I'm mighty happy with it. Much better than the National Goegraphic apps etc

:-) There is so many 'english' versions spoken and written in India, those who are not exposed to our country will be baffled. The big big move is 'Hinglish' - Hindi meets English. And yes, I do admit a lack of consistency or rather attention to the capitalization of words.

It was.. The challenge was then lugging a laptop always online and reading it. Now the app makes it offline and easily readable on the move.

The cleanest way to achieve 'dream like' attentive state of the mind is by deep meditation.

Bhavin, I am not a Novelty Writer. I am an entrepreneur attempting to share my experiences. There is no 'sales' pitch in the numbering of the blog

Well, I have raised venture capital 7 times for 4 start up's. 2 of these companies were acquired - by the Walt Disney Company and Norwest Venture Capital. My learnings in all of these are that the moment Value seems to start building, your colleagues, your partners, the industry gets a whiff and VC's start calling.

In none of my 7 raises did I have to do door to door selling.

When I did, I never raised money!

Noted with thanks and edited.
I dont think you have ever been to India. My driver has been with me for 10 years and his job has allowed him to fund his daughter to attend high school (in her village) - something that is unheard of in rural India. Also my driver sends a nice stipend to his family every month. India has 1 billion people - if they all became drivers, we would be 10 times richer than any nation in the world.
Never did - never will. Incidentally, after such scam offers cam our way, China Mobile and China Unicom cracked down hard on 'sms spammers'. Folks whose services were suspended (for days to months)included some of the biggest portals in the PRC.
