In my years of doing business, I have had my fair share of failures. When it happened, I told myself that there is no shame in this if I learnt a lesson. I picked myself up, brushed myself off, and carried on.

But once, I had a crooked foreign partner who absconded. I lost all my savings and was in debt for two years after. Ironically, this was the only partner who started every sentence with the prefix: “…believe me, Shankar!”

Now, isn’t this a little bit like our leaders at the moment?
