You’ve got to fill your own cup before you can fill someone else’s. That’s long been the guiding principle for Chirag Trivedi of New Milford, who gave the motto a literal meaning when he opened TimeOut cafe on River Edge Avenue last year. TimeOut is a place to do just that, said Trivedi, who leads by example. Trivedi moved to the U.S. after high school from Bombay, India, to study computer science at North Carolina State University. He worked at Baskin Robbins to fund his education but quickly ballooned up from 180 to 235 pounds with all the ice cream he was eating. He knew if he wanted…
