Poor Fella ! people are supposed to do what they are supposed to do at their age.
Not what I would call a childhood.
Better than breaking stones by the roadside, though.
And I bet he makes more money than I ever did!
Does education alone make a person genius ?
does the guy do anything else
n please spare the MCSE thingy … ppl write the exam n ask em to write a program n they blink like its green and latin
but I definitely gt agree on his aptitude :) … he’d proly make a gr8 scientist
If I remember r8 the tabaloid called him “BillGates” of india or sumthing … bill gates was far from this … entrepreneurship and academics are faaaaaaaaar apart
btw if you’v observed the irony … the most earning people are more often less educated whilst the less earning are more educated ;)
I think it is the mockery of IIT.The so called Brand IIT .How could the IIT board allow 15 year old to do M.tech.
