Dehradun, Aug. 17 -- This is the story of two childhood-friends-turned-couple, Amit and Shipra, who one fine day decided to quit their high-profile corporate jobs to follow their heart.

Amit used to work as an investment banker with HDFC and Shipra was an advertising professional at Outlook magazine. They both were MBAs with promising careers ahead of them. But they dared to dream and took a leap of faith.

After hearing their inspiring story, I decided to take a road journey from Dehradun to Lansdowne to meet them in person. In some ways, their story resonated with mine. They had the guts to change gear and walk out of their comfort zone, which most present-day youngsters hesitate to do.

Passion sounds great. Following your heart sound...
