temperatures rising

days are getting hotter. delhi has become almost too hot to live in. pamy and me we went out to get business - for organo - we visited a nursery. met the owner - a khan sahab. he was very skeptical about our fertilizer rates. he wanted fatter margins on the price. anyways pamy's done the pricing in isolation, keeping in mind the market dynamics in the north east. now we find out that the north india sugar industries make compost from their waste. they can afford to ask prices which will not be feasible for us. so our pricing is not competitive.

anyways the nursery owner got very interested when he found out that we are from darjeeling. he wants orchids and saplings from kalimpong. let's see if we can get him some stuff.

new talent comes on board

i visited ratnesh and babul. 2 different individuals with different skill sets and different outlooks to life - but they are similar in one way - they are both artists - they live for what they do. ratnesh is into static websites, and graphic design for print and the the internet. babul is into dynamic websites and portals - he understands linux and the things you can do on a linux server - he loves php and making portals. they have something else in common - they both hate business development and client servicing and all the related headaches. that's where i come into the picture.

i am giving them a choice - work the way you want to - from home - from office - work your own timings and at your own pace. i don't care - as long as the work gets done on time. they love the idea - i get the clients - fix the payment structure - they do the work - i interface with the client - i take care of payments - they never have to worry.

i'm making them grafix email ids. i am getting them on the internet. we work on a global village philosophy - we telecommute, we freelance, we are flexible. this way i can get the best talent - at a manageable cost. no salaries no overheads to worry about.

i know i can pull it off. it'll take time but i am confident that i'll succeed.

i'm an artist myself - i know how the creative mind functions - i know what an artist's needs are - been there done that.

babul gave me a list of sites he's worked on - we'll showcase them as dynamic sites. we'll make it. i'm sure.

what is this blog all about. it is a collection of dreams, rants, hopes, nightmares, broken images and just a place i let off a lot of steam. a screaming tree of sorts.

it's difficult being at the top. it is more difficult getting there. i'm on my way to the top - this is my travel blog. my journal of my journey. all my hopes, my dreams and my fears will find their way to this page.
