While growing up in India, I was passionate about solving problems; used to solve the mathematical problems in the news papers, repairedĀ air-coolers (used during Summers in India), fixed ceiling fans (kinda miss that in Germany), tried my hand on my dad’s scooter, disassembled stereo players & juicers and majority of the times put them back together to work.
Back in 1992, one rainy day, I fell off from my dad’s scooter and skin from my hands & legs were peeled off by the road – it was no fun under the rain. Then I was wondering why could’nt the scooters n bikes be covered to improve safety and avoid getting wet.
In the following years, I have had several ideas to solve problems common people are facing every day, be it lunch-box for Indian students in Western countries or a tuk-tuk calling service to help elderly Indians get their rides to their door step (in 2010 registered a domain Autobulao which means call a tuk-tuk) but was never courageous as I used to be as a kid to get out there and just do it.
I am sure there are several reasons for such a transition. Whatever those reasons are, now I am taking some to time to reflect and trying to bring back my instincts to just go for it. Maybe I can take some inspiration from my little daughter.
As I am breaking my shackles and writing my first blog, I dedicate this post to my daughter and my wifey!!
Deepak this is just not a story ; it is a piece of inspiration for hundreds such Deepak who have never vented out their ideas
Its the beginning….
