Yet another interesting and controversial story of a popular Social Entrepreneur - Capt G R Gopinath son of a rural School Teacher. His childhood was in a remote village near Hasan in Karnataka, he studied in Kannada medium in a village school, per chance entered NDA and later served Indian Army and experienced 1971 Bangladesh Operations, then turned to Sericulture-Stock Broking-Motor Cycle Dealer-Restaurant owner-Irrigation Pipe Dealer - Heli Services provider and then offered India's first Low Cost Carrier (Cheapest Airline services). He also tried his hand at politics and elections unsuccessfully. His narration of all his life events in Simply Fly (autobiography) is very interesting and revealing. In the course of reading the book, you also come to know of our archaic rules in various government departments.
