Startups Graveyard

Hari ‘this is going to be a disaster.. Investments not coming in.. let us close the startup’

Nancy ‘common.. not 1 more still in graveyard’

Hari ‘I think the biggest mistake we did was to not evolve a paying model during boot strap itself’

Nancy ‘every year so many startups shutting down,.. and with it the numerous dreams buried with it’

Hari ‘Not sure.. again will begin searching job’

Nancy ‘hey..you are an entrepreneur right.. startup something again… didn’t you know that even after a person expires, it will reborn again.. so just step up.. do not get worried about the graveyard

 

 

Love seeks only one answer

Love seeks only one answer ‘yes I love you too’

Why is this conditional expectations seeped into mind by heart..

Julie wonders over this.. ponders over this

and arrives at conclusion that James should say ‘YES’ because she offered him job,

she offered him a good post.. and above all she offered him her heart..

James ‘you have not bought me?’

Julie is silent with a drop of tears in her eyes

James ‘at times a professional gets coaxed into joining a company on an assumption that the person could be prospective life partner but alas’

Julie ‘I was amazed by your work.. didn’t have a cofounder so offered you some equity.. and then love happened.. not my fault.. you too were loving and caring.. and those shared lunches and dinners’

James ‘you always knew I had a fiancee’

Julie is silent

Julie ‘help me solve my problem’

James ‘nothing much.. let us have professional relation.. am getting engaged next week’

Julie rushes and hugs James and plants a kiss on his lips

James ‘hey ..sorry.. I don’t like this’

Julie ‘help me out.. tell me a solution.. do not mind you being with her too and me too’

James ‘enough.. am putting my resignation paper’

James is gone…

Julie wakes up with a start…

Julie ‘will he really go ahead with his fiancee?’

Next morning… she gets a call

‘Sorry to inform.. James has committed suicide.. was harassed by his girl friend who always doubted him for an affair.. She wished him to be with her forever and it seems he wanted to get into serious relation with you.. Am his mother..’

His mother bursts into tears..

Julie keeps the phone down and rushes to James’home

James is smiling peacefully as he has departed.. with a message loud and clear in his mind

Only Julie can feel those words

‘Never become too demanding in love..which will destroy not only you but also lead to permanent uneasiness for your partner.. give space dear.. all will go well… Next life.. not sure.. will it be commitment phobic reborn entity or will I be a compulsive flirt.. god knows what.. happy wishes to you.. do remember to transfer my equity to my mother’s name.. hope you do that’

Julie leaves James home with a sad silence..
