Srinagar Diary

Image
Memories from my Srinagar trip in December 2005 It was an official visit from Infosys at the invitation of the then Chairperson of J&K Bank - Dr Haseeb Drabu (later he was Finance Minister in J&K Govt). The trip was memorable for many reasons - Mr N.R.Narayana Murthy (then Chairperson of Infosys) was in the same flight with me from Bengaluru to Delhi and I experienced a massive earthquake during my stay at Srinagar (6.8 on Richter scale) that shook the entire State.   My hopping flight from Bangalore to Srinagar via Delhi on 13th December 2005, was flying a famous passenger - NRN and I grabbed the opportunity to be seated next to him. After introducing myself, I told him the purpose of my visit to Srinagar - to make a presentation on Infosys' Data Warehousing offering to the Chairperson of J&K Bank, an Infosys customer. He wished me good luck and also asked me to convey his wishes to the Chairperson - Mr Drabu, whom he had met just a few months ago at the Infy campus. O
