Many have a inner feeling to play Godfather in their lives
they would like to enjoy the power of presiding over the lives of others and enjoy the role of playing friend ,philosopher and guide besides distribute and dispense
favours and decide the lives of others .
I have come across a few in my long life
I do not know whether to like them or hate them
I shall share my experience of two of them
when I was in an IIT , the department in which I was a student{ mathematics department] was presided over by one professor
I joined that dept after one engg degree as I could not get a job as those days engg jobs were hard to get
the professor would take personal interest in each PG and research student
after I collected a degree from that dept when I met him after 2 or 3 months after finding I was doing nothing and playing around , banged me and told me to join
the dept as a research student with monthly payment of scholarship
He made me take Maths tutorials[I am an engineer} for Under graduates.lol
besides, he kept watching over me about the research work I was supposed to undertake.He even made me write two papers for publication
slyly I was trying for jobs and wanted to get away . one day he called me and asked me sternly if I had applied for a particular job outside , I sheepishly said
yes. he stared at me for a moment and suddenly smiled and said land up for the interview ,as he is the outside expert
He got me the job and got me without asking four increments I had not asked for .
Later , When I asked me what happens to my research , he told me to get out of his dept, and threw me out. great experience
second when I wanted a job in delhi after several years of experience. I wanted a job in delhi due to family commitment in delhi my hometown.
one of my classmates introduced me to his boss , a south indian brahmin[tirunelveli iyer]
he went thru my biodata and asked me whether I belong to tirunelveli?. then, he asked me if I will be a good boy[ I was over 30 about
35yrs] in his department. I do not know what that meant? I nodded. He said my men in interview board will select you and took me in the organisation'
he had a fatherly approach towards boys in his department
He presided over my wedding reception and told my wife how to look after me
that year he dispensed justice not giving promotion to me for one year as I was happy after wedding and would not miss not being promoted. lol
He had an arbitrary way of deciding what was good for me and other boys in the dept
no one could ever refuse him as he played god father to the hilt
one colleague who wanted to marry a foriegner was stopped by him from going abroad based on input from the boys family and forced him to marry a traditional
brahmin girl.
After these experiences I would like to run as far away as possible from Godfathers
