I enjoyed reading that. Thanks.

This might be a separate OT discussion - You need passion to become
entrepreneur and where's the passion? I might be generalizing too much, but
where's the passion? Very few people in my extended circle of friends, both
personal and work are passionate about anything. I am talking about true
joys of trying a new programming language, getting results out of a new
API, Listening to your fav singer live, clicking that perfect photograph,
enjoy the overwhelming sight of the milky way from a dark location...
Forget entrepreneurship, most wealthy and educated Indians need to learn
how to live - employed or self employed!
