DS at courtyard marriott Bangkok

During pre partition era , Around Lahore , a small engineering firm owned by an young engineer gets a contract from British firm  to develop and design railway engine . Owner who himself is an engineer is passionate and lead his team that involves few other including a Punjabi handsome young  man and a lady who is relatively older by age  to him . 

But as the  day of reckoning come near  - the owner develop a cold feet and realises that it is not possible to have the product ready within assigned time frame  . Owner loses his interest and withdraws from the project . Handsome Punjabi man and old lady feel dejected , however they continue to work together in late hours on this project . 

When  British inspection team visit  , Owner and his management team welcome them with hospitality but do not muster courage  to break the news of their failure . When the inspection team visit the development room - they are in for a big surprise - There is a Prototype ready for display . Owner  is aghast , surprised and delirious with joy .....

Now Fast forward ...................

United India is split into Pakistan and India  ...... all of them have now migrated and are part of india . Owner  is now a business conglomerate and run several companies . Their company has  now have developed cutting edge medical technology  equipment and now ready to announce to the world ... and he remembers these two people from Lahore . How he wished that they could come and see this technological marvel and seek their feedback and give their blessings. 

I  get a call from him to bring old lady with me . He calls me again after few hours if I started from my home. However,   I  decide against taking her . She is far too old to travel . As a mark of respect , I decide to visit on my own . I think of Punjabi Handsome man .... He had passed away some years ago .. but becoming a legend in another industry .

This man is Raj Kapoor and old lady is my mother ......

Hi was looking for an email id to touch base with you. Didn't find one hence using this medium. Stumbled upon your blog en route my net search on Dr. Ashok Tulpule. Like him, you are a maverick and the depth and discipline of your idiom both are delightfully striking. Loved the piece on Dr. Tulpule. Cheers sudhir www.coastaldelights.blogspot.in
