Oct28th 2010 was the day when I decided to take the plunge into an unchartered territory, a territory which was directed more by the heart than the head - an Entrepreneurial Journey.
I took the early morning train to Jaipur, the inter city to Ajmer which was now extended to Jaipur, to start my journey as a Blue Carameler. Shinod, Himanshu and Sujit were already there at our new office cum residence at the 206, Golden Sunrise Apt, C-Scheme. Our first 2 recruits in Jaipur were also there, Priyanka and Rajni and so was a Scooty, whose constant break down was a reason enough for Rajni to leave soon afterwards. We were all very excited to embark on a business voyage into a new field, as partners of www.mydestinationinfo.com (as www.mydestination.com was known at that time). And work began on www.myrajasthaninfo.com, our very first travel information site in India.
Gosh, the 1BHK flat was a very cozy office cum accommodation. The Hall was converted into an office, the Bedroom was our resting area and off course the Kitchen satiated our gastronomical demands, though more often than none, the items were outsourced from the canteen of the Rajdhani Hospital or the Doors Restaurant near Raj Mandir Cinema. The most precious area of 206 was the balcony adjoining the bedroom, which opened into a bungalow with ample gardens and trees on which you could find a variety of birds. These birds, infact, were our morning alarm clocks as their screeches, though deafening, were refreshing, as they gave you a feeling of being in the wilderness.
We spent most of our time in the Hall- Our Office, gathering information for the site, uploading it, scanning for photographs and again uploading it. This continued day in and day out, even when the 3 musketeers, Arunabh, Shinod & Himanshu returned back to Udaipur, till the site was officially launched on 24th November2010. The Journey had indeed begun!!!!
