He had learned the movie’s real lesson:
Desperate, Raghav remembered a line from the Hindi movie Dictator (2016) that his daughter once made him watch: “Jo apni galtiyon ko maaf nahi kar sakta, woh doosron ki galtiyan kabhi maaf nahi karega.” (One who cannot forgive his own mistakes will never forgive others’ mistakes.)
Raghav smiled and pointed to the new sign on his door: “Captain, not dictator. Tea breaks at 11. Suggestions welcome.”
But one Friday, after a minor heart attack, the company board gave him an ultimatum: “Change your style in 30 days, or retire.”
“How did you do it?” asked the CEO.
His office door had a sign: “My way or the highway.”
