Tonight is the night!

We shall row it, on and on.
It’s 3 am and folks at MediaRedefined are at work. A couple of them are out to get some food. No we’re not at Kargil but at our cozy office in Vaishali. Warm jackets, half a dozen notebooks, A4 sheets, music, foot on table and redness in most eyes – guys are striving hard to get the project ready for the release.
A dozen pet bottles, empty packs of smoke and wafers died out midway before they reached the trash can in the kitchen. It’s chaos! But just as I believe, the best of the works one can ever do is done under chaos. No ease or peace can get you productivity as compared to the one achieved when the deadlines make a whistling sound in your ears and pass by.
Tonight is one such night. Yesterday was another one. May be I shall talk about it later sometime.
We’ve read, heard and said countless number of times that life is tough. Yes it is, but there is a toughness you might just love to see in your team. No, this was not to prove that we have one of the toughest teams in the world at work. But yes, there aren’t many I have seen like this before!
It’s been more than 12 hours since folks haven’t moved their asses off the chairs which I feel have lived their age. It’s time to get new chairs for the office. Before that, we need a new office in the first place.
Amongst a dozen people I answered and justified (or atleast, tried to) my choice of being an entrepreneur is that you see and mould things in your own good way and not just wait for them to happen. I know it’s easier said than done but I still love the fact. I am sure you getting it. Did I mention by now that I ain’t high? Trust me, if at all I am, it’s due to the lack of sleep and not an overdose of booze.
I have already crossed 300 words and still not sure of what to title this post as. It happens with me quite a few times that I think of a title when I am done with my appetite of adding words to it. I guess I am not done yet.
Yesterday, I was having a discussion with my co-founder, Gaurav that we could have screwed up the business within 4 months of starting up, or to sum it up, we nearly made no money in the first couple of months and how much is enough! Yeah, there is nothing as enough when you’re out to make money but there is a bare minimum to everything – just as it is 3 pegs to get to the tune – warna to gala bhi gila nahi hota!
I hope the propositions I am working on mature well enough for us to ram into the projections.
I could go on, but may be the smell of food that the folks have just brought in is tempting enough to put a stop for tonight.
I shall keep them rolling, off and on – something which I love to do the most – wish it was the only thing I had to do – blogging! That get’s me the title of the post
Way to go!
