"Show me a Hero and I will write you a tragedy" - F. Scott Fitzgerald
The above words from F.Scott Fitzgerald kept playing in my mind as I was reading the statement from the Chairman of Satyam Computers Mr. Ramalinga Raju where he explains the accounting irregularities of the firm that he founded and built. A true Hero whose business acumen helped build Satyam , a son who made his father proud with his achievements, a beloved leader of fifty thousand employees, a social reformer who created programs for the upliftment of people from various strata in the society, a wonderful father to his two sons and now … ? I wonder which act gives more joy to the society – Celebrating a Hero or witnessing a tragedy?

Definitely I want to celebrate a hero, at worst it may be a fairy tale. Just the optimism enhances life. A leader inspires people to be at their best.
But, a tragedy affects more lives, even if it later proves to be an error. A tragedy makes cynics out of believers.
