How Does it Feel?

How does it feel when you want to live death beckons you

How does it feel when what you believe in turns incredulous 

How does it feel when dear ones need you and you are hand tied

 

How does it feel to love and to have lost

How does it feel when the solution is only a problem

How does it feel when disappointment never disappoints you

 

How does it feel when your faith is what ruins you

How does it feel when you pray and your prayers go unanswered

How does it feel when you yearn for a shoulder but are abandoned

 

How does it feel when your dreams are shattered

How does it feel when you want to cry but don't know how to cry

How does it feel when what you thought as ray of hope is only a twilight

 

How does it feel when you are penniless someone asks you for alms

How does it feel when you step out of a maze just to see the maze has no end

How does it feel when you hit the bed with weary eyes and wake up with teary eyes

 

How does it feel when the ones you love are the ones who stab 

How does it feel when the ones you believe are the ones who ditch 

How does it feel when you are torn apart someone stitches and than tears you apart

 

How does it feel when you realize you are fooling yourself everyday

But are cautious about not being fooled by others

Happy fools day...

 

P.S

How does it feel when you tweet and no one responds

How does it feel when you update your status and no one comments

How does it feel when you write a blog from your heart and no one visits

 

How does it feel when you come to know I sold this post for one million?

Love, Entrepreneurship and Pain

I was recently invited to talk about entrepreneurship to a bunch of college students. My session was at 1.30 p.m right after lunch yaaawwwn... I knew it was going to be a real challenge to keep them and myself awake for the entire session and that was the genesis of my presentation entrepreneurship and love. As I started working on it I was stunned to find the common thread between entrepreneurship and love. 

After the customary introduction as soon as I briefed the topic the entire auditorium giggled and laughed bringing life and energy into the room, power of love :-)

Just when I thought I can pull this off successfully a gentleman interrupted stating that he had a question for me. I was kinda confused as to what he was going to ask as I had not even begun my presentation. As I kept wondering... he asked me... You compare entrepreneurship with love than why is there failure in entrepreneurship?

Least of the question i expected. I took a long breath, an excuse to buy time and replied... Love does not usually have a fairy tale end, few last for months, some for years and very few last for lifetime. A comparison with vinnai thandi varuvaya and things fell in place. How true with entrepreneurship too!

The gentleman who asked me the question joined teaching profession fourteen years ago after his business did not do as good as he expected it to but even after all these years I could see passion and pain in him when he shared his story, fourteen years of pain.

He who said “It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all” either did not fail in love or fall in love. 

When the entrepreneurship bug bites just like the love bug people start dreaming of rosy and they lived  happily ever after endings while many times reality is a sharp contrast. More than eighty percent of business shutdown by year three, and my gut feel is love would not fare any better if not worse.

As I try to dress up my resume after a close encounter with love an empty word document is what adores my desktop for more than a week now and I am able to better empathize with the question asked. The gentleman wanted to know if there was a fool proof way to be successful. If you have any tips and tricks for a rosy beautiful ending in love/entrepreneurship please do leave a comment.
