Book excerpt: I grew up following the popular life code ‘Study. Get a job. Earn lots of money’. I was so convinced by this that I strived to by-heart books and even became a bookworm. Of late, a realization came to me — the code of settlement was a cliché. Through this book, I take you through the real lives of select young engineers. Engineers who entered their ‘Sphere of Interest’. Engineers who have stepped aboard to chase their dreams. But, what haunts an engineer the most in his pursuit of passion, are these questions: How do I convince my parents? What if I fail? Will I make enough money? What will society say? The protagonists of this book survived these questions. I set out to meet engineers and found myself abundantly amused. Over a year’s time, I interacted with the one who became a farmer, another became a cricketer, and so on. “I proudly label them all ‘CREATIVE-PRENEURS”.
