Be a Wangdu!
- Rajesh Hanbal used to work at a reputed software firm in Bangalore. He has quit his job and is dedicated towards preparations for the Indian Administrative Service.
- Ashwin Krishna also used to work at a software firm in Bangalore. He has quit to achieve his dreams. His aim is to create a world-class university.
- Vinay Parameswarappa, another ex-software engineer conducts walk tours in Mysore and gives you an experience of true places which are not in any map.
- Rakshit plans to quit his software job and get into music production.
- Prashanth is director at an internet solution company.
- Justin is an American who is passionate about Mysore and works hard to make civic problems known.
- Sourabh, again an ex-software engineer runs a book club and is into event management.
- Suraj and Anil and I run a company into renewable energy power plants (1).
I had written about Mysore Santhe in my last post. That is where I met many of the people I mentioned now. We had many more people like GV Krishnan (2), Krishnavattam, Bapu Sathyanarayana, ER Ramachandran and Javeed Nayeem who write for the print media and Anantaramaiah who runs a school in Mysore.
I guess you liked Phunsuk Wangdu on screen. Mysore Santhe is a place to meet such Wangdus. And probably get inspired enough to become a Wangdu yourself.
- Added this line after comments from readers
- It was G V Krishnan who initiated this idea of Mysore Santhe

@Vinay: I, anil and Suraj meet each other so often, I just forgot we were special too in that place
It was an idea by G V Krishnan who is such a energetic and passionate person. You will meet him in the next meet. Also, tell as many people as possible to attend. It is as much yours as it is ours 
@Anoop: I just was fortunate enough to be part of the initiative.
