My story is about that day in
late 90s since when I met someone in remotest jungle.
Late nineties were some
interesting times. We had seen liberalization for half a decade. Sachin the
wonder boy had added multimillion coffers to BCCI and himself. IT industry was booming thanks to Y2k bugbear
created by one of the masterminds in IT space. Things were promising. I had
bagged the best paid job in IIT campus then.
With my first job in pocket felt like a king. I was a yuppie all set to
conquer the world. I stayed at company provided quarters in city like Mumbai. I
used to be chauffeured in a company provided car to commute from office to
Home. My first pay cheque had created ripples in my house. My company sent me
to Bangalore by newly launched Jet Air. I stayed at a five star hotel in
Bangalore. Every weekend we partied in south Bombay on Friday night. And i use to
visit my home in Pune on Saturday morning. I used to have another party on
Saturday night in Pune and travel back to Mumbai Sunday evening. Life was a big party. My whole family was
excited and whole world seemed to be at feet.
