little nothings...

Though I hail from a family of entrepreneurs, joining the startup bandwagon was nothing less than defying traditions and norms. Every aunt I knew advised me against running behind companies and asked me to settle down, and I never knew what settling down meant. The only settling down I knew was that of the sand grains that settled down at the bottom of the river to become sedimentary rocks. This post is my experience and learning from the last 4 years of entrepreneurial journey and as I began jotting down points at the back of my mind, I felt any women, entrepreneur or otherwise, would be able to relate to it. Clichés like confidence, strength and yada yada are not on my list of ten things to have, because the fact that you started up is enough evidence that you are a strong and confident woman. 1. A good planner Invest in a good planner. Doesn’t matter how smart our smart phones are, I always swear by investing in a good planner. A planner will ensure that you don’t schedule

Yesterday I was frantically searching for something and While I dint find that something, I found so many other beautiful things: old letters and greetings from friends , pics of family and friends from long long ago, things like a diary from class 2 and cricket cards that my brother saved and so many other silly things which actually made me enjoy the search. The typical me would have ended up frustrated and angry for not finding that something.  Maybe the same applies to life too! While we are constantly in a quest for 'something' we neglect the smaller and more beautiful things that bring us a lot of happiness. Maybe its time to slow down and keep our eyes open for the smaller things... And finally I did find that something too, in the least expected place . My Mom bribed me saying she will pay me 2000 bucks if I don't get frustrated during the search and 4000 bucks if I don't find it in her house. See.. keeping control over one's anger always pays :P p
