Sir M. Visvesvaraiah - In 2006!

It’s true and it’s me!

Here’s how this miraculous reincarnation happened:

Yesterday, after class, I was sitting in the library trying my best to figure out Philip Kotler’s A Framework For Marketing Management. If someone’s actually understood what’s in this book, I humbly request you to be my teacher. Fifteen minutes into my effort, I fell asleep — for another fifteen minutes. I then shifted camp (around 19:30 IST) to the college courtyard. Sometime later, a friend who happened to see me studying in the twilight, came across and said, “En Visvesvaraiah na taraha odtaaidhya. Library ilva?” [Translation: "Why are you studying like Visvesvaraiah when there is a library here?"]

There you go.

And the worst part: I was tongue-tied and speechless — something that does not happen very often.
