Udai Pareek, I call Udai Pareek a gentle soul because my experience of him inside and outside of ISABS has been that of a gentle person with no air about himself. A Jesuit friend of mine, Joe Marie Herederro, a professor of political science, introduced me to Udai and then through Udai to Indian Society of Applied Behavioural Science (ISABS). Joe Marie had a high regard for Udai and his expertise in organization development. Jose Marie introduced me to Udai Pareek as he knew him from NTL, USA days and later on as an OD practitioner and academic visiting IIMA. Joe gave me the brochure which had come by post to Behaviour Science Centre, Ahmedabad. Seeing the fees for laboratory training, I knew it would not be possible to attend. A call to Udai made it possible to attend. I boarded the train Hyderabad; my fees was weighed by ISABS. I was robbed on my return journey with just Rs. 200 in my pockets. Thus began my journey with process work and ISABS. If it was not for Udai, I do not think I would have been part of ISABS.
I was fortunate to have him and Lynton as my facilitators...
