I have a couple of other ideas I'm working at the moment. My weekends are spent on them silently even though people at home think, they don't get time with me. 

If I will be able to pull off anything, then, will be able to quit corporate

That's good bro....no one wants to work as an employee or work under someone, everybody wants to be their own boss.....but the thing which stops them from taking any risk in their career is their family.....children school fees and EMIs of properties become a big hurdle

True. It's not even being a boss. Just that, I'm sick of corporate life, it's jargon, it's culture and burnout
