The Smile Santa

H V Goenka

I am penning this page with a lot of respect for the great human whom the world knows as 

The H V Goenka….the name itself sounds mighty King Size

However to me he is my beloved Sir ji the smiling magician who touches lives with his kind words …touched mine too …read on…

I was living in a confined world of my own till the #Demonetisation was imposed on Indian Economy, this wasn’t a reason to worry for me as I barely use cash…but then on 10^th Nov I received a What”s App forward of a BJP leader showing off with his 20lakhs of new currency bills

The citizen in me was furious and I decided to make my voice heard so I created my Twitter account…couple of days were trying as I was learning.

One day I spotted this beard man’s Tweet ‘I feel like Gabbar when ever I visit an ATM” it was so apt to the situation then.. I immediately liked and re-tweeted it … started following the handle and nicknamed the Beard Man “Gabbar”….later I discovered him to be the RPG Chief … but I prefer to call him The “ CEAT Man”.

Since then its been a religious routine to wait for “Gabbar “ to appear on his Time line…in so many months I have had many occasions when we interacted on his T/L no matter its late night …like many regular fans of his I never missed any of his Tweets …more so after he changed his DP with his Million$ Smile.

Of late I had been juggling so many things at home that my energy levels dipped…and I was down with Malaria. I missed my routine…many of my friends called to ensure everything was okay, received many DMs(direct message)….

Of which there was one very cute DM “Kaiase hain aap, sab khairiyat?” the sender was non other than my Sir ji…what a pleasant surprise!!!

His experienced eyes found me missing and his simplicity didn’t stop him from dropping a message for me…I couldn’t have asked for more…recovered with double the speed and am back.

.

Sir ji for the world you may be a Corporate Honcho, a Multi Billionaire…..for me you are the” Smile Santa” who has taught me to aspire through your inspirational thoughts that pour out of your years of experience.

Sir Ji I look forward to meet you some day....however I won’t be in a hurry…there’s more thrill in longing...

Signing off....with more to follow from the diaries of Smile Santa...
