now that is what i call realizing a dream

From America and Canada to India with a dream from hindu

" It is a story seemingly out of Bollywood. A group of non-resident Indians from America and Canada left their homes, careers and children to return to India with a dream to give back "a fraction" of what their country had given them. And what emerged out of this "dream" was a magical transformation of a decrepit, forgotten 150-year-old Jahangirabad Fort in Barabanki district of Uttar Pradesh into a world-class institute offering postgraduate courses in media and mass communication, bio-informatics, bio-technology, para-medicine, medicine and engineering.
The Jahangirabad Media Institute, now ready to admit its first batch of students from this coming October, has been conceived and built as a minority institute where 50 per cent of the seats in each discipline would be reserved for minorities and underprivileged sections of society. "


maybe one day some more of us can do that...

Editor Outsources Everyday Life to India abc news

"For one month, a team in Bangalore, India, paid Jacobs' bills, bought gifts for his family and even called his parents for their weekly chat.
When Jacobs got into a fight with his wife, Julie, he outsourced his complaint to his assistant, Asha.
Asha wrote in an e-mail to Julie: "Julie, do understand your anger that I forgot to pick up the cash at the ATM. I have been forgetful and I am sorry about that, but it does not change the fact that I love you very much."
Asha also sent Julie a card with hugging teddy bears.
"I thought it was totally pathetic," Julie Jacobs said. "AJ, who does not like confrontation whatsoever, was now using a woman 4,000 miles away to handle my confrontation skills.""
