A Crazy Idea
Published by Amruth on Tuesday, January 30, 2007 at 10:00 AMIt all started with a simple suggestion by Nakul - "Keep it simple !". The ever-cogitating me found it so beautiful that I decided to blog on it as "The Jnacool Philosophy". I went further and wanted to start "The Jnacool School" online and that was when Nakul said, "Hey dude ! Lets start up with this idea... I see a huge bank of potential customers !"
We met immediately outside VK ( for non-BITSians, it's a hostel in BITS) and started brainstorming about the idea. I had a problem, "Oye, it's not going to work. How will you make people believe in what we say? It might work well, but how will they trust it in the first place to try it out?". Jnacool: "Yea. We need someone who can pitch it for us giving reasons for why it will work... know anybody?". And that's how Sindhu came in.
How long did it all last...? just an hour - before we decided that we need a completely different solution to the problem we had identified... Half an hour more and we were heading somewhere...
It was exciting because it was something we could relate so strongly to ourselves and mysterious because we were clueless how it would all turn out... we decided to give it a try... and so it began, as a crazy idea.
