Episode - 4

Rishi & Guru were outstanding students in their school as well as in college. Also, they were good at train and teach other students as well. But these factors are not enough to start new company. Rishi also realized this.

Hence Rishi accepted his Dad’s word and said, “Yes Guru. Dad… We will follow what ever you are telling. Guru and I will complete our MBA. After that we will discuss about opening a new company.”

Jeeva felt proud of his sons as they understood his good intention and followed his words.

Guru and Rishi became too much serious on their studies and completed their CAT entrance exam. Even though they got good marks, they were not able to join same IIM college. Rishi joined his PG in Kanpur and Guru joined Kolikode IIM.

Rishi’s project in IIM got many awards internationally and completed his PG studies. Same way Guru also got good

scores and completed his PG without any obstacle.

Once they completed their MBA, Jeeva without hesitation helped them to start IT company in Coimbatore by investing entire money. That’s how 5 years before Varma info Tech established with the blessings of Jeeva and their grandma Parvathi.

Everything went very well. If it has been not Guru’s mistake couple of years before, then there would not be a Chennai Varma info tech branch only. Because of Guru, Jeeva would have not left Rishi in Coimbatore and gone to Chennai to stay with him.

May be Jeeva would have not met Mithra’s family whose home is in Chennai. For Guru, Jeeva would have not left all his real-estate businesses in Coimbatore as well and came to Chennai. It is already been 2 years when Guru came to Chennai.

In this Chennai branch only, Mithra was working past 6 months. President of Chennai branch is Guru only. So, Guru know about Devi very well. Now, Jeeva asking Mithra to work in same company but in Coimbatore branch as there could be no one aware who is Mithra.

Right now, Varma Info Tech running many good projects. This is all because of Rishi’s hard work and Guru’s support in all his decision only.

Of course, Mithra not joined from back door into Varma Infor Tech. Actually, Mithra already got selected in big IT company which is there in Banglore when she was in her college by campus interview itself.

But because she does not want to leave her parents alone, she accepted the Jeeva’s recommendation to join in Chennai Varma info Tech company.

She still did not forget the voice which she heard from phone which strictly said, “You would have come to this company by my Dad’s recommendation. But do not expect any special treatment. I just give opportunity to attend the interview. Other than that, everything will be based on your own talent. Remember it Miss.Devi.”

Yeah that is Jeeva’s Son Rishi’s voice only. Even though Mithra did not meet Rishi in person, she already talked with him many times in phone after joined the company for project specifics.

Rishi never talked anything extra other than work. Hence, Mithra always have respect on him. He usually come to Chennai branch every 3 months. In this past 6 months when Mithra joined, he came only once. Still Mithra did not get chance to meet him in person. Mithra started thinking those memories about Rishi just when Jeeva talked about Coimbatore branch.

As Mithra is in thoughts about Rishi, Jeeva asked her by seeing her unfocused, “What happened Mithra. Why are you not answering?”

Mithra regained her thoughts and saw Jeeva. Then she remembered that Jeeva asked her, ‘How do you say that the people in Coimbatore branch know about?’

Mithra smiled at her Uncle and said, “See Uncle. Now technology grown beyond our thinking. Coimbatore branch Divya is my Social media friend. I have talked with her in video chat many times. So, she knows my face.

Only my name change will not be useful for me to join Coimbatore branch. Now tell me Uncle. Should I join in Coimbatore branch to suffer their pitying eyes on me again.”

Jeeva well aware of Mithra’s stubbornness. Hence felt helpless to convince her to accept his decision. When he became spiritless suddenly, he got some spark to redirect her attention.

When Jeeva was about to talk, Mithra excitedly called out him. “Uncle. Uncle!! See here. Small small fishes…! They are coming near to my feet and touching often. Ha ha ha. It gives ticklish. It is so cute also.”

Yes, in that small stream water many little fishes surrounded near her feet and touched her feet.

By seeing her childish behavior back, Jeeva felt relieved and thought, ‘How many days has been she laughed like this.’ He also felt happy to she her smiling face. And explained to her, “This is called fish pedicure Mithra. If you are going to beauty parlor for pedicure that won’t be as good as this.”

After little pause Jeeva continued his speak to make her fall for his decision. “You know what, this stream is originated from heaven ganga water fall from kolli hill. It passed through many herbal plans. Hence it heals our body pain and few other health issues if we take bath in it. If I start explaining the benefits of it now, then day won’t be enough.” He laughed after said this.

Mithra watched Jeeva’s explanation without even blinking. He surprised to know the fact about herbs bath and natural pedicure. She is just been in a city and never know depth of natural benefits. So, she interested and ask, “This small stream of water has these many benefits! Interesting Uncle.”

Jeeva felt happy that Mithra is interested in natural factors. And felt relieved that Mithra not deprived completely on all the items. So, decided to use this factor to make Mithra accept his decision.

“Yes Mithra. I just know few things. But my Mom knows far more than this. If you are interested you can ask her when you meet.”

Mithra felt happy and said, “Really? You mean Grandma, is she knew all of these factors. I feel like I want to talk with her now itself and learn about all these things. Until I meet her, can you tell me the facts you know Uncle.”

Mithra asked and jumped on top of stone itself and gone near to Jeeva and held his hand with puppy face.

Jeeva with smile he said, “Mithra I will explain. But you can see. It is already going be night. Let’s discuss them when we travel. Come we will go to Car.”

Once she heard the word Card her face turned into dark like leaf hit the fire. She avoided eye contact with Jeeva and said while walking, “Let’s go Uncle.”

Jeeva saw her sad face and sighed. ‘I will definitely change you and find a way to make you happy again Mithra.’ Then he saw the cloud and prayed to god, “Oh Lord be with me and help me.”

Then they got into the car and started their journey towards Coimbatore.

They gone for little far, that time Jeeva’s phone ringed. Mithra turned to Jeeva and thought, ‘It may be Guru.’
