For P N C Menon moving up from From Rs 50 in the pocket to making it to number 754 in the last Forbes list of the world's billionaires, is quite an impressive and glorious achievement.
But where is the need to gloat so much? Consider this:
"I entered Oman in 1976, and in 1984, I (yes, I) was in the top 4. By 1986-87, my (yes, MY) company, The Services and Trade Group of Companies, became a leader in the industry. Even now, I am (yes I yam, not we yaar) the market leader there."
We decided to do the interiors of buildings, a continuation of what I was doing in Kerala. It was an international market but I was only a street-side contractor. Street-side contractor means you had only a briefcase with you; not even a great office. I was like a fisherman, going to the sea to fish, going to the market to sell the catch and make a living. The beginning was very, very small.
Without a bat of an eye-lid Menon's "we" slips into a series of "I, me and mine".
So what happened to that gentleman -- Brig Gen Suleiman Al Adawy -- whom he met in a hotel lobby in Kochi and who invited P N C Menon over to his place in Oman to do something together ?
Whither The Services and Trade Group of Companies?

Shake Hasina lot of water flown under the bridge so do not bother. Atleast he did mention, where if you were given the oppurtunity not even bother to say things which you should be saying even now. Now shut up do not rake up things which will stink.
