Alternate profession

While I was working in a corporate job I found everything elusive and I and a friend of mine used to compare it with farming a ground and how the later is so fulfilling job. What do you need end of the day. Grow your own food. What better than that? Like run your own company. You may joke about it. Even think about it. But to do it is whole lot different. There are 2 persons I read about that made me go back to this thought (far from action).

First one was a few days ago. A white collar employee from Delhi turns to turmeric farming. Catch it here.

Second and more amazing. It is about about this postgraduate rickshaw wala It takes a lot of guts to come face to face with the urban survival challenge by choice. Obviously it didn't go down well with the family and asa they heard about it they wanted him back in house. The motive was interesting. How many of us can do that?

I guess the whole thing is about pulling it through the whole time before your idea reaps the success you have dreamt off. Every idea can become success if you have the perseverance to go through tough times. Little or more time but you have to cross it and that needs courage which is different for each of us.
:)
Hope you make your right choice in future.
