“SAIRAM how are you?”…Suresh inquired and entered my office cabin with an excited smile, reflecting the happiness of meeting his friend (me) after one year since I left my previous company where we were working together for three years with lot of projects, debates and arguments, but respected each other though.
"Ha-ha!!! Welcome Sir, I'm fine, please be seated, how are you!!!” I too greeted him with surprised look, but my mind started pricking with the question why Suresh called me Sairam.
Suresh replied “Ya Sai fine with Sai Baba’s grace”. “Oh!!!Again, what happened to him? It sounds very strange, who is this Sairam?” thoughts stormed as the dust in my mind.
“So Sir what is the matter? It feels great seeing you after a long time, which I never thought it would happen.” I asked.
“Sairam...he is Ritheesh Sairam, running a business near our company. It was moving well with sustained profit share. But in recent times the orders drastically declined to the downfall” Suresh said. I turned to Ritheesh and acknowledged a hallo.
Suresh continued” Now his situation is worse that he couldn’t give the wages to the workmen in his company. He came to me seeking some help to grow his business. I brought him to you in the belief that any orders could be arranged from your company which would be a great help for him at current situation”
Thank god this time he didn’t mention Sairam, I thought he would’ve forgot to say so, the moment the voice heard
“Sairam, please do something” Suresh.
Hearing this I couldn’t hide the curiosity in knowing about it and I asked “Sure Sir we can and I’ll try my best to do so…but before that please explain for the God sake who is that Sairam, why you are calling me and everyone with the quote Sairam? Whether he is a saint in any temple of any ashram or you have got any debt from him with the condition to tell his name for every two words you speak?”
