I looked at my elegant TITAN watch on the wrist of my left
hand. It was seven. Quarter past seven. And as I looked at it, I could hear the
faint ticking of my wall clock, followed by intense silence. I was thinking.
These ‘thinking periods’ that I often went through were deep moments, during
which all of my senses went numb. Only my brain was active during these
minutes, and only the words inside it were audible to me.
Then slowly, as I began to release myself from this
over-whelming silence, I raised my hand in the air and shouted out loud.
“That’s it!” I couldn’t bear the wait any longer. I felt something boiling
inside me. And that, my friends, was the very famous rage of mine which you
must surely be aware of if you want develop an understanding for some of the
very crazy things you are going to hear from me in the future.
I was an ordinary common man living in the busy city of Pune
in India. I said ‘I was’. I had no
special talents or unique traits that differentiate the extra-ordinary from the
rest of the world. I was a very simple man with no aspirations or dreams of
becoming wealthy and well-known. But, dear reader, do note that I am using the
past tense in these sentences about my personality and reputation, which have
now remarkably changed. The story that you have now turned a page to read is
all about the incident that changed my entire life: everything.
Well, I would like to take a sentence from this book to
introduce myself. My name is Murthy, Satya Murthy. (I’m not as great as Mr.
Bond, but I’m trying my luck to get popular with you!) I was a Software
Engineer working in MADELLYNE. I shared a small cabin with one of my colleagues.
And that was where this story began.
