The night, when you become overnight successful, usually comes after 20 years of hard work

True Saurabh! 🙂 There is nothing like overnight success.

A complex system put into simple and elegant display.

I think this is a shade of what Entrepreneurship is all about.

Old wines in new bottles, with a little mystifying skills.

Well presented Prateek..!!!

Thanks a lot Pawan! Happy to know that you liked the presentation 🙂 And yeah, little bit of common sense is perhaps all that makes all the difference 🙂

love this..but this is true for everything one does
Prateek Shah February 5, 2013, 9:32 am

Thanks! 🙂 And yeah i think Entrepreneurship is a very true reflection of life in general, all the uncertainty, all the drama, all the roadblocks and all the smiles! So this must hold true for other things as well 🙂
