Spark of Brilliance.

I interrupt your day for this urgent news bulletin. As dramatic as it sounds, my life has changed forever.

Every now and then, an idea strikes you. A brilliant one, at that. One that causes sleepless nights, and consumes the energy of all your waking hours. You mull over it, polish and refine it, until it turns out, it just isn't any idea, it can really work.


My best friend and I have such an idea. And we are working inspired towards its fruition.
10th May: The day we were struck by aforementioned idea.
12th May: The day we realized it could work. 

You know, I was watching Into The Wild again today, and realised something. Everyone feels they want to get away from something in their life, not many know where they want to get to. I have that figured out. I want to get away from the college crowd, that has made me lower my expectations from people my age in general. I want to get away from the mindless pursuit of an MBA. I want to get away from the corporate slavery and kiss-assing expected of me in the future.
I want to be the one in control and in charge of decisions in my personal and professional life. Personal life is sorted already, this idea makes the latter seem possible as well.


We're going to make it happen. No matter what.
This summer is going to be the most exciting, strenuous, painstaking, sweaty and productive one of our lives. I CANNOT WAIT for things to get started.


P.S. Two things can happen once I click 'Publish Post':
1. If it works: 10 years later, I will look back on this and say, "How cool was it that we have this on record".
2. If it doesn't: 10 years later, I will look back and say the same, and go back to being a corporate slave.
