I remember the day when I was all but 18 and my grandmother sat me down and asked me, "Son, what are your plans for the future?" To this I replied, "I love what I do; I'm a white water rafting guide, I lead treks, I go for 4x4 safaris and climb mountains." But she persisted, "All that is okay but you need to get into computers or become a CA, better still a corporate lawyer. Enough of being a boat man and a trekking guide."

This conversation in a nutshell described the entire industry in the late 1980s and early 1990s. There were a handful of mavericks like me who were convinced that this was the way to live. Work in Delhi, get a group to come with me to the mountains for a week, and hey I get to go on a holiday and even get paid for it.
