First of all, cudos to Sarath. He has come up, the hard way. He deserves a lot of credit.
However, telling that how poor he was, how difficult it was for him for money to study etc. are utter non-sense.
1. How come you go to BITS Pilani Sarath?
It is one of the most expensive institutions.
2. How come you reach IIM-A Sarath?
Another institution with expenses which can not be borne by a normal engg grad, even with so called fees of scholarship. To have loans, you need to have other immovable assets. And you had it for sure.
3. How come you reject offers when you are so penniless Sarath?
Can anyone reject an offer (he was offer 9lakhs - now a days a software engineer gets 15 lakhs if he is good!). Even then 9 lakhs is a very good money for higher middle class family. Not for you?? !!
4. How come you visit you girlfriend so often without money Sarath?
Well, you seem to very smart in having girlfriend. But, where you find all the time, money and energy to do that when you are so poor?
5. How come you dress in a all new age dresses (branded jeans, t -shirts, every photo I have seen) Sarath?
This one beats it all. I can understand if someone is simply dressed. But I see you in branded t-shirts, jeans and shoes and that is from a penniless person?
We have seen people of true character (really without money when they did not have it). A Shastri in politics, a Murthy in Corporate or a running champion from Uganda even.
