Rashmi bansal was in ahmedabad for the book launch & promotions. Last we met around 1 year back during the book launch of "Connect the Dots". I reached a little late to cross word . The event had started. I clicked some pics enjoyed the speech by her , nandini of Blind people's association.

Jatin Kataria a friend from Rajkot who is President of Challenge Future ( India Chapter ), had left for Ahmedabad just to meet Rashmi bansal and hand over a letter of thanks. But the event got finished little earlier than mentioned time on FB. I told Rashmi abt this , she said she can wait for few minutes if comes then will surely meet. But it seemed that he would take more time. I asked her if I can bring him the next morning as I & Rashmi were meeting the next day.

We fixed the time and met at TGB , nr Vastrapur lake. We set there & had coffee and discussions about entrepreneurship, his upcoming book, various events and all. We had a good time. Jatin's trip also paid off.

Rashmi banshal is an IIM graduate, Entrepreneur, Youth expert and author of best selling books 'Stay hungry Stay foolish' and 'Connect the dots'. Her latest book about Social entrepreneurship ‘I Have a Dream’ is currently the # 1 non-fiction book in India, as per A C Nielsen bookscan (retail audit).

When i opened the book "I have a dream" , With a pleasant surprise I found my name on acknowledgement page as I had setup the official website for the book. It feels great to see you name in such book. Isn't it ?
