Staying Hungry and Staying Foolish in Bangalore
Posted by linus
My only regret I had when moving to India was not having enough room in my luggage to pack my Whole Earth Catalog (the book that Steve Jobs mentions at the end of his speech). I used to have this book next my contact case so that it would always be the first thing I saw clearly every morning.
Fortunately for me when I moved into my apartment, I see this every morning from my room:
The picture is a bit blurry but the sign says "Hungry and Foolish". Now I don’t believe in fate but sometimes I question if it really does exist. What are the chances that a company would call themselves this and then decide to setup shop across my window?
At any rate, the team decided to pay these guys a visit and I was extremely impressed. They are a bunch of ex-marketing folks who now do a range of designs from products to services. They don’t take themselves too seriously even though they do great work and are extremely creative.
It’s great to see that there are good designers in this city and a community in which we can call upon. I realize having lived here for a few months now that it’s critical that we don’t lose our creative spirit.
