+# Build A Non-Rails centric app
+
+## The Elevator Pitch
+
+Should Rails be the centre of your app? Do you spend more time worrying
+about the framework than your business? if yes, then this is the talk
+for you. If no, it'll be nice to know and interact with people on the
+other side of the coin.
+
+
+## Talk Description
+
+I just want to clarify that I love rails and this is not a talk to
+defame rails. 
+
+
+I have been working on my start-up idea for about 8-10 months now,
+mostly part-time. I wrote it with Rails at the centre and wasn't happy 
+about the some of the code-base and the whole testing times. I wouldn't 
+call myself a TDD fascist but I do like to approach a probelm from TDD 
+perspective and it gets annoying if anything gets in the way. The use of 
+Spork or Spin just for faster tests felt wrong.
+
+I was eager to improve it and make it better and just didn't know how.
+Then one then one fine morning, I decided to give it a major refactor, or like
+some say rewrite. This talk will take you through my journey through
+this unknown terrain. My intention is to share my thoughts before I
+embarked on this project, what influenced and motivated me, my findings
+and revelations and lastly, is this a viable thing to do?
+
