NRN claims that he never wanted to write a book because books contain intentions of author where as he is always interested in the results generated by the intentions. In other words, he is a doer. However he finally penned the book at the instance of his son. The book contains interesting anecdotes and insights into one of the most successful entrepreneurial minds of our times.

At that time he came across three books that he says shaped his personality and inspired him to take the path of entrepreneurship. The books and the le

Texpressions are human expressions enabled by underlying traditional language and wrapped in technology or tools. Blog is an example for Texpression
