Dr. Rajkumar and Bangalore's Woes

All of us read/heard about the recent demise of Dr.Rajkumar, the screen icon, demi god of the Kannadigas. I won’t comment on the image some of folks have created for the IT Capital of our country but I would like to focus on something that has been missed by most of the mass media totally.
It was reported in one of the channels that 95% of the population with the IT firms didn’t work. What they didn’t say is how the 5% population worked. What was conveniently overlooked, or cautiously ignored, or unknowingly not reported, was the 5%. With the IT work force in hundreds of thousand it was by no means a small and ignorable population. Yet, they were.
What wasn’t reported was the panic that parents expressed, especially for their daughters and took them away as soon as the news of the legend’s death broke; not reported was, besides other things, also that some people stayed back in office for close to 3 days to help the business continue running, to assure the clients that, yes, we have a problem, but we can still deliver almost close to BAU (Business As Usual).
These champions across the industry were ignored, but I want us all to acknowledge their efforts-not by doing anything- but simply acknowledging that we are still a population that has conscience, take our duties seriously and will do anything possible to continue running ‘the motor of the world’ as Ayn Rand calls it in ‘Atlas Shrugged’
