[YS Lounge] The Startup Humour Capsule

Entrepreneurs never rest but amidst the mad rush, they need to find some time for themselves when they can sit bank and look at the lighter side of things. Sitting on the computer and browsing the net is not the best way to do it but if that's going to be the case, we thought of offering something different via our Lounge and Humour pieces. We've been carrying these pieces regularly over weekends and here we present a compilation of some of the best ones:1) 5 kinds of people you'd meet at a startup event

The 6 year old Calvin who often spews insights deeper than a 60 year old would, is probably one of the deepest comic strip ever written.

In this post, we look at things entrepreneurs can learn from Calvin and Hobbes.
