Its not always that you get to meet a rags to riches guy in real life..and when you do..however much you try to be cool about it...the natural reaction is pure admiration.We met one such person who I will not name just because you might read a book about him very soon and I don't want to get into any copyright discussions :).
The strangest thing is that we met him halfway around the world in Mexico city when he actually is from Indore MP India..our very own hometown. However its been over 20 years since he is calling Mexico his home..He was gracious enough to spend close to a couple of hours with us at lunch and tell us his life story. It has bollywood movie written all over it..and I believe a very successful one at that. I will not tell you the story as i believe thats his prerogative but..I can tell you this...In those two hours we realised that we are sitting with a great man..
After loosing everything at a very young age he has practically rebuilt life for him and his family singlehandedly with sheer "muleheaded" drive and abilty to grab the right opportunities!! He has learnt life's lessons the hard way..maybe the hardest possible way..while working in countries where even in today's age staying alive is a quetstion of chance at best. He now owns property in four different countries across three continents...has at least three highly profitable businesses and from what he told us launching his fourth big one very soon.
Wish you all the best sir for your future and wish more people get a chance to learn from you.
