The box of patience is empty

        All Entrepreneurs who have been in my shoes ever will understand my situation. My startup Awesummly, which was launched in July 2015, is yet to get funded.

        Around April 2016, we received soft commitment from Partha Ventures and Anirudh Dhiman for seed fund. Anirudh asked us not to look out anywhere else as he promised he will fund us. By October-November 2016, he refused to fund us. Around 6 months of hanging helpless, just to fuck us at the end.

        In September 2016, we cracked The Fault Show, a reality show for startups. In the Fault Show, Vikas Bhargava and Kashmira Shah promised us to fund. And the promise is yet to be broken. It has been 6 months already. This time its just not soft commitment, in fact all the papers, including Term Sheet, are made. Just one of the investor Kashmira is yet to sign it. She don't even pick us call or reply to WhatsApp or email. But Vikas is still assuring us, the deal is still on.

        We were patient till now. But my box of patience is empty now. Writing the frustration down to calm down my temper. Family, friends and girlfriends/wives are killing us. I have lost all my savings and I am 4L down to my wife, plus if I would be earning I might have earned more than 60L in these 2 years. My wife, who is supposed to help me or give me moral support, taunts and scolds me to persuade me quit (FOR MY OWN GOOD).

        Feeling like Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain's character Vibhuti Narayan Mishra aka Nalla but my wife says Vibhuti at least does household chores. If my wife divorces me then that will be because of Kashmira. How does it even sound? Kashmira's husband will kill me.

A Few Good Men - Dr. Jagan Mohan Reddy


        My wife's mouth and tongue was burnt when she drank a hot tea. At 10PM at night, it started paining a lot.



        So I and her brother took her to a nearby dentist. His name was Dr. Jagan Mohan Reddy. He checked her mouth for 5 minutes. He then wrote 2 creams and 1 capsule and took sufficient time to explain how to apply those creams and what for the capsule was. He even bore/enjoyed me and my brother-in-law constantly teasing her all the time.


        When we asked him his fees, he said, "Its ok. I did not do any dental stuff. So its ok. Also for paying, you will have to register and all, just ignore".

        First time I met a doctor who didn't charge us a penny for his service. He could have easily charged us at least 100-200 and also we would not have mind giving that. He woke up my trust in humans and specially in doctors community.

        Thank you Dr. Jagan Mohan Reddy.
