Taking the leap

Hi!

This blog is from a regular guy who has set out on the path of entrepreneurship.

Well, basically.

This blog is an effort to share my journey, as it happens, with people. With my friends and well-wishers, who're interested in my whereabouts, and with the rest of the world (in case hopefully if I make it good, to help future entrepreneurs realize their potential). Here I go.

The regular life I think of a guy who comes from a middle class family (when father holds a govt. job) goes somewhat like this:

1. Get good marks in school, and get admission to a good engineering (or other vocational) college
2. Complete your engineering and find a job
3. Live as a bachelor, have fun for 3~4 years (or imagine you're having fun, anyway) while working hard for your employer. Basically trying to postpone marriage all the time.
4. Get married.
5. Spend another 2 years, trying to postpone having children.
6. Have a kid.
7. Get a home loan and buy a home.
8. Live happily ever after. Or rather, live pseudo-happily ever after. And keep doing everything you should be doing.

And all through, have an underlying desire of doing what you really want to do.

Well, so that's basically my intro. I've jumped out of the sequence above after number 6. And into "what I really want to do". Which happens to be working towards having my own product company.

Today, as it stands, I'm spending the last of my days as a full-time employee with VNL. And it's been a great experience working here. 22nd July 2011 is when I finally go on-my-own :)

I consider myself lucky in that I got all the support from my family to take the jump. And of-course from TT, my partner in this journey!

See you around!
