Links etc.

I just realized I haven't shared the URL of our company:

As of date, its about educating students in Embedded Electronics. TT has been working for this for last one year. Let's see how it goes!

Today was mostly about looking at the magnitude of the task. Briefly, its not small. But definitely its not daunting; this is one thing I knew will be there to welcome me :)

As they say:
See-saw sacradown
which is the way to london town
one foot up and the other foot down
that is the way to london town :)

"one foot up and the other foot down". An easy enough job!

AT Jodhpur!

Reached here this Saturday. And dude, what a refreshing change after spending six years at Gurgaon! Neat roads, no traffic, no pollution, courteous people, and all that should be there.

Then it was a marathon run of finding a home for rent. Property prices have really risen throughout India! We have _almost_ finalized a 1 BHK home for 5K.

Also, started working like an owner for the first time, we (me and TT) set the first round of targets of next three months.

I don't know how rich I'm going to be two years from now. But I know very precisely how smart I'm going to be :) Here starts my learning!!!


Cheerio!

Edit (9 aug 2011): We finally got a house for 6K. The other one didn't work out. And people are crazy here when it comes to renting out houses. In case you need a house in Jodhpur, contact me for live experience stories!

Packing up from Delhi!

Did a marathon round of electronics components' shopping at Delhi's Lajpat Rai Market... the luggage moves for Jodhpur tomorrow, and we shall follow this weekend!

Taking the leap

Hi!

This blog is from a regular guy who has set out on the path of entrepreneurship.

Well, basically.

This blog is an effort to share my journey, as it happens, with people. With my friends and well-wishers, who're interested in my whereabouts, and with the rest of the world (in case hopefully if I make it good, to help future entrepreneurs realize their potential). Here I go.

The regular life I think of a guy who comes from a middle class family (when father holds a govt. job) goes somewhat like this:

1. Get good marks in school, and get admission to a good engineering (or other vocational) college
2. Complete your engineering and find a job
3. Live as a bachelor, have fun for 3~4 years (or imagine you're having fun, anyway) while working hard for your employer. Basically trying to postpone marriage all the time.
4. Get married.
5. Spend another 2 years, trying to postpone having children.
6. Have a kid.
7. Get a home loan and buy a home.
8. Live happily ever after. Or rather, live pseudo-happily ever after. And keep doing everything you should be doing.

And all through, have an underlying desire of doing what you really want to do.

Well, so that's basically my intro. I've jumped out of the sequence above after number 6. And into "what I really want to do". Which happens to be working towards having my own product company.

Today, as it stands, I'm spending the last of my days as a full-time employee with VNL. And it's been a great experience working here. 22nd July 2011 is when I finally go on-my-own :)

I consider myself lucky in that I got all the support from my family to take the jump. And of-course from TT, my partner in this journey!

See you around!
