Top trending, most digged, most viewed, most shared.. Everything is a list and they do wonders. Most of us spend time trying to reach top of some list and few of us trying to create a new list.<br
/> I am currently impressed with a brand new team of young teenagers who created a list.   <span
id="more-902"></span>A unique list of people pursuing their passion. They called it “In Pursuit of Passion”. Karuna Gopal, founder of Futuristic cities http://www.futurecities.org said that the kids of this organization scare her, for their maturity and their deceiving young looks.</p><p>We are all talking about <a
href="http://www.passionatefoundation.org/" target="_blank">Passionate Foundation</a> , a city based NGO. It is a platform for the young to raise his/ her voice. The volunteers at the NGO compiled a book. A list of 50 people living in Hyderabad and pursuing their passion. For all the noise that exists around pursing a passion and being different, why not make a list of those people. Many famous and not so famous people (by that I mean <a
href="http://twitter.com/calyen" target="_blank">me</a>!) made it to their list.</p><p>What they got right : They managed to create amazing event. The caliber of a few people on the list is such that the event could not be ignored by the media. Check the coverage <a
href="http://thehindu.com/2010/06/17/stories/2010061761040200.htm" target="_blank">here</a></p><p>What I thought : If you are releasing a book about people who have worked through odds and raised up, it would be apt to have those people share their story. For instance, I met a young girl at the event, who is the youngest author based out of hyderabad. Her story would have been inspiring and would have made an awesome conversation piece.</p><p>I am incredibly glad to be on the list. But for me it’s 84ideas that actually went up there. Everybody at 84ideas made on to that list. Our common passion for internet is what makes us 84ideas.</p><p><object
