If i were

A rather dull life is what I yearn for, not that I lead an exciting one now.

Business is what I spew and believed in. There was a day when I did believe I’d be head one listed Co. (sigh….)

I had a business plan too. It was plain and simple. My biz group would typically have an integrated textile unit—from cotton to garments to branded apparels— a mid sized tea garden with an outlandish brand— yup to get that premium— and an investment arm to trade in errr… whatever.

The size of my group, I reckon would be just under Rs 1,000 crore and growing at least 15 percent annually. And yes to round off, I’d hold just under 35 percent in the company.

And here comes the dullest moment, I had a schedule chalked out too. The yellowing paper reads, office at 8:30 a.m, plant visit from 10:00-11:00, biz meeting between 11:00-12:00 and 12:00-1:00 to tie up loose ends. Lunch at 1:00. My personal mails after that and Tennis from 3:00 to 6:00. Finally some reading and TV before I snuggle in my cosy bed.

Throw in the monthly visits to my tea garden, and occasional biz trips abroad! (Yeah Rs 1,000 crore co., strives for 30 percent exports in four years, don’t you read that gyan in pink papers.)

Huh, big deal my dreams are paling faster than my schedule sheet. Here am working unearthly hours counting every penny , instead of commanding some Rs 700 crores of public money.

And when's the IPO? I hope to pick up some. Or maybe it will be a better idea to head the labour union of a company headed by a lazy bum ;-)
