Genious Profile !


Its been just 3 weeks since I have joined my new office down town and its more of a honey moon period right now. The work flow has not really started to come and as of now most of the time I end up having a good time in the pantry !
The other day I saw a middle aged man wearing a smart suit without a tie approaching a couple of us in the canteen. By the look of it we understood that he was some senior guy in the office. he had this unique spunk in him. He smiled to us and introduced himself as a Head of one of the departments. He said that he had this habit of meeting new joinees informally. So thus started a round of introduction in which he asked for our educational background and workex. Though he was not very pleased when I told him this was my 4th job in two years. Further he also asked about our goals and our job profile here. Heard all of us very patiently and gave some gyan on the various happenings in our organization. He told that he was the incharge of all the committees . While mentioning the committees he also told that their was a quiz committee. That was enough. I jumped on the table and told him that I was very much interested in joining the quiz committee. He was about to leave when my friend asked him how to reach where he was . He smiled back . But my friend , also a CAT aspirant who has this inane habit of asking people from which B school they had graduated from was not content with the smile. He inquired for the qualifications of the person . The answer followed.
He told that was a graduate of BITS Pilani and at the age of 23 he passed his IAS. I was full of respect for him immediately. The story had just started for all of us. He further told that us he was a COLLECTOR of a district in Kerala. He then added that he was part of the committee / group which established IIM - Khozikhode. My mind went back to last years CAT which I screwed up. Me and my colleagues were spell bound by now. PC Sarkar was more predictable. The man however had not replied to the original B school question. Then he said that he left IAS some time back and did his MBA from London School of Business. After his MBA he had worked as an analyst with some top European firm in UK for some years . By this time I had become a complete fan of him . We were just spell bound and mesmerised.
What else do you expect from a languid graduate whose dreams are unlimited ?
