My Business: The slum dweller who founded a food chain
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wilde
Born to slums of Chennai
Bamboo walls and floors of earth
Shanties with corrugated roves of tin
Selling steaming idlis to earn tuition
Washing the same school uniform by hand
Each night, for three years
Earning scholarships for college
Sister pawning golden wedding jewelry for my MBA
Two doors appeared
One glimmering with golden rupees
The other, shimmering in sunlight
I turned my back on high rises and fancy suits
Each man I employ feeds five
Inspire 1,000, millions will eat
