    Leonid Indian parents are very risk averse. First reason being they want their children to earn lots of money for the family and for them to have a structured life. What they don’t know is that things are changing and that you don’t need to be a doctor to earn lots of money. Second reason being that it’s all about status. Who’s son is better than the other one or daughter vice versa. Really really bad mindset they all have. They care more about what other people think rather than what their own children think. You get the general gist of it.

    I despise the kind of culture where parents kind of force their kids into studying X, Y or Z or they will be seen as lesser, or an outcast, because they are much happier pursuing a different career. Let people do what makes them happy.

    Respect is the First Emotion that I felt on experiencing this tough journey. I wish the "Respected Chef" Good Luck and His Resilience to "Win Stomachs" is Commendable. Should be Awarded a Padma Shri. And 15 years later be Honoured with something more Exalted: "Every Indian Enjoying a Treat at His Restaurant" Already Blessed by God and Us.

    I really enjoyed this video. He stuck to his passions, went at it alone without the support from family. It wasn't about proving anyone wrong, like he spoke about changing perspective in his food. He also changed the perspective in people. Moving to a different country combining different cultures & foods is a testament to his belief in himself, his team, their resilience & risk to change their menu, flavours to cater to the different palates, infusion & finding a good marriage of local traditional flavours & not losing the heritage or the essence of his Indian dishes. As a Vegan & someone who wants to venture into changing people's perceptions of food myself - I found this video & his message Beautiful❤

    I had tears and goosebumps watching this man. Superhero and definitely the most famous member of his family. Today his father and brother’s might introduce themselves as the family member of the only Michelin star rated restaurant’s executive Indian cuisine chef. The tables have turned. I’m from a traditional restaurant family and I’m not a restauranteur at heart. My family isn’t happy with me but someday I hope to become this man.
