Dear Mohan,

In our busy lives we seldom notice exceptional people who look quite ordinary. I wish to recount such an incident to you when I had hired a man, who was 52 years old named Patol Babu for a minuscule role. He just had to utter one word ‘Oh’! I was told later by my staff and other people that Patol Babu, after the initial disappointment, had practiced that word in all different kind of ways. He gave a superb performance but we were too busy with other technicalities and looking after the lead actors to notice it. I was amazed to discover that he did not wait in the end to collect his money. Maybe we have erred in some way. I am sure we did not value his capability. Nevertheless I will go to his home personally and try to make amends and talk to him. That will really ease my guilt. Will share the rest with you later.

Your friend,

Naresh Dutt
