And for another Friday ….. a memorable event in Mumbai … a book launch Function ….some thoughts … some musings ……

My former colleague the then CEO of the Agricultural Division was enthused by his Grand kids & facilitated by his son in Canada ….. to go down memory lane for 8 decades …..outcome an Autobiography whose simplicity of words is matched by the sleek narration , with a gripping suspenseful turn of events …. It was an unstoppable experience to read the Autobiography ….. the Author Kumarasamy a veteran of the Indian Agricultural Inputs Industry has penned his amazing life story under the title “ My three Mothers “ …. The title instantly draws curiosity … but the chapters get more intriguing when you realise that at 6 months the Author becomes an Orphan ….. the village is hit by Buboonic plague …. The storyline moves like a Thriller movie ….. a Tamilnadu village Tamil medium school boy …….retiring as CEO in one of the largest MNCs operating in India …..as the author himself says a story of Love ..Loss & Legacy ……
Like ……., in India book writing is not very common or easy ……. more so an Autobiography …. Kumar explained very lucidly … if one has the determination … is provided a congenial environment & an undisturbed ambience …..Memories then flow seamlessly into words …. The Autobiography is born……Ooofff!!! … can’t believe it’s so simple …..at the launch function the consensus by those of us who had read the advance copy & Kumar’s close family was …. He needed to write two more versions …. One for the future generation of his family …..children of his Grandchildren ….. to whom he would convey the legacy of love, respect & gratitude towards one’s parents-not necessarily biological but all those who made sacrifices for one’s welfare ……
Like ….., let’s all preserve the fun ,thrill & excitement of reading the printed versions of books …. Over the e-Kindal varieties…. Let’s enjoy reading …. the ‘old-fashioned way …., the enjoyable way ….. the SEEGOS Way.
