Mr Rais Khan is a retired IBM and Etisalat Executive who has worked across the globe. He’s one of the kindest friends I have whom I consider a mentor as well. He’s also an author of a famous memoir called The Accidental Gypsy (shorturl.at/dqtMW).
Here’s Mr Rais Khan:
I am one of those few people who had been very lucky in life to go through the tight lanes of poverty to the huge Vista of prosperity and popularity. When I travel my memory lane couple of very bright faces come to my recollection who are responsible for building me into who I am.
Most successful people when they give credit for their success they mention their professors, some successful rich mentors in the form of their professional seniors or bosses or some, famous writers and consultants and so on.
If I honestly try to look for the lamp post of my success first name and face that comes to my mind is ChaCha (Uncle) Emad.
In Aligarh University, India every 3 rooms was assigned a waiter, crudely called a helper who was responsible for cleaning the rooms, serving food from the dining room to 10 or 12 students under his responsibility, taking care of their laundry, making their beds and doing every task which a mother is supposed to do in the infancy except changing the diapers.
