Rags to riches

http://in.rediff.com/money/2006/apr/27spec.htm

The future of India lies in the hands of young entrepreners like Subramani Ramachandrappa. His family rose from a humble start to a mound, then fell again in the mud, only to rise again as a mountain.

I doubt, if Subramani would have ventured into this entreprenership, but for his debts. He would have been contented, had the debts weren't there. The debts were a source of driving force. The debts were a blessing in disguise to bring out the best in him. He could have chosen to fled from the society, lead a peaceful life again with a humble start. But, he chose to fight back, taken the debts on his shoulders and be a responsible son as well as a guardian to his family.

Necessity is the mother of invention. And he has proven it. Let him be a source of inspiration to others. As he says, "Learn from failure".
