			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s day of my bootstrapping marathon. I have been pumping my idea into a few people.I thought why not call up my long time buddy and engage him.</p>
<p>Lookslike he was very frustrated with the day due to reviling experience.My friend has done dual masters in Technology and Entrepreneurship from US.</p>
<p>I know he is an awesome guy from our 4 year friendship in college.I also knew his yearning for running his own business.we also have been chatting up on new business.we even discussed a product like Kindle.Yes, believe me.</p>
<p>I made the pitch.he liked it.he asked a few questions for which I don&#8217;t have an answer.I promised him that we can find the answers as we go along.we also discussed about Analysis Paralysis and decided to pump in $5000 each as seed money.</p>
<p>What each will take care of is not clear.we will together work to build our product.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the last week i have had the chance to interact with 3 possible vendors after i posted my requirements on Twitter. 1 is a freelancer from Chennai, India. You can visit his site <a href="http://www.aswinanand.com">www.aswinanand.com</a>. We had a good conversation. Aswin has decided to opt out of doing this work due to his present commitment.Cool. I liked his grace in informing me. So, i want to keep aswin in confidance on any technical issues i will come up with.</p>
<p>I have also spoken to NandaKumar from <a href="http://www.ndot.in">www.ndot.in</a> . I learnt what it means to be a committed entrepreneur. He is very open and flexible. We have not met till now. I have a great opinion about his capabilities to assist me with my work.I haven&#8217;t decided on the nature of work i will give him.But, i will give him some work and i need your assistance in structuring my relationship with him.Feel free to comment here.</p>
<p>I have also had a nice little interaction with an outsourcer from Gautemela @outsourcegaute. Vow twitter, is helping me like nobody. Apart from this i also interacted with @iqbalgandham. He seems to be an awesome guy. I want to rope him as my mentor.How do i ask him so directly. Iqbal, please see this blog&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>I also want to interact with @missrogue because my idea is somewhat inspired by the concept of Social Capital&#8230;mmm.I am spilling the beans too much&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>Anyway , guys spread the word and help me with my bootstrapping. You can get involved by dropping a note.</p>

<p>We have decided to go with LAMP stack based on calibration of our<br />
requirements.I want to know</p>
<p>a) Any issues/challenges/pitfalls you have experienced or we should be<br />
conscious of while implementing based on LAMP.<br />

Startup we are in touch with. I want your suggestions/inputs on</p>
<p>a) Any Criteria we should look at from Talent/Experience/Reference<br />
b) Optimal Rates for Web App and Price Points we can negotiate.<br />
c) Pricing Terms if we want to include Profit-Share options<br />
d) Any risks i should foresee and build clauses for protection.</p>
<p>Please also advice me on any areas we should look at as we build this<br />
application.</p>
<p>Looking forward to your inputs.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know my blog is not that popular but yet,i think it&#8217;s important for me to document my need using place rather then others.It will also stand testimony to my seriousness on the need.</p>
<p>Looking to develop an app for Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter to provide an added feature to the existing eco system.I don&#8217;t know what will be the outcome of developing that app.I feel it&#8217;s an ok idea which i want to implement. Ready to risk my life saving on it and looking for serious folks who want to partner with me in terms of </p>
<p> pureplay freelancing</p>
<p>freelancing + equity</p>
<p>pureplay equity</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know how this works out interms of the % i can offer. We can checkup with somebody.It&#8217;s too much&#8230;i haven&#8217;t described my need yet.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t about web 2.0 app too much except that  Php, MySql etc are popularly used in the app stack. You will take complete care of the technical aspect with scope for a mobile device interface while i will take care of the ideation and the business development portion.</p>
<p>You need to be based out of Chennai,India. I am ok with people in other part&#8217;s of India or the US or other countries but i can only pay at India rates. Rest assured we can work out a fair deal based on your expertise and passion for the idea.</p>
<p>Feel free to drop a comment&#8230;we can catch up</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Long time since my last post. I was exploring twitter and other things caught up.</p>
<p>Today is Friday.As u may be aware we Muslim attend. Mosque and listen to the pulpit speach by Imam, Maulvi, Alim , Scholar.The<br />
 normal themes would be around Good deeds, fighting Satan, what awaits in grave etc..</p>
<p>But, it was about May day and labour issues from a Muslim point of view.aspiring to be entrepreneur, labour issues are key and an important component of Success.So I<br />
lent a careful ear.</p>
<p>Treat labour Fairly.Never exploit them.Be patient with their mistakes and overlook them.Give their pay/salary before their sweat drops etc..Maulvi substantiated his statements by verses from Quran and stories/incidents from life of Prophet Muhammed.</p>
<p>I was very fascinated.I learned these things in school and college under communism.lt has been said and practized by the reformed Arabs 1400 yrs ago.wow really cool.</p>
<p>The imam also spoke about the rights of the boss(future me) and what he can rightfully expect from his employee. Importance of Integrity and Commitment were stressed.</p>
<p> I was in awe as I never knew these aspects of religion.Anyway I learned the religious teaching on labour and why everday should be May day for my employees.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have been fascinated by the idea of human powered search.the ability of the human mind to discern the useful ones from the useless ones is fascinating even though it&#8217;s bias may be an irritant.</p>
<p>So, I thought mahalo struck the right cord.off late, I have become a fan of twitter. I haven&#8217;t used Google for a while nor have I used Mahalo because all I needed for learning has come from those I follow in twitter.</p>
<p>Given the size of the links database, I will not be able to show my back on Google at least for the foreseeable future.</p>
<p>Twitter search is inefficient at this moment so it works more like a feed.<br />
I see attempts to improve the same.</p>
<p>If Twitter improves information categorization and it&#8217;s search ability, it closes the gap on what Mahalo attempts to do.</p>
<p>So, Is Twitter a threat to Mahalo?  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have to make a little confession. I was unstable in my behavior yesterday because of some problem.</p>
<p>So it expressed itself when I chided my wife on some questions she asked. I felt bad after the call.I called her up today and profusely apologized.</p>
<p>She was very glad and too happy. You need to experience it to understand the intensity of the expression:)</p>
<p>Why write about family matters? I see a parallel to the Customer and Company relationship. A Customer marries into the company with a lot of trust anticipating great service or product.</p>
<p>When you service or product is sub standard he is disappointed and your relationship sours.</p>
<p>As the husband makes up to his wife, a Company could do that too.</p>
<p>Call up the customer and say a genuine Sorry and make up.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I bought a new AlMirah today from a sale place very close to my house.It is a seconds(not used) item purchased at a discount of 45% from it&#8217;s stated cost.</p>
<p>They had offered a discount of 35% while I further negotiated additional 10%.I am glad I was able to get at that price of rs 6100.</p>
<p>The product had a few scratches but who cares. It&#8217;s not something I am going to wear everyday.it&#8217;s purely for home use which gave me the comfort to go for it.</p>
<p>Sure, there will be some unknown problems. I am sure I can tackle them as I go along.</p>
<p>Thank Allah(God) for making my buy easy.</p>
<p>Hope He can make my wife feel Happy too&#8230;..</p>

<p>Though it is taking away my priced possession, i am ok with it because</p>
<p>1. It helps me find people I am interested to follow.<br />
2. It gives me access to the patterns of behavior of those I follow.<br />
3. Knowledge access . I get a hang of what the current best read and share.</p>
<p>I am confessed twitter addict. There is no more anything called privacy</p>
