Thank you Ratan Tata the Man of Steel

Dear Mr Ratan Tata,

If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have known a businessman who did business not to amass wealth and earn a fortune for himself, but also to create jobs for the masses and make a difference to the way a nation lived.

As you did in your initial years at the helm of the Tata Group, you continued to be in a league of your own till the last day in office. You've lived by values, for passion and with integrity. Only a chosen few could ever possibly emulate your feat not only in the business frontier, but also in all that you've done to the way business is conducted. Not many did and would exhibit the grit and courage that you have way too many times in challenging in the open various government policies, be it corruption or a malfunctioning bureaucracy in the administrative backyard. Your persistence advocacy of clean business administration should become part of academic curricula!

Your contribution in taking the Tata conglomerate into every household in India and many other countries - from steel to software to automobile to what not - shall be considered material for fairytales for a long time to come.

Off the business table, I'd nurture an enduring pictorial memory of you co-piloting an F-18, the Super Hornet, into the skies. You're also probably the most good looking Indian business person. 

I congratulate you for being a 'man of steel' in the true sense!

Sincerely,
A social observer.
