Not there yet, still lot more to learn :)

Opportunity to start your Career again

I will learn more, analyze more and then go to implementation.

The Most Important Game

When you are a part of startup, you tend to innovate. And when you do that, you tend to be whacky. There are many instances when I spent days together in the office. I was often associated as the guy with the toothbrush in the office. But perhaps the wackiest thing, work all nights long on redbulls.

Effective decision
