Lines that gives me booster shots of motivation when I’m down:
1. Screw It, Let’s do it.
2. I think, therefore I’m.
3. Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish.
4. If your efforts are sincere, the entire universe conspires to help you achieve your GOAL.
Inspiring Personalities:
1. Steve Jobs: For his sheer disdain to the ways technology was used & perused during his times.
2. Bill Gates: For his breadth & depth of vision: After conquering everything in business, he set himself a target of making this world a better & a healthier place.
3. Elon Musk: Perfect example of a technocrat innovator & a hard-core businessman. Look what he is doing in Tesla Motors & SpaceX. Google him & you would be astounded by his range of futuristic projects.
4. Narayan Murthy: Created much more than a company. Middle Class in India still associates pride with getting a job in Infosys. Came back from retirement to steer Infosys back to its glory days.
5. Sachin Tendulkar: Clichéd to say but still can't believe he is human. Genius combined with application turned him to a legend.

"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."
