You think of a dream you will get one. But have you ever imagined that you could be a part of someones dream. I never thought otherwise, I believed in survival for the fittest, you work your way up to riches. But a dream by Ankur Gupta has changed my perspective.

Ankur Shankar Gupta has one such dream. Ankur is an engineer from Delhi School of Economics, Delhi University. Getting into this college is the toughest after IIT’s in India. It is no doubt that he is intelligent and smart when it comes to aptitude and engineering. After his engineering he worked for two years as an Analyst in e-valuserve and then got an admission to London School of Economics for the year 2007. But he had to defer it till 2008. The reason, he doesnt have the required funds. The total fee including tution, boarding and lodging is around 55,000 pounds or nearly $100,000.

He has some savings from his job, and he will apply for a scholarship or assistantship. He can also go for a loan but for such an enormous amount he does not have a collateral. This is the plight of a brilliant student with no money. But i feel he will find some sponsor to fulfill his dream.

He has set his goal. He has to get into LSE. He is set out to get that amount of money through the internet. He has set up a blog called http://milliondollarstory.blogspot.com and he is counting on the adsense traffic. His blog is not about personal finance or how to save money or about being frugal.He is writing short stories on his blog daily for the next 180 days.

His blog has generated $103 as of now. I wish him lick to for his goal. I will also be following his journey towards $100,000.If I like his story then I would be referring it through my blog and try to get some financial sense out of it. I feel that it would be a good, idea hunting ground for my future posts.

Till now I have not clicked on any of his ads and also not donated him. I am curious as to how such a huge sum can be generated from 180 odd stories.

If I think from my perspective then if I had money to the tune of 100,000 (hard cash and not networth) then I would have invested in certain securities and would have got retire by now. I don’t think I would have invested such a sum for further studies. What’s your take on it?
