@innoz,We are a couple of nobody's trying to build something from nothing and the odds are we will fail. However, in order to even have a chance at succeeding, we need to have everything staked on this. I gave up my social life today and I did it because I had to.
I did a lot of great things (had a beautiful girlfriend,lots of fun) so I'll never regret it, but I'm a shell of the personality I used to be. Basically, I had been languishing in college and had gotten comfortable with mediocrity.
I have a lot of back papers @ college,and was having a real fuda with the exams all over.
Maybe only those who had completed the sylabus in kerala for a b.tech graduation will understand this, but when you are a college guy in your mid 20's you live apart from society within a closed loop of friends,fun & fun.
Everybody's life moves forward but you are in this open-ended thing that keeps you poor and without natural social contacts.
Last summer I started counting the number of times I would interact with her on a daily basis and it was usually more than three hours - counting the calls and the time i used to visit her at her town. Needless to say, dropping out of this is something I had been thinking about for a while.
The reason I chose today to drop out was because of the vision I had with innoz. innoz's chances of getting big is too high & Once I realized that we might not be growing that pace if I kept delaying the inevitable, I started to think more about what I wanted to happen with Innoz.
Then the calculation became simple - if I want Innoz to succeed I have to dedicate absolutely everything to it. I realized that monday and quit friday(long weekend).
The last thing i told her was to wait,give patience until i will achieve something & bring something good for both of us.
I have no money, no job, no health insurance, and no idea if we are actually going to succeed but at least I'm fully committed to something I care about.
Wish me,pray me or laugh at me.

We get inspired from many.., but when it from someone among us.. really get passionate.. Great GO..!
I really appreciate your dedication...
Indeed I too have felt it many times, If you plan on doing something BIG... there is no way you can play safe or try to balance.. That's the sacrifice for being able to work on your dreams... :)
All the best on you goal..
One giant leap, worth a lifetime!
