether its love or hatred. Though I was happy
in generic terms, an unconvincing dissatisfaction ruled me over the years. The heights I desired
and deserved are not yet reached. I rarely depend on others and surely help others in need. My
psychology catalyzed me to help those who are worthy to receive and dominate those who
aren’t trustworthy. This is the reason why I don’t share my pains but care other’s pains.

Now the romantic episode of my life gives you the delight in feeling the fragrance. As I
have abundant love and care embedded in my heart, I shared it with different entities at
different levels. I don’t want to discourage anyone who expects something from me. Every
thing is fair in love and war.

My first crush at 4th class is still remembered and kept safe in the interiors of my heart. I
don’t know how to express to her but finally well determined to encrypt all my feelings on a
sheet of paper but got no reply from her. After waiting for two days she responded as usual
without keeping my letter in her view. The same girl at class XII visited my life with some
passionate words that touched my heart but mean while we have some more stories to share.
So let us go in chronological order.

In my 7th standard a girl form rural and poor background swapped my grounds with her
pleasant wishes and warm words. I had no interest in her but unable to express it and in order
to prevent her from disappointment I just paid a deaf ear so that both of us will be on a safer
track. That was ended when I joined another school.

A triangular love story entered at a very early age of my life when I was in 9th class. A
diagram better explains this scenario...

Y X= me
Z= the girl I loved

X Z
Y= the girl who loved me

The half arrow is the intermediately stopped love in response to my love from the girl I
loved. The dot that stopped this love is another girl. I don’t know why ‘y’ loved me and dot
stopped my nurturing love. A glance and fragrance of z can swipe any one’s balance. I am not
an exception to that.

Flowers I gave, days we met, items we shared, words we exchanged, and the moments
we departed are still fresh and beautiful. Thinking about past of this kind can definitely lives
future. Living at an old age is worth living when you have got some sweet, cute experiences.
Luckily I have many such experiences.

Coming back to the original theme after my 9th class love, I completed my class 10 and
joined intermediate. The most funky and joyful life of 2 years filled the gap of missing
entertainment at class 10 and even had lumps of joy for the future years also.

My S.S.C life completely filled with tears when I left the house for the first time for my
study. This Dark Age period made me mentally robust and physically weak with some irritating
circumstances, irksome experiences and vulnerable results.

It was registered as a timestamp of my struggle and a snapshot of my parents support,


one of the hallmarks of my life. A girl from another branch liked me, loved me and conveyed
the same to me. As my neurons suffered with agony and insecurity I am unable to share the
clock with the girl who loved me. She maintained the relationship and hope for the next phase
of my life also. This is unknown to many and known to me. An inevitable pleasure dragged me
towards her, a secret known to my heart not even revealed to my brain also.

My Father worked in 2 shifts during my SSC exams. Dayshift for economical income and
nightshift for my educational outcome, this is just a pint of love from the gallons he stored for
me. My mom’s support and management especially at this point of time is commendable and
heart touching. An accurate draft and skillful craft are the words that best describe my dad’s
vision and precision in shaping my future.

Though troubles, love and hope are perennial and present at every point of my life they
had different flavors and different perspectives. Depression is a regular visitor to my heart.
Hope is the sunrise and love is the brightness of my life. Whatever the way, how ever the

results sway and whatever people say I neither cared them and nor reacted to them. My
tremendous energy levels helped me to continue the focus in not forgetting my aim, work and
walk towards it.

The hard work I and my father employed for my study was not reflected in the exam
results. My father was disappointed but not enraged but encouraged me for my next attempts.

I entered a new room with chaos and noise after my holidays. It was my intermediate
classroom. It was a transition from my school life to college life. According to my uncle’s words

“Intermediate” = ‘Intellect or Idiot’


This age is the crux factor that defines and decides our future to make ourselves an
intellect or idiot. Since I had a different view about his definition I tried something different.
Why I can’t be both? This was the thought I sought and implemented, succeeded in
implementing the same.

Distinction in marks, extinction in dignity confused many lecturers and my dad to decide
what to do and how to do in getting me on to the track they expected. Good merit and funky
credit are my trademarks at intermediate college.

My enjoyment should not be harassment to others,


My entertainment should not disturb my education,
My excitement should not overwhelm my commitment.
This is the mantra I follow and remind every time to achieve my dream destination. My
innovative thoughts and contented words impressed many people.

My SSC results taught me a great lesson in making smart work as my agenda rather than
hard work. Industriousness alone can’t fetch the fruits without intelligence. This concept
influenced me greatly and changed my way of approach towards things. Individuality, a blend
of confidence and character is the fate deciding factor for any individual. I took utmost care in
molding my individuality as it is the one that can change even the destiny also. This is a
testimony to my perseverance and precision, prediction of my future.

Hectic reading, continuous practice, staying completely away from pleasures and
dedicating entire day to study are the traditional features of class toppers. I was completely
reluctant to that and believed in understanding the concept clearly and able to present it firmly
with my own words. This technique made a huge difference in my life and even results bowed
down to me at this instance.

My results made many criticizing mouths dumb and raised the voice of my supporting
hearts. My first year of intermediate had relieved me from the SSC pain and grabbed
innumerable memorable moments. Every day is an excitement and different. Those refreshing
moments are second to none.

All the girls and boys are very much close to me and maintained fragrant relationship
with me. My dance performance and management capabilities at anniversary events are cute
and attracted many entities towards me. Even at this level I found a girl who was interested to
know my interests. I came to know this afterwards. Any way I missed her without any
memorable moments. Leaving it a side I had a girl who won my heart in the second year.

I along with my four dacoit friends got promoted to a higher section in the second year
with merit in first year. Our new section comprises industrious students and college toppers.
The same features I explained in previous paragraph are omnipresent here. They are
completely dedicated to study even while eating also. This completely shocked me. But I
continued my normal way of living amidst such people also without any second thought.

The most wars of my second year are with my madam who is lean in shape and egoistic
in behavior. I am the only hindrance to her obstinacy in the class as the rest prevented
themselves from taking risk and getting punished. I was completely and perfectly against her.
This created some hatred among college management and they started suppressing me with
their power and privileges. But my strong will didn’t cared those ill motives and plots.

Good words, when delivered through the oral cavity of a low moral fellow will raise the
boiling point of my blood. “You are not eligible to suggest unless you follow”, that’s what I
follow. I am able to fight with their ill motive, power and cold blooded plot. They brought my
father into picture and tried to cut down me from my father’s end. My father was not in a state
to understand or digest the scenario and warned me to withdraw my struggle irrespective of
my analysis. “Power can dominate anything and can even reverse the truth also”, the
consolation words given by my father.

Though I know the truth and my struggle are valid I can’t take chance at the expense of
my father’s fame and sensitive nature. I bowed down at the front end but continued to work at
the back end. What the management can pose is the complaint given by that ill minded lecturer
and they consolidated to an overall negative feedback about me from all the staff. I know it but
helpless to prove it. I can’t digest it but unable to face it. I finally accepted it to end it.

It is in second year I got a passionate and supporting friend whose friendship is


independent of time and money. He was with me and for me irrespective of circumstances and
consequences. My and my four friends from the old section changed the face and pace of new
study holic section. Now our section is the No. 1 section in both study and noise. Our steady
study, funky monkey activities influenced most other sections in the college. I and my four
friends got the entire credit for the funky output. We accepted with a smile and taken it as an
achievement of pride and success.

Irrespective of activity, there is one active participant from our section. I turned out to
be a leader for my section and represented my section in every event. Cracked jokes, crispy
comments, noisy classroom, lecturer’s scolding and compliments, collective efforts, gallant
friendships, all these drops of entertainment formed an ocean of worthy life.

Almost we reached the end of second year intermediate. A mock final examination
schedule has been announced. Everyone is getting ready for it. I was in one classroom and
eagerly waiting for my seating arrangement. Now I got my seat and expecting a girl to sit beside
me. A beautiful girl beside me can not only increase my heartbeat but also my writing speed.
Making my expectations true a girl was placed just beside me. Her captivating eyes and
magnetic looks washed out all my senses.

Bell rang and exam started. I was into my job and not even in a mood to stare at that
beauty. Amidst of my writing, some cute looks knocked my heart. I looked at her; she was in
search of some unknown answers. As usual I provided them. She smiled and took my answers
along with my concentration. Exam ended and her cute looks and crispy chat made a positive
note in my mind. But surprisingly she started impressing me and expressing her interest. I
viewed her like a normal girl but never expected a proposal from her.

Getting into details, the next day we were writing another exam and today I am the
victim and she is the resource. The scene contrary to the first day happened. She showed me
the answers and felt happy in helping me. Not only you but also I was unable to understand this
angle. Second exam was over and her fingers pointed out to some words written on the bench.
They read like this “Can I have your autograph?” I was alarmed to this as I didn’t expect this. My
surprise and doubting looks got more areas to quest with her reply.

What is that? Why it raised my doubts? There is a valid reason for this.

“Don’t think that this girl is asking autograph in a very short time I have been observing you and
know you for the past one year”.

Believe me! Even you will think in different aspects with this answer, the same I did. This
incident raised different questions in mind and I was in search for the answers but replied ‘ya
sure, why not’. She gave me the slam book with a chocolate in it. I took the book to my home
and returned it on next day with my autograph embedded in it. She took it with pleasure in her
heart and smile on her face.

At this point of time my 4th class love was reopened. She visited my house and proposed
me. Now I was in total dilemma. But her distinguishing skeptic character narrowed my love
path to leave her. Her words are completely different from her inner thinner motive. 4th class
love ended with 4 meetings and 8 chats. Thank god! for saving me from such an ill featured girl.

In tune with her autograph request I asked her autograph. She was utmost happy with
my request and took with joy, returned it after 2 days with some chocolates as usual. Her attire
and approach seemed different to me. But, after some valid contemplation I reached
conclusion that she loves me. The facts that validated my conclusion are her peeping looks into
my classroom, searching eyes for me, un noticeable attempts to meet me, phone
conversations, friend’s(her and mine) feedback about our relationship and her internal motive.

A day came when proposal from her end reached me through a letter (a response to
mine asking some questions travelling in my mind). The letter contained the sentences that
answered most of my questions including love also.

She was not beautiful but had some spark in her eyes,
She was not intelligent but innocent,
She was not an angel but loves me a lot.
This was the impression made about her at this point of time and this was the reason
why I responded positive to her interest and proposal as ‘being loved’ is a great boon than
getting the loved one. I was really fortunate in that aspect.

My final examinations were started. I rarely visit college during public examinations but
her love dragged me to stay most of time in college and got noticed by most of the staff and
again same old traditional and dramatic situations happened. My parents and me, her parents
and she were informed and warned of our affair. One positive issue in this transaction is both
the parents were separately dealt. This prevented a huge quarrel between our parents. I just
escaped with some logically correct and really imperfect answers to my parents. My final exams
are over and days becoming shorter as were about to depart in a short time.

I need my mom’s consolation for my agony, dad’s advice for my love but how can I ask
them and embarrass them. What to do? What to do? I just consoled my self. My final exams
were over and we were about to depart. It may be the last chat we can have for years, But 2 or
3 sentences ended the conversation. Expecting to speak some words in the railway station
while departing and bidding farewell to her is the only one last hope for me. The next day
morning I went to hostel to meet her and drop her in the railway station. She had already left.
As her father came and took her to their native place an hour before I reached there. I was
totally hurt with this and my mind was blocked.

I had no clues and started waiting for her call in my home. Every hour that passes
surpasses my nurturing hope and vaporizing my aspirations. One day passed and no response
from her. This pained me a lot. In that despair I went out for fresh air and several thoughts
curled my mind regarding my future. On my return to home mom told me that I got a call from
her and this news gave me mega Watts of energy and erased all my negative thoughts and
despair even without a single trace of it.

I am waiting for the call with some confidence in my heart which was missing in my
previous waiting. She called, I was thrilled, many feelings curled and call was ended in few
minutes but she told me “don’t worry; I will be calling you frequently”. If a project manager
wins a project or if a person gets Euro lottery what might be their feelings?? The same feelings I
got from her assurance and conversation.

lively and lovely. I usually hate exams but started loving them from the time they formed a
platform to start my love.

I am totally dedicated and committed to this pious and precious relationship. I


maintained 100% transparency and exposed my entire soft corner to her. For her every need
and request I turned to a perennial resource. I am true in conduct and fair in dealings. No
matter how severe the circumstances are, but I was untouched to them once I am in chat with
her. My regular character absorbed all her worries and never conveyed my troubles or worries
to her.

I cared her a lot more than me. From soaps to signal processing system text books I
provided everything what I can do, supported her in every trouble and helped out in solving
many of them. The departed date is now 3 years old. Never the less it didn’t judge my patience.
We had made a 4 year agreement at the time of our departure. We decided to meet after the
completion of graduation. But some inevitable issues and igniting interests shattered the
agreement and met after 3 ½ years.

Train journey with battering cold winds to meet her is one of the innumerable pains I
have received as bye products to her love. One disgusting and impairing feature I have noticed
in all these years in her is her inability and unwillingness to understand my caring and the pain I
am taking behind that caring. A 10 minute telephonic conversation with her dragged my
breakfast for that day. Instead of getting satisfied she responds in an unconvincing manner and
expresses her dissatisfaction. I thought it was love but in the coming years many such
differences got collected and consolidated and expelled with my irrepressible anger. The first
destruction phenomenon occurred after 3 ½ years of my patience.

My patience level is very low and temper factor is high. But I maintained them in
control. But every value has a threshold value. If once that value is crossed then words can’t
define and Richter scale can’t measure the severity of that destruction. The same happened
here also.

From here onwards a mixture of riots and knots has been continuously occurred. My
love coined her character as innocence and kept me waiting with a hope that she will change
for me in the coming days. But completely contrary to my expectations she turned more and
more violent and malevolent and started putting her garbage and vendetta on me.

It was her ignorance that was mistaken as innocence and her ego was misrepresented,
misjudged as love in my heart and thought. My intermediate passionate pal controlled me and
reduced the severity levels of my words and actions that ultimately saved her. Even he was
made villain in her cruel feelings and egoistic perceptions. I never cared the one who never
cared me; the same scruple applies to her also. My well judged balance between love and
career helped me in securing a job in an MNC with a handsome salary. Even at this point of
time I felt proud that I can feed the person who was depending on me but again disappointed
with her discouraging words.

Amidst of this scenario her father’s death gave me a terrific shock and terrible pain for
some days. After getting cured from that shock I resolved to rebuild the broken links and ignore
the mistakes and misconceptions between us. My resolution got dissolved and diluted with her
unchanged and intolerable attitude. My hurtled heart erupted like a volcano.

I got vexed and vented out my agony and anger with high severity levels and strong
words. The grudge initiated from the day 1 till date, facts and figures of her egoistic actions are
well displayed and rashly scolded. These are the days that dominated the Dark Age (SSC) of my
life and turned night mares resulting in many sleepless nights. She is unforgivable and this
period is unforgettable.

Think twice in making or breaking any relation. These lines saved her and this relation
for such a long time. Now I found no use in still considering those lines and this relation. Amidst
all these awful moments I joined job and my professional life was started with a vibrant
meeting in the office.

My internal agony never influenced my behavioral outputs. So even at the time of


joining job I used to be in normal and cool college mood. My attire and talking theme was
noticed and liked by girl opposite to my seat on the table. She has a charming personality and
breath taking beauty. What a blend of splendor and savor?? You may surprise or scold me for
such arrears and bulk of girls; I can understand your impatience. If you believe in destiny or co
incidence then please credit all these affairs into that account.

In this issue I have no fault from my side as all my fragrant feelings are moved to vault
with my previous intermediate fault that had bad assault on my life. So the initiation and
increment is from her side only but not from my side. I didn’t even move a single millimeter
towards her.

Transition from conventional culture to corporate culture is must but you should not get
carried away by the lust. Equations may change but values should not be lost. Modernization
doesn’t mean leaving cultural ethics but learning global standards. No standard in this world
demand to leave values and no value can be left for standard. Implementation is far from
imitation. Know the difference!

Love is a value but not an asset, love is a feeling but not an entity. Misguided and
mislead by friends she started considering lover as a status symbol. She expressed her love to
me. It turned overhead to my existing head ache due to my horrible past.

I tried in different ways to convey and comprehend her to cease her feelings, but all
turned in vain. On a rainy night she was waiting for me though I ignored and rejected her. I
don’t want to be a calamity in her family, the main reason why I rejected her. She was stubborn
and able to accept my panic past and was still ready to marry me. That impressed me but I was
unable to take any positive step. I now determined to turn a psycho so that she can erase me
from her life without any second thought so that this relation can end without any yield for the
future. My plan worked and now she hates me firmly.

I appreciate my due diligence and insight in preventing a new holocaust by diverting her
from my life and her from my life. Now I was one year old at my profession but no professional
achievements happened so far. An information from friend that she was in love with a rogue
and ready to marry him knocked and quivered my heart and thought. After a long time I spoke
with her and suggested her not to take such a drastic decision and spoil her life. Instead of
understanding she fired out and a series of warnings knocked my door from her boy friend. One
fine day she got married to that guy against her parent’s wish and started living with her
spouse. I don’t know why some girls act like this?

I can’t even predict the damage she caused to her family with her selfish decision. This is
the time where I recollected the value of my parents, a milestone of my life as I resolved to act
according to my parents wish and follow their advice in both life and career.

An incident can change your life. You never know when a moment and a few sincere
words can have impact on life. I determined and frequently reminded myself not to be or see a
tear in my mom’s eyes.

If you can imagine the agony of a farmer who lost his harvested crop washed by a
holocaust then why can’t you imagine the agony of a father who lost his grown up child from
his imagination when he needs his support? I killed my interests to live my father’s hopes on
me. I wanted to be his achievement and pride in his eyes. This is my dream destination.

Now I started analyzing where I am and started building path to my dream destination.
If you want to master anything you should be a slave to that idea. Think about it, dream about
it, implement it, and even die for it. But all these phases are valid and can fetch great results
and great heights when your idea is genuine and eligible.

I have several ideas and dreams whirling and curling my thoughts. The problem is
choosing a valid and future giving one. Now my life is travelling from a romantic jingle to a
rheumatic struggle to snuggle towards my goal. Hurdles replaced cuddles, pains replaced
pleasures, working replaced thinking, and verbs replaced adjectives. Though painful I accepted
them with a smile as passion towards my goals minimized (almost nullified) all those pains.

An arrow in armor can’t fetch the target; the same rule applies to the thought in heart.
Four things don’t come back: the spoken word, the sped arrow, the past life and the neglected
opportunity. So think twice and act wise in speaking, doing and leaving any opportunity. Don’t
worry about the troubles you encounter while achieving your heights and remind yourself that
life giving medicines produced tonic and fatal substances as bye products in their
manufacturing. Don’t worry about the bitter present when you dream for better future.

I can’t start up a business unless I have some capital. This is why all my thoughts are
confined to my heart. What I can do at this point of time is to make some ideas in ‘ready to
implement format’, so that if I could get an investor who has interest in funding my ventures.
Then definitely I can reach my goal.

Value creation is more important than revenue generation. I care more about name and
fame rather than money game care. So an investor with the same mindset can get into my
circuit with smooth and soft transition.

I am lucky enough to get an investor who has got both capital and skill. He is my
colleague. Our thoughts and actions have common destination. More surprisingly our paths are
also same. The only difference between us is his soft heart and my stubborn nature.

I have another friend close to my heart and thought whose judgment and
encouragement refines my ways of approach towards any issue. I wished to form my dream
team with my intermediate friend who is 100% to me, two bosom pals at my office and some
other worthy skillful persons to access success at a faster pace.

I believe in teamwork, work fragmentation, thought transition, brain storm and diverse
ways of approach optimizes the productivity of our efforts. I prefer less ‘I’ and more ‘WE’.

During this period of time my investor idiot and judgment stupid got more and more
close to my heart and soul. There is a real reason for this change also. They both are the
absorbers of my short temper and never mind my anger.

The dreams come true. We have registered our company at ROC (Registrar of
Companies) as V.G.C. (Valor Group of Companies). We started two new ventures at the same
time. Dairy products manufacturing company and a cement production company under the
guidance of a consultancy and with the blessings of our parents.

I was involved from primitive to prime areas of research, production, finance and
marketing and customer survey. Each area was handled separately but decisions were made
collectively. During production and marketing of our products we have encountered confidence
shattering challenges and crises. Mutual support and prompt response minimized the severity
of the adverse affects on our venture.

The name ‘valor’ has a reason. We know we were entering into an ocean with sharks
and whales from a brook with frogs. So valor is one entity we need at every stage whether in
making decision or breaking ice.

Many sections of society and markets underestimated VGC and its team for its
inexperience and eccentric way of approach towards market. We have a different and new way
of approach challenging the existing traditional one. Before launching the original product we
marketed a prototype model into the market and reviewed the feedback. This seemed strange
to both customers and competitors. But ultimately it clicked well enlightening our new way of
approach.

The 7 mantras we follow are……….

1. We worried more about success not about survival.

2. We loved competition as it is the impetus for our endeavors.

3. We constantly and consistently tried to explore new areas of market and new
strategies of marketing.

4. We see maximum possible opportunities at every stage. Brand name is


secondary to infrastructure and operational framework.

5. We love value creation and consider revenue generation, a need.

6. Quality of management α employee satisfaction,

Quality of product α customer satisfaction

7. Raising living standards of society with some portion of firm’s revenue is a


regular and key process.

We were in tribal part of Maharashtra to set up a power plant. It was in 1986 where
India is almost reaching global standards in technology. Corporate hospitals and world class
infrastructure wondered me. But the worst issue is the omnipresence of exact opposite
condition in tribal village and interiors of rural areas. Can we expect a village without transport
and drinking water facilities amidst such world class infrastructure?

Farmers’ suicides became very common, living conditions of tribal areas are worse and
exploitation of all the inferior sections of the society by political leaders pained me a lot. I am
unable to digest this scenario. There is no difference between man and beast if I don’t respond
to these problems. I should do something for them? This is the incident where my
determination to enter politics was ignited. But for everything there is some time to initiate and
implement my dreams and duties.

But determination alone can’t bring the resources. There is no use in seeking political
leader’s attention in solving these social errors as they are the one who is responsible for these
ugly social imbalances. Donations, campaigns and charities are not in my view as I want
permanent solution rather than temporary reliefs. So I along with my team visited Dindori
,Kalwan, Pipal Gaon, Peth and Surgana areas in Maharashtra once again. We got the facts and
figures from a Govt. official and started working on the causes and analyzing the solutions of
every issue in detail with a scientific approach. We determined to work it out on a regular basis
in parallel with our regular business operations. This work earned priceless moral energy and
mental satisfaction that has no bounds.

We appointed a social worker running a Christian charity to care of this CSR (Corporate
social responsibility) wing. We are secular though we oppose caste based reservations in our
society. No religion is great than humanity. Brain, dare, heart, sincerity are our parameters to
assess any person.

It was in 2002 when VGC had its branches planted all over the world. Now VGC is
completely automated and autonomous. Our joy reached its peak value. Some thousands of
families are earning their livelihood from VGC. This is our dream destination for many years and
today we achieved it. No annual meetings and reviews conducted at VGC. CEO’s of respective
companies in the group are responsible for every thing. Taking decisions, implementing ideas,
setting targets, plans in achieving them are taken care of CEO’s only. The reason for our success
is “We believe people”.

“Keep in good touch with the people in you way up as they are the ones
who help you in your way down”
This is the golden rule we follow at every stage of life. We are addicted to this for years
and never went out of it. We employed third party organization to carry out surveys. We do 3
different annual surveys regularly.

1. Product survey

2. Brand survey

3. Quality of management

Product Survey:

Marketing strategies, colorful ads can attract consumers to buy the product for the first
time but it is the quality of product that addicts customers to our product. Decay in quality
directly reflects in downfall of sales and consumer’s confidence. If once that credibility is lost
then everything is lost. So we employ third party (more often we employ some people from our
competitor’s company) to do the survey and generate an analyzed and completely furnished
report. We do some strategic analysis and transfer the same to our SIT (Strategy
Implementation Team).

Brand Survey:

I see product and branch as two different entities. Milk is present all over the cow but
we get it only through glands. Similarly demand is present all over the market but we can cash
that demand only through vendors. So this vendor quotient is utmost important in any
business. Price margin, timely delivery and prompt response to their problems are the key
issues that form healthy bond with them. We periodically contact them and enquire them
about their problems and requirements. Apart form this annual survey yields different results
that set our future targets.

Quality of management survey:

“Inability at root level turns disability at fruit level.”


These words written on the top of my cubicle that reminds me of my tasks and sincerity
towards them. Regular supervision, indifferent diagnosis and generous treatment are the key
elements that generate employee satisfaction and decide company’s destiny. The problems
they encounter from their peers, sub ordinates and superiors are promptly captured and
corrective measures are taken to ensure them a secured and fresh environment. We on a
regular basis contemplate about the changes to be made in policies in a scientific and practical
approach after analyzing the root causes, severity and genuineness of every problem.

These 3 types of surveys helped us in knowing where we are and how should we plan.
All these happened in a precise and perfect manner because of one lady with dynamic and loyal
attitude behind this survey. Our expectations at the starting of the survey were made results at
the end with her dedication and calculation. Her straightforwardness, caliber and beauty
attracted my heart and diverted my thought. My dare and care, decision making precision and
high spirit attracted her. We haven’t found any necessity to express our feelings when we both
know them. Our eyes exchanged million words and billion feelings where mouth has no chance
to do so. We love each other and wished to live together.

Finally the most awaited pulses of my life have come true. We got getting married
amidst friends and family members with pomp and glory. This is the big day of my life. I got my
fairy lady as my wife to have a happy life. Her love, support and compassion relieved me from
earthly troubles and filled energy for my every endeavor. She was great enough to know and
accept my past and treat me as I liked and expected. She is now my silent and sensible partner
helping me out in every step. Her close association with VGC for many years helped me in
extracting great, gallant, valiant strategies in empowering VGC to withstand the future
demands. We have one unwritten motto for VGC.

“Caliber not caste, quality not religion, dedication not reservation, perseverance not
reference, value not revenue, member not worker, leader not boss should form the system.”

“Getting success is easier when compared to maintaining it”


I have explored two of my interests i.e. business and social service completely and
successfully. Designing and making ads for VGC has partly fulfilled my interest of movies. Now I
was in thought process about my entry into politics. Like social sector I had a reason for my
entry into politics also. Both the reasons for my entry into social service and politics are two
real life incidents.

It was the time when we were busy in setting up a steel plant. The actual proposed cost
of project was 250 crores. But permissions from Govt. departments and political leaders
doubled the cost. An astounding and unexpected increase in project cost. Hospitals and
educational institutions are not an exception to their ill motive. After funding all these

Innovative Initiative Page 16


It’s my life i! Sampath Kumar

corrupted leaders how any one will think of serving society? It’s more the problem with the
system than with the people.

A pot of water called country’s treasure is leaking through hundreds of holes called
leaders. Collecting water from holes is not a solution when compared to closing the leaks.

Poor and needy people’s welfare, war on corruption, infrastructure development,


religious integrity and nation’s security are the high frequent terms in the political speeches. I
strictly condemned these deedless words in an attacking manner. Even after 20 years the same
speeches can be given as there will be no real and true development in the society.

If poor gets power with economical independence they start analyzing these leaders
and don’t fall prey to these defying cunning speeches. They can make their own decisions. This
ultimately affects the survival of these filthy leaders. All these Govt. schemes provide
temporary reliefs but not permanent cures.

Second filthy process employed for the survival of these cruel leaders is raising regional
and religious riots. Ignorant fool’s attacks, innocent people deaths are the results of this
fanatic’s plots.

Motive of the terrorist intensity of destruction by terrorism, rehabilitation for victims


and corrective measures to raise the security levels of citizen’s life are no where considered and
no one concerned. But our clever leaders were able to highlight the religion and region of the
terrorist instead of exploring the reasons for terrorism.

Basic infrastructure, internal defense and inflation control are my main targets behind
entering politics and this is the agenda once I got into power. The most foolish phrase used by
traditional politicians is “removing poverty and nullifying corruption”. Everyone should know
that the above phrase is no way possible but their severity levels can be minimized with some
loyal planning. This may be bitter but better truth to be known by all. This is what I believed and
tried to convey my people.

The strategies I followed in raising the living standards of poor (even middle class is
considered as poor only) and lowering the intensity of corruption levels is to create
opportunities for poor and unemployed and channelize those strong man power to a
constructive cause. Giving meals for a day is not my solution but earning meals by themselves
and providing opportunity for that is my perception and solution for all these prevailing ills.
Completely automated government system, official active media, private detective spies and
24x7 anti corruption customer care are my ideas implemented to bring positive impact in
reducing the corruption levels.

Regular bribes to political parties from corporate firms and realtors were diverted as
donations to all working charities and allowed a free and fresh constructive, innovative
development in all the sectors as there were no illegal and harmful activities were completely
controlled. Fast track courts, well structured government hospitals, sophisticated infrastructure
and world class training with new trend arms to police department, importing new defense

technology and arms from all over the world, demolition of millers system and organizing
government kiosks to save farmers from huge losses consequently getting prices in control,
replacing caste based reservations with economic status based ones, increase in foreign
exchange with robust exports and strengthening Indian multi national companies are my
political achievements that changed entire past panic scenario.

In business talent and luck alone can fetch you the success but politics is made of a
complete different and strange game plan. Chasing cruel strategies, facing plot protests and
hell of chaos is a regular exercise. The cold blooded calamities your opposition creates for your
downfall, throwing garbage on you for their political raise are completely vindictive and valor
demanding. It’s not that much easy to emerge and survive as a leader among these dreadful
circumstances. Luckily with my valor and VGC support I am able to do it.

Neither politics nor business is a bed of roses or a way of praises. Rumors turn facts
when we were unable to prove them. A series of such instances in my life are as follows...

: BUSINESS:

 Virgin virtual downfall:

Problem: We were first into cement industry business. Existing giant vendors started
implementing their strategies once we announced the launch date. We started production and
about to deliver the product. Raw material prices were dropped consequently production price
and product price came down. We have lakhs of units at our go downs left undistributed and
unwanted. All this happened as a part of big bull’s strategy to suppress new vendors and their
ventures. Our brains went blank and hopes were evaporated. My immediate job is to fill
confidence in all the stakeholders and go for next step. Lack of experience and stock of
confidence made my brain think for revenue reviving procedures at those difficult times.

Strategy: I guided every one to be confident and gestured that nothing has gone out of
our hands and portrayed a virtual image of our vibrant future. “Let us imagine that we haven’t
manufactured any unit and feel that we were still in gestation period” expecting an end to this
virtual crisis as they can’t hold the prices for a long time.

Result: My plans went right and now luckily even raw material prices also hiked. We got
huge profits as a result of this stunt with the continuous and confident support of all the
employees.

 Ineffective Expansion:

Problem: It was the time when we expanded our business globally and entered
diversified sectors. Frankly speaking, we were unable to cope up with this wide and drastic
transition. We failed to decentralize the centralized power in a regimented and omnipotent
format. Employee dissatisfaction, operational deficiency, diluted services and ineffective
strategy questioned the future of VGC and all the stakeholders.

Innovative Initiative Page 18


It’s my life i! Sampath Kumar

Reason: The main reason behind this problem is the variation between the expected
output and actual result. Proposed system and predicted results went wrong due to
implementation errors. Verbs in papers were not mapped to actions in plans.

Strategy: I along with my team started corrective measures from the scratch at a faster
pace. Now key employees from all over the world were called back to join the taskforce team
for analysis and to build an omnipotent administrative system. An amalgam of senior most IAS,
IFS officers and experienced business strategic consultants, skilled industrialists formed this
committee. Every valid advice and supportive suggestions were implemented and consequent
results were tested.

Result: Company’s lost glory and stakeholder’s confidence levels were bought back in a
record time of 90 days. Now confidence, satisfaction, stock price and market capitalization
value have increased drastically that turned VGC to be the renewal resource and unstoppable
brand in this industrial era.

: POLITICS:

 Cancellation of caste based reservation system:

This was one of the most daring and risky decisions I have ever taken after coming to
power after a huge chaos and struggle. I know that this caste based reservation can’t fetch the
social equality in any way. Due to this ineffective system, energy levels and intellect of youth
has been deteriorating and decaying. Here caliber not caste, economic backwardness no the
social backwardness should be the parameters and criterion for availing reservation. Talent
should not be wasted and poor should not be weakened. Every problem needs a solution, every
talent needs an opportunity, every deficiency needs a support and every suffering needs a
remedy. This is what I have aimed in all my actions. Many suffering people supported my new
system but illegal beneficiaries and ill motive opposition leaders conducted strikes and violent
activities against me and my decision for their filthy survival and for my downfall. They called
me a Forward Caste Fanatic (FCF) and burnt my effigies statewide. I know that every one know
and need economic reservation but to dethrone me for the survival of some cold blooded
leaders, they have done this. All these tactics had no impact on my decision and precision. I
started suppressing these growth hindering leaders with police force without any mercy.

I believe one statement.

“Even if ten million people oppose it, it’s still right.”


With in two years people started realizing the facts and experiencing the results of my
policies.

 Modernization of govt. hospitals:

Everyone knows why we can’t trust or at least visit a government hospital. I handed
over the modernization of government hospitals project to a foreign corporate private firm in
order to raise the standards of hospitals both infrastructure and skilled personnel wise. Big
tycoons in corporate medical field with the support of local leaders started verbal and non
verbal attacks by hooligans on those private company’s offices and our party campaigns to
hinder the project and make it vague.

Surprisingly I got abundant unstoppable moral and oral support from people. They
themselves took active part in controlling the activists and helped a lot in the successful
completion of the project. All this trust and support are the results of my new reservation
system’s results.

 Demolition of my statue:

Clarity in thought and honesty in implementation without any self interest improved
many lives and impressed many hearts. They started loving me as a leader, brother and their
well wisher. Some of my ardent followers resolved and inaugurated a statue on a busy street. I
was totally impaired with this phenomenon as I strictly oppose idol worship and statue culture.
I believe in people not in God.

“The cost incurred in construction and maintenance of a statue can enlighten some
lives.” This is my feeling about statues.

I myself demolished my own statue though I know I was hurting my people’s interests. I
want my image to be enclosed in their hearts rather than in the form of statues on streets. Even
now my beloved opposition leaders termed all this transaction as ‘publicity stunt’ and an
atheist who burns all religious interests.

My detailed clarification to all religious groups answered their questions and got
satisfied.

 Dictator to be demolished

My plans and schemes have 100% pure and curing results to the entire existing
ailments. Corruption, Inflation and pollution are the endless ailments to the social
development. I paid a special and stubborn interest on corruption and inflation.

Inflation: In India most of the commodities prices raise because of the virtual scarcity
raised by the millers and mediators. In this system both consumers and farmers fall prey to
these bloody brokers. One set of people can’t be benefitted at the expense of common man’s
income and farmer’s sweat. I smashed this broker system and set up government owned kiosks
by diverting the profits to farmers and making prices affordable to common man. Here in this
new system government kiosk’s handling charges are minimal and formed a new legal source of
income to government fiscal. I thought it’s a great and deserved respect to common man’s
sweat and farmer’s blood.

Corruption:

Corruption to administrative system


What AIDS to immune system.
How much healthy food you eat and how much quantity of food you intake, every thing
is waste when your immune system is being affected by AIDS. All your energy is sapped by this
virus, the same happens with the corruption affected administrative system also.

How many profits you generate and how many policies you introduce? All the fruits
generated will be eaten by this corruption. Though everything is perfect we will not be able to
achieve what we have to due to corruption.

So I have employed trustable media and qualified leaders (even from the opposition)
and formed a committee to sort out corrupted leaders and explored areas vulnerable to
corruption.

This dragged and caught many senior strong leaders and black money behind their
white collared crimes. They have got their own constituency and man power to litter physical
attacks on all our party offices. 200 co ordinates died and 530 people got injured with this
series of attacks.

If one dies, it’s a tragedy.


If million die, its statistics.
A famous saying I have read but I don’t agree with this as I know the value of my
mother, father, brother and sister and saw my brother and sister in every corpse. My eyes
flooded with tears and spent sleepless nights. I was unable to digest that incident for many
years.

Now the severity levels of the victims’ pains demanded action not consolation, attacks
not talks, rapid affect not slower transition. I issued ‘shoot on sight’ orders on the arrogant
activists. The only option I was left with to bring back peace and security to public.

Hundreds of hooligans, tens of activists, couple of bad leaders and some police men
were killed in this series of firings. I turned a life threat to most of the corrupted feudalists and
factionists and reached the top of their hit list. This violence turned a black mark to my political
career as circumstances went out of my hands and police attacks are inevitable.

Now human rights commission and victim’s relatives along with consolidated opposition
started abusing me and raised the slogan ‘dictator to be demolished’. After such serious series
of events I resigned the post. Even at that stage also I took careful steps in assigning all my
duties and responsibilities to a worthy and efficient leader.

Innovative Initiative Page 21

I might manage that scenario without resignation but my ethics and moral values made
me to do so. Contrary to my expectations, this resignation won millions of hearts and they
assembled in huge numbers at my residence to show their support and wanted me back into
the post I left. I turned, sorry I emerged as an unstoppable powerful leader. I am for the people,
to the people and now by the people.

Now my job and life are complete with experiences and achievements. A new team of
young and energetic leaders were taking care of my VGC and political party. I don’t believe in
hereditary system in transferring powers. If any of our team’s off springs are eligible to that job
then definitely we prefer them.

I hope all my achievements made my living a worthy one. All these memorable
moments are surplus enough to recollect and refresh my mind at this age. My dreams at 25
turned achievements at 55. This is what I called success. From my grand father to grandsons
everyone has a pride of smile with my name.

This is my life. Thank you all……………………………………
