Dear good friend VKG spoke to me after a long long time. He is one of the close friends at Indore with whom I have shared some of the fine moments of life.
Though IIMIndore is history now and I have no interest with IIMIndore, but some good three plsu years of life has gone there and many of the good things I had made it possible at Indore, Fellow Program, Broadband, Journal, Post Doctoral Program, international conference..... so many things. Everytime in those moments VK and Ashish had motivated me a lot.
Its good to know from VK about things changing positively at IIMI under the captainship of new Director. I have never met him nor did I talk to him ever, but from VK it seems he is doing a great job. I have seen this boldness in decision making with many people in academics and he has shown such charisma also.
I had a very wrong perception about him initially although my perception has no meaning, but one should not judge a person in short term, he should be judged in long term. when I look at him and his decisions, I can read noble intent that he wants to remove the weeds and bring fresh culture inside the organization where everything will be judged objectively.
Thanks VK, for showing me the real light. Any interest with IIMIndore ? definitely no, as some people illo treated me at the last two months of my time. But I have no complain.
Forgiveness is a great virtue and forgiveness means life moving ahead. Life moving ahead means more progress and more learning. Staying back with old stuff is painful and getting involved into the same set of mindness.
It gives a great relief to talk to VK after such a long time, it has been more than 13 months and time flies bullet these days.
