This is Day 2 - The 100 Minutes
Hello All! Sorry for delayed post! Let me tell you, I am a Lazy man! (but not at office). Here i am, with the final edition of Day-2, This is Part-3 "The 100 Minutes". Hope you enjoy it!
“Oh sweet baby, Tell me your name” This English singer blew me up as we entered the willow café. Soft cream colored trousers and a cool beach type orange floral top, touchy white earphones plugged into ears hidden behind those black shiny hairs which made an absolute boy hair cut. Nandini was obvious to be discovered and the iphone looked damn sexy in her hands! Juggling with the capacitive touch screen, the wonderful lady was engulfed by either any rhythms or any sort of surfing. I don’t know why, but aman inhales lot of air when he meets a new person but nevertheless his chest gets larger! May be he feels that getting a bigger and broader chest will impound the situation for him and he will be more dominating! Lolzz.. It was a small café from the scene, but it surely had basements and upper floors to my guess after couple of skinny girls emerged from downstairs.
There were two round tables, with the first one already occupied by some bunch of honcho group. I would definitely call them honcho as of the aura they made! Then was the next table! The Owner of may be a BMW, or may be a merc, could be Skoda was sitting there looking at us and there she greets! “Nandini, you might be aman & abhishek” She self-introduced. “Hi, ah- yes! Aman, and my friend abhishek” aman quickly uttered before I dropped my jaw! There were smiles all around and it was a perfect flavor to talk business! No matter, we were missing sameer and that I didn’t even dared to rotate my neck to scrutinize his presence. That moment just locked us into the table and I am sure If He was standing right behind us; we could have still never noticed him! We were so fuckingly possessive about our moves or it was like we lost our minds!
For a moment we were jammed but then, it was all nandini’s! I wonder how one can craft the situation so friendly in first meeting and that too when you are an investor! She eased us with her auspicious presence and then talked about general terms and things. As I mentioned in my first post of Day-1, I speak less in meetings, but that doesn’t mean I have nothing to speak. It’s just that in my perspective Listening is more important in a meeting for me and that I speak little but valuable. Now, It was Mr. Speaker, Aman! To my astonishment there was no broader chest! Seemed like he has dominated and that he is resting it now! If I has to say, I would say, that his chest is a weapon for him! He inflates it at right moment, and then exhales it unknowingly. (Many people do this, Do you? lolzz). Slowly we discover that sameer is on call and he has gone to parking. Then all of a sudden, “Hi, Sameer” Sameer encounters as expected, with a cool attitude filling the moment. His entry reminds me of the movie social network, Like Sean Parker, enters the café to meet Mark and Saverin! We shake hands and start with the talks. Now here I saw something to compare, where nandini had a boy hair cut, sameer had long shiny hairs! Nevertheless, He looked perfect and that he got exactly what was needed!
As aman defined me about his clothing sense while in taxi, Here, Sameer seriously wore shorts and a t-shirt with I guess sandals. That was actually looking cool and we enjoyed his presence. People were coming and going it was we, who kept on talking and laughing. Though I wanted tea, but aman’s dominating accent forced me to order a cold coffee, which I never enjoyed! (Aman we have sorted that na!) Gosh! I wanted to kill him! It was a big fat cup! Only I know how I poured it inside. Everyone knew, I finished last but no one knew, I left quite MLs under the foam! Ha-ha.
The time was tickling like cool breeze, and aman and I were busy in explaining our earlier ventures. What surprised me most was that after making the biggest ever campus network in college, our principal to teacher, no one ever motivated and praised us for what we have done to them and that these guys who read about it in the form we filled for enrollment to their investment batch were boosting us like if they knew us by years! They made us feel so special and we felt! No one has ever asked us about how we made that thing and how we could have made it more efficient! It was these guys who actually talked business about it! We were impressed and delighted!
We shared about our interests and learnt many success stories from nandini, one especially about red-quanta guy, who happened to be their brother. It was all business stories now, and we were feeling great to be there! They wanted aman to quit his job and work full time on our project and that they motivated him like anything. They described an IT job as a Drug, full of luxuries and weekends and that it’s very difficult to cut the dose! They told us how they left their great Jobs in US and started up in India with a CD-DVD rental firm, “Mad-House” which they later sold to “Seventy-mm” for a good deal! They told us inspirational stories of startups in India and abroad. Sameer took us into a world where there is no limitations and only freedom! Freedom to take decisions, to make strategies, to hire people! They actually owned us!
I don’t know what the bill was, but the best inspiration they gave us was by showing their credit card wallet! Fuck! There were around tens! And they all were shining! Glittering as if loaded with millions! I just fantasized of that day when I will be having the same! (I am sure aman was dreaming too!)
It was gladder to learn that they were going the same way, and that they offered us to drop by. Finally we signed off the meeting with high positivity. And that they made us the offer the next morning to start with Live-in kinda partnership, which needed us to work with them on our project for 15 days and then figure out if we can make a good team with them for investment! It was a fab moment and we were looking very positive to work with them for next 15 days! We knew we have made it!
We returned back home with high heels and those 100 minutes, were engraved into our lives forever and forever.
