Lose everything you have before becoming an entrepreneur!
When you have nothing to lose, when you are already in a deep shit and cant go further, the only thing which can happen to you is raise back from deep shit!
Blogger by accident!
Back in 2006, I wanted to learn how to make web pages. I came across many websites like Geocities, Lycos tripod & created my own personal pages. Having a web page of your own back then was a wow factor among colleagues! Then came the Orkut and “you didn’t replied to my scrap” days! I was exploring communities on Orkut of my interest (though they were only for the sake of showing on sidebar most of the times!). I found a community called “Bangalore Astronomical Society” and Pavan K Murthy was the owner of it. Since we had similar interests I added him as friend & I found his blog “Grahana”. I didn’t know such thing as blogging existed back then. So I asked him over chat whether he was a journalist! He laughed at it and later I figured out what blogging is all about & started my own on blogger. Which I later moved to self hosted wordpress with domain name.
This post is first of the series I’m planning to write under tag “butterfly-effect” to bring out those small little moments back in my life which made a big difference.
Running on fumes!
A year!
Its been a year since I left the job to do something on my own. It feels more longer than that though.
