Old Lady's Job Search

I am very happy to say that Old Lady got a job offer from Qualcomm, Hyderabad. If she accepts the offer, we will soon be looking for a 1 or 2 BHK in Madhapur, Kondapur, Miyapur areas. The closer to high tech city the better. Rents in Hyderabad have shot up too and we may have to pay up to 12k for a decent 2 BHK.

Responses to comments for my previous post

There was an anonymous comment asking for reasons for failure of my venture. I do have some thoughts and I wanted to write about them for quite a while. I can't it put it off any longer because:

   a) Explicit request from anonymous commentor.
   b) Move from Riya to Microsoft is huge change in work environment: Several things I came to witness and experience in Riya make perfect sense in a startup environment and I would like to put them down in writing for my own sake before I start getting used to Microsoft and forget all about the startup spirit.


That said, I need a few weekends to put it together because it isn't as simple as saying the equivalent of "vini, vidi, vici".

From Jude's comment to my previous post, it looks like I am not the only one feeling left out of the startup phenomena. If you read the articles by Paul Graham, you'd feel even more inclined to start something of your own. He has written several articles about starting up (funding a startup, ideas for startup, etc.). Believe it or not, he has even written one about why it is a bad idea to not start a startup!
