The To do list

The to do list for small businesses

An entrepreneuer has different roles to play, this is a known fact and folks who choose this path are aware of the same.  A decade back  if you are good at what you are, you get known and accepted, and you had to focus on just getting better. These days besides being good at your line of work you have to be a good writer, phtographer, accountant, brand manager, website developer etc.

The to do list of an average day is something like this - 

Click amazing pictures for your social media promotions

Think of amazing content for your blog

Add fresh pages to your website

Tally accounts and get all the billing done

Prepare presentations for your sales meetings

Design new products for promotions

Keep up with the operations and make sure guests are satisfied

Address griviances 

Manage finaces 

The list keeps growing, if you are working in a small team like we do all the above tasks happen back to back within hours. That is what keeps it interesting as well as exciting but how can we be good at all the different roles at the same time. The times require you to be the best in everything, your growth depends not just on how good you are at managing the core of your business but also at branding, promoting, selling, accounting etc. 

Technology has democrotised all sectors where you can write, promote and convey your thougths and ideas to a large audience but it also requires you to be the best at everything after all just being good at your line of work is not good enough anymore and you need to be good in the whole package. This is what we are also trying for and hopefully we will get better as well.

All said and done never a dull day in an entrepreneuer's life. There might be many sad, fustrating and dejecting days but never a dull one.

It's About the Bum

Crossing over from Goa to Maharashtra, Crossing the Karli river, had to really convince this guy. My ride on the boat on the river Karli Wadantar Back waters, near Vijaydurg Vijaydurg fort, it was a relief to reach here, the ride till here was never ending. Can I get a Thums Up please Crossing over from Vijaydurg to Jaitapur  Thank God ! it was low tide. My highest climb, so I thought near Ratnagiri.  from Dhabol to Dhopave. When you are down you just have to look around. A huge ancient Masjid in Dhopave. Just before crossing over to Raigad. The terrain, roads were fairly good !! Crossing over a bridge in Jaitapur Siolim bridge in Goa My journey through Konkan on a cycle Sindhudurg..... "Fear is a good thing." The night before I started my journey was a nervous one. Packing, unpacking, trying to make my backpack lighter, question's all over me - What if I get robbed? What if ...

There is only 1 Goa in India

 Goa first came on the tourist map in the 60's as a hippie haven, probably the golden era of tourism in this tiny state. The tourists were more sensitive towards local culture and the environment. They consumed less and were happy living the life of the locals.  When the benefits of liberalisation started to trickle down and when a new and ambitious middle class started travelling, Goa witnessed mass tourism in the 90's and 2000's. There was a sudden surge of investments, construction and development, the era of unplanned tourism growth. Everyone wanted to be in Goa and everyone wanted to invest here.  The result of this era is what we experience in Goa of today, the relaxed vibe gave way to environmental degradation, overcrowding and cultural commodification, everything that this sunny seaside state was not known for.  Yet there is only 1 Goa in India and tourists still come here in hordes to experience the beaches, architecture, cuisine and the Goan vibe.  Whe...

Pondy without its soul

I am a firm believer that magic created in certain destinations should not be replicated else where. With magic I mostly refer to food. For example, I would never order a Goan fish curry and rice outside Goa, similarly there are many street food joints in Goa that are known for Wada - Pav but I have never had the courage to have them there. Some how Wada - Pav is synonymous to Mumbai and how ever good the taste it is not complete without having it on a busy road in Mumbai, with lots of crowd, noise, honking and chaos. Certain dishes and delicacies are complete only at certain locales. In our annual visit to Kerala (our home town) the early morning's I look forward to Kattan Kappi (Black Coffee) also known just as "Kattan". Some how the urge to have them never kicks inn while at home in Goa or Mumbai. It is not all about the coffee but the whole package of having a hot glass of kattan while watching elders reading Malayalam Manorama and discussing the news in the thinna...
