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.

hi,
It is written that he worked in Polaris for 2-3 years. That's when he gathered money for IIM(A) and repaid all his loans.
For BITS Pilani, he was awarded schol loans. My husband is also from a village. He topped in his class, went to IIT and kicked his job offers after graduation. His dream was to do PhD from one of the top univs. So, he did it. Money does not matter if you have nourished a dream, a very powerful dream.

Oh yes. I have read this pseudo.
After joing polaris (worst company to join considering BITS, anyway he was offered a job!) he had tried 3 times every year for mba. It is another matter he could not get in in the first attempt.
Otherwise he would have joined.
What is funny that he has mentioned that in those years he has tried to pay off his loan!!! Another contradiction.

But you have all the money to have branded assesories, but you claim you do not have money.
6. How come you throw all the money spent during studying (Engg from BITs IIM-A = 20 lakhs plus) if you want to get into business?
For getting into business, you need not have all these degrees. Without them, (with the characters you have projected), you would have done just fine!
7. Now what is the aspiration. I do not give a damn about greed. But I need a car, I need a house, I need a girlfriend and I need a profitable business. Good lord! Stop this non-sense. Contradiction at its best.
Nobody is taking credit for your hardwork. It is deserved.
But, stop bit-ching on not having money and trying to get sympathy. Nobody is a fool. What you are saying is:
"Friends, I did engg from bits, and I did not have any money. I did not join any company after bits as I did not have money, hence I joined iim-a. After iim-a, i did not have money. So i did not take any offers."
Good heavens! Even a 5 yeard old kid will not believe it!!
I know in and out of scholarship at BITs. You can definitely study and do well with that.
But you can not go for a branded jeans/shirts, girfriend, do not take any offers after engg. and then go for iim-a. And again do not accpet offer and say that I do not have any money! That is ridiculous.

As it has been said by someone this is catering sense for business. He has done it with one engg college to give him business after his sympathy seeking speech (and nothing wrong with that).
But what is funny is he is crying for being poor, penniless, tough life et al.
You read the story of this @ Rediff.
The rickshawallah's son who cracked the IAS:
See Govind, see his face, his interview, his lifestyle, his way of doing things. Which is believable? This one or this pseudo one?
