Exampe of A
Just take yesterday’s note, we were running a night shift as we could not buy enough computers as we are shifting to new office (and all expenses, blah blah initial shrinking pocket problems) but we thought we need to pull them to the morning shift, I called them a day before yesterday and said night shift is over, all shifted to morning shift. Still did’t know from where the computers will come. Yesterday, I had few deliverables, completed it, then went for consultancy, came back at around 8pm and then realized about the computers … called up Father-in-law for his laptop, arranged few except one, checked the old computer which was not working, tried fixing it up, did not happen, we (with Rajesh, the source of energy) put the computer into car, went on to check for a computer repair fellow, hit the bad guy (Who gave all nonsense ideas like SMPS not working, motherboard is gone), lost some money, came back almost unsuccessful but with a hope as the computer showed a glimse of hope that it is still alive, we opened it up, cleaned it up, saw youtube videos to fix fan ,,., and finally made it work .. fixed it on one corner and then realized that it is desktop and we will have to pull the lan line to get internet …. no way said both of us … then we had to remove one laptop from the desk which was next to the switch but the laptop’s wireless connection was not working for many months …. so in order to make the laptop work, we had to fix the wireless problem … hell we read few articles, we fixed that too … exchanged the laptop and desktop’s position … to realize that the desktop is not showing any network adapter, again opened it, fixed it …. till 11:30 …. the best part of all is that it was so much fun to both of us … we were enjoying it …. You will have to be Jugadu to make things happen ..,, without any doubt…
There are 1000s of examples from last 7 years of working with startups

Example of U,
It can hurt you and your family deep, everyone has complains, I listen to them, I understand them and expect them to give me some more time in life to fix it up … Somedays you go really down when it hurts your family but then thats life, startups are tough … (Also a good family is your strength too)

But as you state – “on the Tuesday my wife was to come home, I wasn’t around. I was signing my first term sheet of my life and Neeraj Bhargava (E-Ventures) and I were putting our pens to paper at the Oberoi Lobby. My wife never forgave me for this. And let me confess that I am guilty of my action.”…

Question: Is it really worth missing your wife’s homecoming with the kid, for anything…even a passionate entrepreneurial project? Perhaps it is – I don’t know.
