Guess who visited our office - the one and only Mr.Premji. It is kind of a pattern now - considering the fact that i am either writing on books i read or people visiting my office. But then you know what, even birth and death is a pattern. So let me just go ahead with my notes for the day ;)Jokes apart - i could not resist not attending the session where someone as experienced and accomplished as Premji would share his wisdom.
Everything said and done the start was not very impressive as he came a good half hour late. Dunno if he can blame it on the traffic here!! After that when he started talking, i must accept that i got completely hooked on to the session. He started of with some lessons to carry home and then continued into a Q&A session. Infact the lessons were nothing earth shaking - but to hear it from someone who has a big list of achievements against his name was impressive. Some of the work that his foundation does were quoted with some anecdotes which were pretty good. What swept the audience off the feet was his experience and dignity that he displayed. Well about dealing with business in India, he felt that there has to be a certain insensitivity that needs to be developed for the overall good.
Anything that he would like to change from his past - yes, to have spent more time with the family. Well you dont get everything in life and when the wisdom arrives it is always late for you to react!!
