One of the reasons why the entire team put in those efforts including going back home after 48 continuous hours at times was because of Ramesh - not that he asked any of us to stay back. I sometime wish all bosses were like him. The problem that you face when you have worked with Ramesh and then others is that none of them live us to the set standards. I also read some of older posts regarding VIP visits and was in fits o laughter and remembered quite a few of these fables. In fact there were some more which I remembered hearing about - not sure if they were true or not, but were passed on each generation and I guess widened the aura (for the good or bad I dunno) around those people when you actually saw them in flesh and blood.Satish Shenoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263056523282998375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740849900073154554.post-12948492246210969222009-06-21T15:40:01.720+05:302009-06-21T15:40:01.720+05:30Hi Ramesh, I may be all what you say including che...Hi Ramesh, I may be all what you say including cheeky. <br />However to all your blog readers if you want some details as to what kind of a person Ramesh is do ask me (am sure most people know in any case). In the company we both worked for, there was a consistent view across that he was one of the best human beings and managers one has ever known. Very down to earth and a real nice person is what you constantly get to hear about Ramesh. I have not till date heard (even one single comment) negative comment about him. The only one which I heard which could potentially border around being considered negative, is the fact that he is at times too nice a person. What does one say to having that kind of reputation. And you would not expect such kind of praise from a CA and especially not from other MBA's. So to a great guy a very happy birthday. Am sure even the Chinese are impressed. :)<br />Cheers<br />SatishSatish Shenoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263056523282998375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740849900073154554.post-10988268871209946572009-06-21T14:55:39.219+05:302009-06-21T14:55:39.219+05:30Hi Ramesh!

See that you have not lost your sense ...Hi Ramesh, <br />See that you have not lost your sense of humour (the comment about me being too young!!). I keep telling Preeti exactly that (the young bit) and she for some reason does not seem to believe me. hmm strange.<br />Whilst I am a CA, the last thing in the world I would ever recommend to anyone would be to become an accountant. I wanted to be a Doctor but could not stand the sight of blood. Was good at balancing accounts and see what it got me into. Having said that I don't think I am a good accountant since I am told when you ask how much is 2+2 a really good accountant would ask how much you want it to be. I tend to get 4 only. Life is a nightmare however when you have some issues with accounts closing and I still remember how many nights we stayed back in Indigo trying to send the TB's out and invariably there would be one that got stuck - horrible feeling.Satish Shenoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263056523282998375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740849900073154554.post-70866169381652357792009-06-20T20:07:59.240+05:302009-06-20T20:07:59.240+05:30not so easily.. :p.. think think.. ;) (wuhuhahahah...not so easily.. :p.. think think.. ;) (wuhuhahahahah)A journey called Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09957576311383232506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740849900073154554.post-21615497734091020602009-06-20T19:48:23.669+05:302009-06-20T19:48:23.669+05:30@Preeti - Thanks so much.
