Happening time of my life

So much has happened in last two months. I have been so much through rush of emotions and actions. Let me remember, what all I can.
First, our life has changed forever, by the arrival of our Son, Kanha. And we have so many new things to learn to cope with him. More patience, more smiles, more fun and more realisation of our limitations.

Priya, my wife, have been through severe pain as spinal anesthesia in cesarean operation caused hyperaesthesia in her leg. It's classic case of how doctors can be careless. And though, she is a state level officer with department of health, we were misled and misguided. How they may treat and What may happen to poor people..scarce me. We have gone through tremendous physical and mental trauma.

And we have the most happening time at Carwale. Both Kanha and Carwale are infants and need most care. Its challenging and more fun at work and at home.

I am happier that we have agreed on a plan and milestones with our first round investors. Moreover, their advise and business insights helped us move faster. And Carwale team is ever more confident. Of course, we are yet to sign a term sheet and get the money in our bank. I'll write more on this experience, once we formalise the deal.

Interacting with investors and advisors, has taught me a lot. I know, I have made some mistakes to get the momentum and to get the speed a start up need. But I am doubly assured, whenever I do another venture this learning be the most crucial resource I'll carry with me. I'll soon detail on my experience in this role.


And I'll be ever grateful to my in-laws, parents, friends and Carwale team for so much of co-operations and encouragement during this happening time of my life.
