His father’s roots are from a remote village called Palnat Agaram off Vellore in Tamil Nadu while his mother hails from Ponur, a village near Mayiladuthurai in Tamil Nadu. Ram was the first in his clan to move out of Tamil Nadu and travel to North India and abroad. Ram is a passionate writer and has travelled widely in the UK, Europe, the USA, the Middle-East and the far-east countries. He is a veteran engineer by profession. He has to his credit a good number of technical presentations in reputed forums. He believes that it is the responsibility of society to secure the lives of their future generations by imparting technology as well as Sanatana Dharma. He is an advocate for the privatization of the fossil fuel industry.
The author, all his life, is associated with the sea with a long stint in the offshore upstream oil and gas industry, having seen ups and downs. He keeps his brain cells active by keeping a tab on the world offshore oil and gas industry; ever willing to guide new entrants to the field. The author’s daughter, Gayathri Satish, and granddaughter, Pooja Satish, are of great encouragement to him, given the inert and hollow conditions the Covid-19 virus has created in the last two years.

This is the author’s third book. His first book, Adventures in Three Worlds, is a recollection of the events that happened in the author’s life and the lessons he learned.

This is the author’s third book. His first book, Adventures in Three Worlds, is a recollection of the events that happened in the author’s life and the lessons he learned. The second book, A Path to Discover, is like a treatise on the world’s reaction to the coronavirus, which people are still going through, one wave after another with new variants.
This book, Voyage – Offshore Pioneering to Subjective Reality & Prasanthi, starts with the early days of Mumbai High development and goes on to discuss indigenization, where the oil and gas industry is heading versus renewable, and increased risk service providers are subjected to with the industry. The author then narrates his transition from the offshore oil and gas industry to ‘Subjective Reality, Sanatana Dharma and Peace’ in sunset years.
He reminds of Adi Shankara’s teaching, ‘a duty-based life’ and not ‘a right based society’.
The author concludes by suggesting the importance of spending time each day alone in silence to create an inner connection. Silence is a form of peace in every situation of life and has a meaning. Whether it is a slow period of life, a loss of a relationship or a loss of life, the silence it brings along has a purpose. The purpose is to understand life. Most people wake up to their day purposeless just to become a part of the race. When the period of silence comes into their life, they break down very easily because they never spent that much needed time to have a realization of the true meaning of life.

This is the author’s second book. His first book, ‘Adventures in three worlds’ is a recollection of the events that happened in the author’s life and the lessons he learned.
This book is like a treatise on the world’s reaction to the coronavirus, people are still going through. Life is just like a sea, we are moving constantly. Nothing stays with us, what remains are just the memories of some people who touched us like waves. We are loved when we are born; we may be loved or hated based on how we have managed ourselves in between. War and peace are part of life. The world produces war-mongers as well as great souls like Mahatma Gandhi, Albert Einstein, Abraham Lincoln, and Nelson Mandela.
The virus brouhaha is an awakening to change. Now everyone know Wuhan!
The book briefly covers aspects of globalization, history of pandemics, biological warfare, Hindu scriptures, Covid-19 and India's lessons to the world. By applying cognizance, sobriety, intelligence and wisdom we have been creating superb technology and management systems; yet we have missed Brahminical way of living.
A Path to Discover may open a debate with views and counter-views. In one sentence, what lessons have we learned from the virus? The great Hindu Saint Tulsidas gave the answer in 16th century: In ‘dependence’ there is no happiness, even in a dream.

This book is a recollection of the events that happened in the author’s life and the lessons he learned. This memoir is an attempt to describe how his life began and nurtured. Apart from his personal life, it also covers significant instances from the upstream oil and gas industry.
His father taught him ‘honesty’ in an era where the author realized with dismay that he can be honest, but he can’t make the world honest. He is unable to erase this sickening feeling even today. One day, all of us will get separated from each other; we will miss our ‘conversations of everything and nothing’ and the dreams that we had. Days will pass by, months, years, until this ‘contact becomes rare’ or when life comes to an end. This is certain unlike birth, which is an accident. We are born without bringing anything, and our first incident is tears. We die without taking anything. Absolutely nothing! And the sad fact is that in the interval between birth and death, we fight for what we did not bring and what we will not take. What we are looking for in this interval is recognition, popularity, and self-worth.
The book covers the three worlds of the author’s life:
World 1 - Borne with shackles and the struggles his family went through.
World 2 - Sojourn with the offshore oil and gas industry.
World 3 – ‘Post-turtle’ world and renaissance of his journey through the upstream Indian oil and gas industry.
Hopefully, this memoir will remind readers that a good reputation is the ‘most valuable asset’ to a family; for this, one has to toil hard with least expectations from the outside world.
A major issue cropped up in my Condo in Singapore between families having pet dogs and those not having pet dogs. Our Condo consists of 7 Towers. It started with those not having pet dogs complaining that passenger lifts should not be used for walking the dogs; it leaves a bad odor in the lift cabin Read More...
