My First Meetings With Billionaires I have MET!

Date: Dec 28 2002 (Incidentally My Bday :) )
As it was my Bday, i got unusual number of personal calls (of that apart from family, other major number were from girls whom i liked or flirted with or i was looking forward to do so). Probably this was my momentary peak (or it was my ILLUSION [MAYA]). Incidentally word MAYA reminds me of a very good number (both regular and remix versions) by Rahul Sharma. The number has music with lot of classical instruments and sung by Sunidhi Chauhan. One of my friends was commenting that Rahul has tried to re-create engima in indian way, anyways I would be least interested in knowing what one is trying to copy etc. You can browse the below link to listen to the album in low-quality streaming audio http://www.raaga.com/channels/hindi/movie/HP000132.html It is really worth paying US$5 for such a great album. I wonder how such albums crash in the Music Charts or Sales.
Well going back to Dec 28 2002, I had landed @ the City of Palaces (Mysooru) from Trivandrum the bottom tip of India on Road travelling for 15 hours. At City of Palaces there was a Tech Event and we were showcasing (or figuring out who will buy) our Telemedicine Product. Prior to this, had been a passionate Technopreneur focussing on some products for the Not-So-Ready Dometic Market. I was supposed to give a first report(on our first paid installation) to Mr. BVJ who happened to climb the Billionaires ladder and thanx to the pre-dot-com burst and raise in the Internet traffic which made his company products a hot favorite of the ISPs and others (which I am not aware of). Incidentally he had co-founded and co-funded (with some peanuts - I call it as Peanut Funding) this company my team was slogging for. I guess it was more of a Philanthrophic activity rather than a Business Initiative which screwed up the Stake holders happiness (especially the so-called partners and the employees :)) ). It was a moment of pride to see or talk or report to a Technopreneur who had made it BIG! So is this writing a loser's article or rather what is it i am trying to say. Well am not sure either.
This was a meeting where i found that Technopreneur turned Billionaire is NO SPECIAL what I WAS or rather what I AM. It is just the matter of believing and persistently focussing and hitting HARD on Customers for THAT BELIEF to reach the "Freeway of a LONG and FUN RIDE!" Otherwise u just struggle being a pillion in the small bullockcart on muddy roads life long just being a mute spectator of the fancies of Bullock Cart Rider, assuming u are gonna head into the FREEWAY. Bychance, even if u head on to the Freeway, am sure u wud meet with a INSTANT COLLAPSE (for Obvious Reasons). It is better being in the MUDDY ROAD if u are in the Bullock cart. Get on to Formula-1 car or prefer being in a bullock-cart. Choice is ours. We make and work towards Our Destiny!
