I enjoyed reading that. Thanks. I read another interesting article but I forgot where from: It said the Indian school education system is `perfect`, but for what it was designed for. What was it designed for? To create perfect clerks for the British raj. Time to wake up! 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!
