Dr. Roy: Without getting too philosophical with this question but what does money mean to you. I mean as an entrepreneur, when you started, what did money mean? Was it the end it itself or is there a bigger kick than money?

Mr. Murthy: No, I think from the first day when we founded the company, when we had the discussion on what the objectives of the company should be I’m glad all of us decided unanimously that we would seek respect; respect from customers, from employees, from investors, from vendor partners, from the government of the land and the society because we said if we sought respect we would not short-change our customers, we will be fair with our employees, we will be transparent with our investors, we will be fair with our vendor partners, we will not violate any law of the land and we will live in harmony with the society. In that sense I think being a middle class person, respect means a lot more to all of us than money. But certainly, money is very very important to live a comfortable life; there is no doubt at all. But at the end of the day as I said several years ago at the Business India award function the power of money is really the power to give it away. I mean Bill Gates has demonstrated it, Warren Buffet has demonstrated it. At the end of the day I think you have so many cars, so many houses, you can have so many CD’s, I suppose.

Dr. Roy: So is one day, is Mr. Murthy going to give away most of his money?

Mr. Murthy: Well, what we will do is we have what ever money we have, we put it into corpus and what ever returns we get on an annual basis, I’d say most of it will go for philanthropy yes.

Dr. Roy: So one day most of your money will go for charity.

Mr. Murthy: I think so…yes.

"Windows 7 works the way you want to work," said Ballmer, who admitted he's a salesman at heart. "You want that computer to fire up quickly? Boom. You want it to feel responsive? Boom. You want longer battery life. Boom. We needed to make those things work -- simpler, faster, more responsive, leaner, less busy. And I think we've accomplished that with Windows 7."

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental disorder characterized by intrusive thoughts that produce anxiety, by repetitive behaviors aimed at reducing anxiety, or by combinations of such thoughts (obsessions) and behaviors (compulsions). The symptoms of this anxiety disorder range from repetitive hand-washing and extensive hoarding to preoccupation with sexual, religious, or aggressive impulses. These symptoms can be alienating and time-consuming, and often cause severe emotional and economic loss. Although the acts of those who have OCD may appear paranoid and come across to others as psychotic, OCD sufferers often recognize their thoughts and subsequent actions as irrational, and they may become further distressed by this realization.

OCD is the fourth most common mental disorder and is diagnosed nearly as often as asthma and diabetes mellitus. In the United States, one in 50 adults has OCD. The phrase "obsessive–compulsive" has become part of the English lexicon, and is often used in an informal or caricatured manner to describe someone who is meticulous, perfectionistic, absorbed in a cause, or otherwise fixated on something or someone. Although these signs are often present in OCD, a person who exhibits them does not necessarily have OCD, and may instead have obsessive–compulsive personality disorder (OCPD), an autism spectrum disorder or some other condition.
