The more I am trying to figure out ways to create buzz and approach the kind of people I want to’ target’ the better I am understanding that this is not easy for ‘just an individual ’ like me .Unless you have a proper network or may be a enough money and a smart team , these things are not easy . Ofcourse if I had a pot of ‘Amrit’ with me then people would come running to me on just hearing about it , alas I dont have that . But still , I believe that what I have to offer can have a major impact on our ‘internet habits’ but only if I can practically implement my marketing plan .
Now I wanted to get the views of some expert and experienced person who can find faults and help in optimizing everything . I wanted to send a mail to Alok sir but I also wanted to ensure it 100% that he reads it and not just read it but also reply to it . After all who knows if he takes interest ten percent problems will automatically solve but then he is an active supporter of entrepreneurship so he might be receiving many-many mails from people like me . I was desperate to find out a way to reach him and then i read this tweet .
I quickly found out what pro-bono means ‘free professional work done for public good ‘ I was super excited , for me it was a ‘signal from god’ that this is your opportunity , grab it if you can, I thought he must have tried very very hard to understand it but couldn’t so he tweeted like that , I took it like a contest that I had to win .
I read the article it talked about a lot of complicated physics stuff , I knew it was going to take me time to understand all this and there are other ‘contenders’ to beat I kept checking twitter if someone has replied yet or not . I read the article multiple times searched on net for almost the whole night and the next morning about 9 AM I was able to understand it enough to write a proper reply to his tweet and also my ‘demands ‘.
He was courteous enough to reply but I didn’t ‘feel ‘ like the winner of a ‘very prestigious contest’ there was something wrong I replied with the amount of hard work I did in writing that … there was no reply this time , I thought may be I should make it a bit interesting by adding some images and let him know again , but then i thought that he might block me if I irritate him too much so I decided to take a nap calm my self a bit and then ‘plan’ again .
When I woke up the situation was entirely different the excitement was gone , I saw a group of God’s with lavish robes ornaments and jeweled crowns sitting and laughing in my room , making fun of me then one of them said “you idiot that was just a joke he cracked he isnt aspiring to be a physist what a fool u are ” then another one said “and you also told him that you took 12 hrs to write it , He and Asha and everyone in their office are laughing at you ” . I asked them why did they not tell me all this before ?? They loudly laughed again and vanished. I remembered the interview scene from Fun with Dick and Jane and felt like being Dick Harper . So it turns out that there was no contest to be won I felt cheated by God but then the old saintly soul of the universe appeared and said dont worry there is a lesson in it for you .I replied this is what you say every time something goes wrong . He replied “and I am always right in the end” , I nodded in acknowledgement and he vanished.
Now it has been a couple of weeks since then , I realize it was a small thing nothing to worry about and he will hopefully read my mail and that too with a smile. I also realize that I take silly decisions when I am very excited, as I begin my entrepreneurial journey there will be a lot more anxious moments things might not work as expected so I realize that I should be able to foresee situations as much as practically possible keep alternate plans ready and have someone to fall back on when my intellect and logic and everything fails . And what I want to ask here is that what is the best way to go when you can’t decide what is right and what is wrong ?? Should I not take any action when I am in a super excited state ?? But then wont I lose opportunities ?? Hoping to get some celerity from the rodinhoods .
