Silence
The payments, salaries, bills, rent, The launching of the online shop, The revolt of the team, the tiredness, the pain, The sweat and the tears. We are there and yet not there, we are here and yet not here. A morning, an evening followed by night, A job, a career, a way of life, A … Continue reading
Sanity and Silence
The bills, the salaries, the rents (of the office and the house), yet again. Money,knowledge,relationships,life- all are so unrelated to each other and yet there is this powerful illusion that one leads to the other. We are so used to living in illusions, in dreams of our own creation. Chal raha hai. Chalta to rahega hi. … Continue reading
Pack up time
A lot is happening in a non-happening way. At last, the wavelengths of the team members have begun to match. The environment has energy. Ashok is trying to delve deeper into the guidlelines. The maps for the online shop have started gaining momentum and we have a small site in Chennai to work with. Silakari … Continue reading
Just numbers
We have yet another addition in the admin team. Rajneesh, a bright boy with at least 6 years of experience behind him. We are now following the 80:20 rule.

Actually there is an inversely proportional relationship between the two. The more self-respect one is willing to give up, … Continue reading
For today
Silakari of Aakar Consultants refuses to pay us. Refuses to take our calls. The last Shiva spoke to him, he wanted us to fax a letter stating (begging) that we need a part payment. The poverty in the minds of people amazes me. We have finished the work. It has been gruelling to collect the … Continue reading
Back to the basics
Today is just one of those days. A day of ‘grief’. For all that did not work out. For all that was lost. From all that I had to walk away from. There is a sense of ‘tiredness’ from facing the consequences of ‘taking a stand’ all the time. Its like winning and losing. Its … Continue reading
Thanksgiving
Slowly but surely the wheels of fortune seem to be turning. Even as I write this, I am scared that it is not real, that I am just imagining things, that we will be trapped forever in this debt trap. That freedom and abundance is not for us. That being a woman is my biggest … Continue reading
