Long lost colleague found

 

Above: Ravinder as a young leading steward


                                             Ravinder as a successful businessman


We have not met since he left the airlines. His last position was Inflight Supervisor with Singapore Airlines (SIA). He left in 1983 and that was 38 years ago. Last December I had the good fortune of meeting him. He is Ravinder Pal and now a very successful entrepreneur.
Ravinder is the CEO of his own company. His company provides advanced technology services to hotels around the globe. I won't go into detail about his company.
Last year when Ravinder heard that I was leaving for Japan, he hosted a dinner for me and some of our ex-colleagues at his private club.
In 2019, Ravinder sponsored a get-together for former MSA and SIA crew. He generously foot the bill for the party which 140 ex-colleagues attended. I was not present as I was in Japan.

Imo,one of the best IFS we had.His nemesis Shiok Boy,probably an operative done him,but I did not implicate,awaiting to his next belanja,if only can DM ,tell him the truth.But congrates on his success as CEO,next to Dr Foo,and Donald who left for London early on for law.It show,one can make it,without being in CC.Covid and Service are simply incompatable,like fire and water.If one can deduce,the forest still blocking the views of the Woods,safer to plant whatever one can than to claim jungle,its simply beyond normal means.Nobody want to say the obvious,neither do it,but God save us,Amen.

You are right,he left on his own,and started Video Org or something before it even heard off.Nemesis alas runways at CC,got 2 being michellin theme runway,overstayed the terms,while normal FSS got to 5 years.At the Inquiry,I did not snitched,which seems to be correct choice.Now covid time,depending on karma,wishes and blessings,tons of such positive vibes needed.Viva Ravi !

What a waste you didn't go for his kind generosity. You should ask him out by treating him dinner for your absence.

He gave me a farewell dinner at his club with some other ex colleagues.
This chap is very generous. He paid himself 16k a month as
Salary, I was told by someone. He drives a Jag.
