Experience of Startup

Everyone wants to own a business or a small firm or something which is their own in professional environment.
Same thing I dreamt and started a venture with few of my friends; sadly that was unsuccessful. Here are the things I learnt and want to share:
1) Every business needs 180 days incubation period. So plan your savings accordingly. You cannot expect to earn anything from your business till that time. You have to use your own money.
2) Always have a backup plan for second earning.
3) Choose people whom you can trust and enjoy working with.
4) Choose a business domain in which you are expert so that you can give your output to the company.
5) Make your family understand what you are doing before you start else they will always be nagging from behind making it difficult for you to concentrate on your work.
6) Have faith in your team and work hard.
7) Be smart and keep looking for fresh opportunities in your business domain to expand and grab available opportunities.

I left the company because of 1st and 4th point. I was not financially prepared to survive 3 years without any earnings. But my partners were prepared and good thing is they are still running the company.
Now the company has grown multifold, when we started we were only 6 people in office and within 4 years the team has grown to 50. I am very happy with the progress. Sadly I could not be the part of it due to my personal issues. For the people who are wondering which company I was here is the link www.bioteknika.co.in.

So for everyone who want to venture in startup, above was my advice. Hope it helps.

FEELINGS

The things I Love,
The ways I Like,
Is anybody there? Who puts on light...

The thoughts I think,
The life I lead,
Is anybody there? Who is ready to sink...

The world I Dream,
The future I Wish,
Is anybody there? Who says, I'm Missed...

The care I Love,
The love I need,
Is anybody there? To care for Me !

Alas, I only heard was
'The Echo of my Own Voice'..........

Circumstances

I specifically remember this one...
i was travelling on my way from surat station to the bus stand where i cud get bus for essar... i could have taken an personal auto but as u knw the middle class money saving thing... i took a shared one... and with three people in the back seat of auto there was not mch place in the auto but the shared once always has some space :) and they fill it up upto 5 so i was expecting more. On the way a paralyzed man stopped the auto, he had no legs and was crawling and the auto driver stopped at him. but as soon as he was about to get into the auto, the driver said 'Nahi bhai aaj nahi betho tum jagah nahi hai' the paralyzed guy said 'main paise de dunga na' the driver said 'nahi mujhe nahi chahiye aaj jagah nahi hai' the paralyzed guy said ' yar main andhe ghante se auto ka wait kar raha hun dhup main plz le chal mujhe' and the driver said 'bhaiya aaj nahi hoga' n just drove off. The people sitting behind including me were upset due to the behavior of the driver, he could have helped the poor guy and all those thoughts were going inside my head. And by my surprise the auto driver said... "Aap sahab log soch rahe honge k sala kitna kamina driver hai aise insaan ki madad nahi karta, par sahab main aapko ek bat kehta hun, main us admi ko roz bithata hun n kabhi paise bhi nahi leta" then i said "toh aaj bhi bitha lete paise toh woh de raha tha na tum hi jyada natak kar rahe the" driver smiled and said "dekha na sahab maine kaha na aap sab mujhe gali de rahe hoge man main, aapko pata hai aaj maine use kyu nahi bithaya, nahi na fir bhi aap ne mujhe bura bhala kaha, koi nai main batata hun, ye meri auto nahi hai n main bhi kiraye pe chalata hun, aaj subah 3 ghante se station pe khada hun lekin boni nahi hui, aap logo ki pehli boni thi and agar main use bithata toh woh do logo ki jagah le leta n mere liye woh nuksan hota. sahab main bhi roz k paise kamake apne parivar ka pet bharta hun, agar main use roz bithaunga toh mera beta bhuka rahega n main ye nahi dekh sakta. Main har kisi k sath acha nahi reh sakta. Mere halat mujhe nahi rehne dete. Ab aap jo bhi mere bare main soche us se mujhe koi farak nahi padega lekin mere biwi bache bukhe rahe toh mujhe farak padega. Shayad aap k liye ek rupaya kuch nahi bt mere liye ek ek rupya kimti hai.." saying this he smiled and dropped me to my location i paid him and he left.
After he was gone i kept on thinking are the people bad or the conditions??
i dont knw but this thing kept on my mind very strongly no matter how good u do one bad thing ruins it all but is the thing really bad...
we think something as good but the other person may think it as bad so is it all about prespective
at some conditions we are very good but under some circumstances we may b bad for others so whom should v blame ourselves or the circumstances...
well the poor guy just drove a auto but made a mark on my mind...
"Is the person bad or the Circumstances??" - the question remains....

Happiness

What is happniess...

i always keep thinking about this
what makes people happy and content with things
i never had an answer but though i learned a lot in the process of finding it
i fell in love i broke my heart and sat there with sad emotions never wanting to leave that place.
then someone came along told me this is not right
took me with her and showed me how to be happy
but after some time she also left
left to live her own life
and again i felt the same emotions of sadness and left alone
i was about to be stagnant at that place again but then again a person came
she told me the same thing and took me with her
then i thought that might be she is the right person with whom i can be HAPPY
and live a life of my dreams a life which i wanted to share and live
but then i find that she had a relation which was much stronger than what i can ever think of
now that made me sad again

after all this i thought for a while which i should do a long time back
ya but i was too much taken the emotion of sadness so never was able to give a thought
but finally i did
i thought what is happiness all about
is it expecting from others what we want
is it that all should happen according to our wishes
but in life it never had to happen that way

happiness is a choice
we choose to be happy
a beggar can also be happy in his heart
i chose to be sad thats why i was sad and down all the time
but now i have understood and i choose to be happy now
whatever the conditions are they are there to stay
i cant change them by being sad
i can face them by being happy and change them by being strong
this is life is all about
u have to choose to live
u have to choose to fight

hope that someone gets inspired by my blog
and chose to live and fight instead of being sad...

enjoy
