A Very Good letter from Satyam Employee!!..an inspiration for all

A letter from Satyam Employee!! Good one..

Dear All,


I (Satyam Employee) am deputed at client location and came across a very interesting conversation in cafeteria yesterday.

One of my co-worker, also deputed with the same client through some lesser known two room company, mustered guts to ask me sarcastically in front of entire team,
"So, Satyam is gone! What are you guys planning to do now?" In normal circumstances, I have a habit to not to reply to lose talks, but in front of entire team....

I thought I need to fix this guy's thought process. I asked him, as my military training has imbibed in me the habit to fight till last breadth,

"Who says Satyam is gone when I am very much alive here and committed to create value on behalf of my company?". He shot back, "Hello Mr., your chairman has
resigned, you guys are facing financial turbulence and you still have a face to say that Satyam is not gone!"

At this juncture, I thought of replying to this guy in his own language. I asked him, "Tell me, what will you do and where will you go if our country India was not
there?"

He was not prepared for this level of thought and asked back, "What a stupid question, How can India be gone, it is a country?"

I asked him back, "Country! What makes a country? Land? Economy? Our Prime Minister? Our President? Our Geography? Or the PEOPLE? If our PM resigns, will you say India is gone? If our economy faces a slowdown, will you say India is gone? But yes, if the people of a country are lost for any reason, we will say that country has no meaning. Who cares of vast land of Antarctica today which has just one permanent resident, Father Georgy? Which country does it belongs to? Why does not it has any government? Why does not it has any economy? Or, how many countries were there when humans used to hunt for food in pre-historic times? Countries, Wealth,
Infrastructures and booming economies are nothing but creations of efforts of PEOPLE, and they do not have any existance on their own.

And the final blow was,

"When one man can create Satyam as an organization of 53,000 people, why not 53,000 committed people can rebuild one SATYAM?"
