Satyam-----The Real Story

I was at my home when Satyam CEO Ramalinga Raju came out with the astonishing truth leaving a commoner shocked,surprised and with an obvious choice that is, to hate him.The whole of media,Political icons and great economists hated him.He was everywhere- on the front page of the newspaper,in the TV Headlines or on the cover of esteemed magazines.We disliked him and we did that with unity.We were unanimously accusative.

I agree to all this.However,do we look at the other side of the story?He was a great man,a visionary and one of the greatest entrepreneurs.He did it for the country through all these years establishing a great corporation like Satyam.Although he might not have another way of escape,he was honest in accepting his fault.He did not play the "Blame-game" that our politicians are adept in.He made a mistake and that too a great one.He lost the faith of the common man.Greed Kills.He was no exception.But,should we play the same accusation game that we are good at.Should we remember him for what he did right?Should not we take the right lesson of confining to the laws of the land?Will this lesson end Corruption?
Should we learn from him or blame him?
The choice is ours.Lets make our choices friends...............
