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.

Caterpillar Uneaten Leaves Problem – HackerEarth Interview Question

-
QUESTION DESCRIPTION K caterpillars are eating their way through N leaves. Each caterpillar falls from leaf to leaf in a unique sequence. All caterpillars start at a twig in position 0 and fall onto the leaves at positions between 1 and N. Each caterpillar i has an associated ‘jump-number’ j. A caterpillar with jump number j eats leaves at positions that are multiples of j. It will proceed in the order j, 2j, 3j, … till it reaches the end of the leaves, then it stops and builds its cocoon. Given a set A of K elements, K ≤ 15, N ≤ 10^9, N >> K, we need to determine the number of uneaten leaves. Input Format: N = number of leaves K = number of caterpillars A = Array of integer jump numbers (one per line). Output Format: An integer denoting the number of uneaten leaves. Sample Input: 10 3 2 4 5 Sample Output: 4 Explanation [2,4,5] is the 3-member set of jump numbers. All leaves which are multiples of 2, 4, and 5 are eaten. Leaves 1,3,7,9 are left, and so th...

Premise             My housemates and I shut off the house lights and household appliances from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on March 27 to participate in the annual Earth Hour event. We (Murli, Satish and I) went to our terraces. Murli and Satish are school friends. So they told me about their school days fun.             In their school, the girls had separate 2 rows on one side and boys had separate 3 rows on other. But Murli always used to be near or in girls row. He used to eat their Tiffin’s. There was a villainous boy in the school, who used to hate Satish. The boy was fat and was nicknamed Motu. Though he did not had much problem with Murli, but some way I remembered the guy as villain in Murli’s school who hated him too. Dream             In the dream, Murli and I were in same school. He, I and 2 hotties (...

The Undertaker - A True Legend

I am one of the lucky ones who can proudly say I grew up watching the Undertaker situp, every time he is down on the mat, since 1995, the first time WWF was telecasted in India. I was hardly 8 years old when I first saw him on black and white television. I don't know how I remember it but I guess I remember it because the Undertaker's situp and gaining power from the urn was not something we regularly see on television. It was supernatural. I remember watching the highlights of his casket match with Yokozuna, where the Undertaker fought with almost every heal on the roster. I remember his match with the imposter Undertaker, who later played the Undertaker in a Bollywood movie Khiladiyon ka Khiladi; and like most Indians, even I thought he was the real one for more than 7 years. I remember few of his deadly matches with Mankind, even the one where he threw Mankind from the top of the cell twice. I remember the debut of Kane, and we kids decla...
