Meet My friends series: Dr. Sakthivel!

Meet Mr. Sakthivel! True to the first part of his name, he understands that the real power is in feminine form in this world, at his home and in his whatsApp groups. The second part of his name, in Tamil, denotes a weapon. Though divine, the weapon can qualify to be as dangerous as any other sharp edged armory. However, the man himself is not armed. In fact, his own bodily arms are used only for folding to extend respect to others and clapping against other’s achievements, however much silly or insignificant they may be.

The man does not own stocks of the commercial group ‘Lodha’ in Mumbai. He is not a known authority in the literary skills of ‘Tamil’. But, when those two words are put together, he is the single most authority in the township. Anywhere, if someone talks about Lodha and Tamil or Tamizhar, Dr. Sakthivel’s name will inevitably precede or follow the core conversation. Yes. The man is a doctor. One of the very rare occasions, Dr. Sakthivel will get angry is when he is not called as Dr. Sakthivel (People close to him claim that this change in behavior happened only after he watched a Tamil movie called ‘Sathi Leelavathi’) Dr. Sakthivel is not a modern day Krishna, but clearly is the savior of ‘damsel in distress’ and his status in the WhatsApp groups run by him almost equals to demigod… Meet Dr. Sakthivel!

Dr. Mallya and India

I am not an economist. I am not sure what this means to Indian economy and finally affects a common man. I can assume a very little, considering huge sums in several political scams. However, having flown KingFisher during Good Times, would like add a fact for the record: Dr. Mallya tried his level best to introduce world class Air Travel Service in India and succeeded to great extent despite losses. He even sold his family silver for a loss making Airlines to keep afloat in the skies, for us to have a 5 star flying experience.

I am not a shrewd businessman. However, I strongly feel that buying off Air Deccan and paying huge sums was his only and greatest mishap in running KingFisher. He made business loss there. Mind you, he brought better service flying those Deccan Aircrafts, re-painted and re-branded and almost for the same cost for an Indian Air traveler and adding the world class service that he always believed an Indian should experience during an Air Travel. He is the best host that an Indian businessman can ever be or can ever become. Period.

As far business loss and settling with banks, I do not know any details and cannot comment. One thing, if any, I have to criticize strongly against Dr. Mallya is – KingFisher not having paid the employees. Whatever the excuse, the employees should have been paid and Dr. Mallya, in exile or not, should arrange to pay the outstanding salaries to the employees. Once done, he is as good as or, in most ways, a better businessman India ever had who treated his customers as guests who visited his home.
