Two Heroes and One More

It was at one of the inaugural functions of a this-or-a-that where it all began. Goenka was a veteran by then and Ambani, the chairperson (CEO’s did not exist then) of 20^th Century India Private Ltd. It was one of the few times when money entered before the pen and did some nasty talking. “He is after all a pen-pusher.” And that sparked off all the rivalry between the two. While one made for the headlines for all the twisted routes he employed, the other showed how a pen can bring the heart of the other to come under the knife. Offices were burned, and bigger headlines made. Attention crazy politicos made some money and won a few votes. It was fought bitterly and shook the press. However this fight made two heroes. One – Ambani (there is nothing called negative publicity) and Capitalism. The law twister became the hero. Amitabh Bachan and other big stars of that age started acting the role of the villain. And Goenka? Well he was anyways a hero. And he shall remain so.
