Kushal bhaiya(hindi for elder brother. Full name-Kushal Shah ) and I were doing our usual baseless bakwaas (hinglish for baseless chat). there’s something with this guy(Kushal bhaiya), you just sit with him for 30 minutes and you just cant avoid being a your creative best. Ask anyone of the stupid-seven( students who went to “study” at bhaiya’s Asha Institute of Excellence batch2005-2007 11th-12th). 
I was buying the domain for his school website(http://www.sanvid.com).
We both have this strange overwhelming feeling of promoting knowledge and we started planning a site for it.
I guess all of you must be aware of the situation India is facing in terms of good teachers (I don’t mean knowledgeable). We have too many students getting into colleges for our present teaching strength to handle. You might think that its the case with just lower level colleges. If you think so, ask an IITian. The problem is same everywhere… There is a huge reason behind this mess but I will get to that later.
We started talking on the basic aims of the website…

We had to go down from education for all to education for just btech electrical n possibly rest of btech coz of limited resources(we need a community of like minds for other courses)
Finally it was decided that we start a knowledge chain reaction kinda thing. We provide list of good books in each subject, references to good video courses, create discussion groups of max 4 ppl to avoid clutter. Create basic rules for a discussion group and try to find supportive teachers to help the doubts that arise from discussions…
A semi-public wiki is another option to create a good course material but I think we shall have that feature later on…
We had to drop SanviD as that was being maintained by a panel of investors and they may not approve of the idea.
We had to get a new name now (grrr)Luckily, I was on call with pooh(Poonam Prusty) and she got in the name searching as well. She suggested the name Enjoy Studies, bhaiya agreed and I got the domain

We started working on the actual specifications of the site.
Whiteboard came up as a great tool for discussions. (We need an actionscript and flash developer help for this)
Basic site layout was discussed that day

We started finding out our pics that would suit the site. hehe it seemed funny yet important to be on the front page of our dream.
Felt like we are going to rock the world. hehe, I wasnt high guys, was just a bit senti…
Colors and gradients were added to the layout, we were making good progress yay!!
“Does this look good?”, “Should I put this image here?”,”Where should the rounded corners go?”
Questions flew and were answered . Design was edited and re-edited and it finally reached our first beta stage…
I added the name and e-mail basic survey for the site and we were up.
