"One want to find someone who not only loves him / her, but lets themselves experience love and doesn’t worry about the chances of things actually working out.

Yes, Relationships are like start-ups.  If you join one because you think it will be successful, versus just joining one because its interesting, worthwhile, and its something you’re passionate about—regardless of its ultimate chance of success—then you shouldn’t be in one.

Most relationships, like most startups, don’t last forever. They’re also completely unpredictable, so you just find good people, communicate well, and do your best…"

A start-up is too much work, you gotta keep the wheel running, no matter whatever f**ks-up or slows down, you gotta keep it moving… You know you’re a geek of very high order since your school days. You knew what Web is all about when you were a 10 year old kid. Finally, You’re now an entrepreneur, running your own show on the Web 2.0, which mix Web 2.0 with healthcare in India.

Things always don’t stay same, the thing called “change” is most constant thing in the life… yes it is, full of ups & down! What you do…?

You do… Reverse Entrepreneurship!

What is that? …That is something which build companies like Apple! That is something that makes you know who you are, what you can do and do more! And that keeps the wheel running, the wheel you build by your own hands and you know that wheel will go a long way! …And trust me it is a bliss!

This is excellent. I am glad to inform you all that my start-up HealthcareMagic.com is one of finalist at TIE Canaan Entrepreneurial Challenge 2008. We have submitted our Business Plan for the challenge couple of weeks ago and we’re among 8 finalist! Total 140 start-ups from all over India competed for the challenge, and it is great to be one of the finalist.

Let’s see, we’re working on it… we’re the only company representing Bangalore and I feel the concept we’re working on at HealthcareMagic.com is full of potential to to go to a long way!

Well… Ideas, by themselves, are worthless. Unless there is proper execution, ideas will go nowhere. To execute, you need focus and persistence. Unwavering focus on your ultimate goal.

While some of the aspiring entrepreneurs wither away trying to find that ‘perfect idea’, several others suffer from a different syndrome - one that can be attributed to ‘too many ideas’. These idea whores cant stop coming up with new business ideas. They tend to get so overwhelmed with all the new ideas, that the net result is that they cant focus on implementing any single one of them. As soon as they start implementing one idea, their mind wavers to the ‘next big thing’. At the end of the day, they’ve not properly explored a single idea.

I’ll admit - I’ve succumbed to this wavering myself, a couple of times.

HCM is my first enterprepreneurial experience, I’ve learnt one very valuable lesson - based on my discussions with my partners who are successful entrepreneurs and several other successful entrepreneurs and businessmen.

Entrepreneurship takes discipline and persistence. Everyone gets ideas. Ideas are cheap and easy - executing on a particular idea is the difficult part.

What do you think ? Have you suffered from the ‘Idea Overflow’ syndrome at any point? …Let me know…

blog, blog, blog it all
blog it if it’s big or small

…blog even if you’re wrong
won’t you blog about this song?

How could we not? A perfect link-bait video, and it is pretty funny too (Here Comes Another Bubble).

This happens, and this sucks! If you’re a start-up & you’re using one of those cutting-edge technologies in your start-up, about which people only hear or read on the web, you’ll end-up explaining, explain a lot.

Most of the startups these days seem to be working on either Web 2.0 or Socializing their application & services. If you ask about the developer base for this platforms, it is much smaller than demand. I’ve been on both ends of the phone in calling up people looking for such talent and on the receiving end of calls with people asking if I know of people who are available for hire.

Inflation was defined as “Too much money chasing too few goods” and that principle more than applies here.

The issue with freshers these days seem to be:

• Lack of Knowledge 
• Lack of Programming & Design habits
• The risk involved in hiring a blank slate

The good part in all this talent crunch is the availability of languages & designing that are easier to learn. Imagine explaining “pointers” to someone over a weekend. Ahem!

Been busy, very busy for long time… Lost my blog’s DB & all posts as it was secretly hosted on my college hosting for last 1.5 years and those buggers have deleted my domain folder from the hosting… anyways… In the mean time, I quit my last company and… started my own company…

I’m glad to inform you about my new venture www.HealthcareMagic.com

Usually we come across this situation when we’re looking for a Doctor or Hospital in the nearby location? Wondering whether the Doctor is good or bad? How do his patients rate him? Worst, you want to crib about a Doctor who gave you all those costly medicines for no bloody reason? Well, hit the wild web… and make your own decision!

And to help you out… I’ve recently launched the BETA version of HealthcareMagic.

HealthcareMagic allows live interaction between doctors and patients, and is a integrated comparison portal for health. Most importantly, the portal allows reviews of doctors/hospitals and Healthcare products/services. We’ve done the portal nicely and one can search for doctors/hospitals based on specialties/area code, as well as chat with doctors online. Currently the portal is Bangalore-only, we will be expanding the portal yo you city very soon.
