Stay Hungry Stay Foolish
Recently I started reading this book and I can't stop myself from blogging about it. This book has the stories of 25 entrepreneurs from IIMA who chose the tough road and chased their dreams. It is a must read for all those people who want to do something useful in life.
Personally I am not against working in big companies. I feel you should do whatever you do you must love it. As far as job is concerned you can not get 100% satisfaction, this is what I feel. Either your profile is not suitable or the people are not good around you or you might not be happy with the money you are earning. This book has stories of people who left their big jobs because they wanted to do something more in life which is beyond earning fat salaries.
You join a company as a fresher, you work for some years, you get promoted to senior position. You continue this path and one day you become senior manager and end up earning lot of money. Personally I don't think there is any excitement in this kind of career path. End of the day you are just working for someone else, it is not your dream.
I highly recommend this book to all the students and professionals. This book is full of motivational stories and small instances that you can relate to. Rashmi Bansal, the Author of the book has done a great job compiling these well written stories in simple language. I am looking forward to more such books in the future.

I loved this book. Must say Rashmi did a wonderful job collecting the stories of those people. Though some stories were cut-short but still each one has some message.
Must read for everyone, this book is not only about entrepreneurship its more about doing what you love and chasing your dreams.
I was looking for this book, Cash The Crash but was unable to find it at the local bookstore so had to visit Crossword. That was a bit of trouble, but I must add it was surely worth it. Superb one! How did you find it Ravi? Can we have a review?
Do check out Rashmi's book also Priya, you will enjoy it.

No I havent read that book. I searched on the net and reviews are good. I think I will pick it up from CP today. Thanks for letting me know about this book!
Haven't read this book yet Ravi, but after reading your review think I'll pick it up. I have been hearing a lot of discussions about Happionaire's Cash The Crash that has been suggested by people like Rakesh Jhunjunwala and AM Naik of L&T. Have you read it still? It is another book on my 'pick up' list.
