Harish Palaniappan's

Was reading through my old stored collection of important mails and got to this.. How did I forget to put it on my blog before.

Location: Tata Museum, Jamshedpur.

Its an interesting painting.

It reveals itself when you keep a steel cylindrical rod on the board.

The steel part symbolically represents JRD Tata's referrence in business circles as a steel man

JRD Tata was the chairman of TataSteel (and TataGroup later until current chairman Ratan Tata took over), and was very successful with bringing up the steel empire of the Tata's in Jamshedpur.

Tata's had set up the steel plant in Jamshedpur well before India even had independence and had almost adopted the town.. It is even today often referred to as 'Tata nagar', which is highly regarded as the other name for Jamshedpur (You can send a snail mail marking TataNagar in place of Jamshedpur and it will reach there).

The ironically real story is:
The painting was a gift to JRD Tata on his Birthday by a street artist. Nobody was able to understand his art. Unfortunately, only the painting was given to JRD and the artist had promised to reveal the secret later (almost an year). And by the time the artist revealed about the steel rod, JRD Tata passed away.
