Dedications

Rata Tata's demise, would be a void that may never get filled, by any business tycoon world wide. With capitalist greed of business moghuls, it is just profits and personal consumption of materialism and ugly display of wealth. For Ratan is was profits which can benefit society at large. For him business was for nation building. A tradition that Tata Group always stood for. Something no business house can stand up to the towering levels of the Tata Group towards national growth, progress and humanity.

Philanthropical and charitable works of Tata Group is public knowledge. Ratan took the levels of reaching out not just for humans but for his love for dogs also. Stray dogs are not driven away from the prestigious Taj Mahal hotel, but given shelter. Simple act of reflective collars for stray dogs so they don't get driven over by motorists at night. In a dog eat dog world, here is a man who teaches humans not be like dogs, but to be human towards not just their own but also towards animals.

In a broken corrupt world, Ratan was an example of business ethics and standards. Not compromising on values of integrity and honesty. In India corruption levels are so ugly visible, with big businesses and infrastructure projects given as gift hampers to one or two business houses. Ratan ensured the legacy of the Tatas gifting back to Indians.

Shameless ministers, business men would be giving their hollow, soul lacking eulogy of how great Ratan was and how he was an inspiration, when under their collar it would be perspiration of shame. Maybe they need to wear a dog reflective collar to reflect on Ratan and how they can emulate him.

Goodbye Tata. May your soul Rest in Peace and may your life be an example for a world seeking peace, justice and humanity
