My heart went out to RR as well. I think he got carried away with all the ‘Satyam’ glory – I think he cared for Satyam’s image – that he was blinded – he did not know that he was creating a huge mess for himself and other Satyam stakeholders. You are right- ‘he did not know how to run a public company’- he took personal risks that were unnecessary.

While his fall is a big punishment in itself – do you think that he is really apologetic now? I feel that he will try to ward away justice by making use of corruption – influential folks in India… Also, do you think that he will lose all the wealth he has amassed over the years (over and above what was his fair share?).
Also, we will never know- whether he went down this fraudulent path to safeguard Satyam’s image or because of greed /to make more money…
Though my heart goes out to him in someways- I am not sure if he is really a changed man- if he really deserves our sympathies…

If a person writes differently or holds a view contrary to your own, they must be deliberately trying to be different. Interesting point of view. While that’s clearly an opinion, I have to point out to you that its wrong. As I stated in my previous response, “trying to be different to get attention” is the ailment of the very young & the unsure. I have enough accomplishments, age & confidence to be myself. Let me say this politely – You don’t know me.

I was under the impression that Mr Raju comes from a wealthy family, born with a silver spoon. But yes – he will pay for his crime. I don’t condone what Mr Raju has done, I’m very sad about his fall from grace.

About Satyam, when a person from very humble beginnings could commit himself to such cheap means for money and fame, it definitely evokes a lot of anger. The politicians and criminals have the surroundings and society to account for their deeds to certain extent, but this scam is entirely attributed to greed.

I don’t think I quiet get you:

“All your posts , try to just think different. Thinking Different leads to innovation but not necessarily make you right.”

Are you saying I should try to think differently about all my posts? Or, are you saying I’ve tried to be – somehow forced myself to be – different in all my posts? Neither are exactly complimentary. If I’ve misunderstood your comment, please let me know. If not, here’s what I have to say to you:

I’m not trying hard to think differently. I am what I am. With all due respect, you are judging me & you don’t know me from Eve. I’m not a confused young woman that needs to draw attention to herself by being “different”. Next, I’m not innovating – not inventing the next i-pod – simply giving a vent to my feelings. “Right” & “Wrong” don’t apply to that terrain. You can agree or disagree with my feelings, but that’s different.

There’s no doubt in my mind that Mr Raju deserves his punishment. But, not all bhoothams will come out. The whopping big ones – politicians – will get out unscathed.
