The Inspiration

"It is difficult to begin a story in which each person involved has his own beginning..”

“Why Does the story have to always begin from the beginning. This story we tell begins from our inspiration”

It was one hot night in a hot city of India that one of us chanced upon this book called Fuckedcompany.com there is a website by the same name also. The book spoke about 100’s of dot com ideas which began in the dot com era and how they went bankrupt sinking millions of dollars of investor money. With each story came an insight as to why the particular dotcom failed, most failures were due promise of products which nobody really required, some were about promises which the distribution could never fulfill and yet some ideas were those which were ahead of their time and the technology could not support the same

In any case what the book did was to make the fortunate one of us think as to what if he were to launch a website, would it get (you know what)

Going back about six months before the same person read the book, he attended a lecture from one Mr Mahesh Murthy at 12.00 clock in midnight about how its so simple to start with a business by using the internet as a backbone, so inspired he was by the lecture that he applied for summers at the same company (passionfunds india) however the application was never accepted. The lecture did tell him that creating a business through a website indeed was a simple process.
This thought always remained with him. He would generate ideas every now and then and tell his friends about how he could create different websites. The most extreme of an idea was to create a website where one could leave a message for the loved ones before he dies which could then be delivered.

Going back 2 months before the same person who read the book and heard Mr Murthy he was organizing a inter college rock competition when he came across a website called rsjonline.com a simple website which had everything about what a rock fan wanted in India. The site was very effective in the manner it accepted and displayed information its simplicity and efficiency amazed this person

This story now goes back to the time after the book was read when this person decided that its high time that he should follow his dream. What began then is The Search

“It takes a heart to dream dreams it requires a soul to fulfill them”
