Companies That Started in a Garage

If you think you need a corporate office to get your business started, think again. Find out how these multimillion or billion-dollar companies launched in the unlikeliest of places. However massive they may seem now, at one time, some of the largest and most successful companies around started in someone's garage. Sometimes the garage was at the childhood home of the company's founders. Other times, the entrepreneurs had to rent a garage just to get a little privacy for their ideas to grow. 

The humble beginnings of these said companies prove that great ideas are still great ideas, no matter where they're started and developed.The lesson here is that the most amazing ideas have no boundaries. From small, rented garages to multimillion or billion-dollar companies, anyone who's passionate about an idea can start—and grow—that idea anywhere, as long as they have a little privacy and room to shut out the rest of the world.

Masala Dosa

MTR Vegetarian Restaurant nestles in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur serves marvelous authentic Bangalore India food such as Masala Dosa or commonly known here as Masala Tosei. It goes with lentil bean as the inner gravy and olive oil poured on the dosa. My favourite drink is its special filter Arabica coffee bean with fresh goat milk. A clean and fast serving food restaurant, MTR has been here since 1924. Must try cause I enjoyed every minute of it! Friday 18/2/2022.

Malaysia Petronas The oil price has incessantly dropped as demand for it has all but dried up as the lock downs across the world have kept the people inside. There is an abundance of oil in circulation but travelling is limited, how irony. It will take a recovery in demand to really turn the market round and that will depend on how the health crisis unfolds. Further, pessimism about the prospects of oil companies and oil prices continues to rise. ⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸

Abstinence

As Ramadan shifts approximately 11 days earlier each year on the solar-based Gregorian calendar, Muslims experience Ramadan in different seasons throughout the course of the lives.
