Outlook recently featured a story on Steel-baron, Mr. LN Mittal and as I discussed it with my dad, we just talked about how many of these are there in this world ? How many people have actually become trillionnaires from scratch - no land, no money, just a motivation to see “big”. Correct me if I am wrong, but most of the chiefs of India’s top 10 businesses are not self-made. They either had lots of land-realty to fall back upon or utilize OR they just took over from their family.

And then Dad, narrated to me his own struggle. Its good to keep yourselves reminded of your own hardships. Keeps you focussed and your attitude, in balance. I have come a long way, started from trading Software CDs (buying from nehru place and reselling them to concerned parents in Faridabad), to selling webspace and Linux servers, and made a huge shift in the supplements business. Today, I enjoy what I do and fortunate to have tasted my little success online, selling supplements, and books. Dad has been with me throughout. Could never have inched forward without him.
