It was matched by my buzzing brain.
I had an idea. No, scratch that. I had a HUMDINGER of an idea. A fabulous, fantastic, brilliant [...]

A Business (And Life) Lesson

“If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings”
- Rudyard Kipling, ‘IF…‘
Imagine this:
You spend 15 years building an online business and fund raising process.

In Cricket, As Business

Like all Indian boys, I grew up “cricket crazy”.
The 1970’s was an exciting era of intense and hard-fought battles on the cricket field between the West Indies and India. Five test matches. Five days each.
Pitted against the might of cricket’s all-time great fast bowlers – Andy Roberts, Michael Holding, Joel Garner, [...]
