I was fortunate to have an opportunity to be in his surprise Graduation party on his completion of PhD. Then, he told a personal story of his struggling days. I always get amused by such stories and I hope I am not disseminate his personal information. Rudra Pandey, during his hard days used to work in a PARKING LOT. (This is by no means trying to defame working in parking lot. Just an example of how RP used that.). He was trying hard to sustain life and education. Instead of collecting money and giving back the slips alone he also distributed his RESUME from the windows of parking lot booth to the customers of the parking lot. One, Fleet Bank Executive, who happened to be a customer noticed this man boasting of his computer and software skills from the little hole of the window who works as an attendent, possibly undertable . The Bank Executive and his staff were trying to solve some problem for past three months unsuccessfully. The Executive saw no harm and wanted to give a try on this guy from parking lot. And yeah, the guy (Rudra Pandey ) from parking lot, solved the problem within matter of days independently ! He was hired as Consultant to that Bank (Fleet Bank) right away! Since then his road to success has not been that rough ( I believe).
