Way back while still in college..

The place was Chicago, year 1988. I had come here a year earlier after a BTech from India. Now the target before me was a MS in Computer Science. As a group of friends were discussing what each of us wanted to 'be' and to achieve, I found myself revealing my dream to be running a chai-shop...somewhere...anywhere...in the solitudes of the Indian himalayas. There would also be a library attached to the shop stocked with my favourite books. Though not a great fan of this exotic drink myself, the tea, you see, was a bait... Tea would be free for anyone who read and discussed books, else they will have to pay for it. The only catch was... I also wanted a helicopter to be able to fly into the city whenever I so desired.
