It’s been a hectic 3 weeks. Our product was finally done, and we had to sell it. We’d created several sales leads over the course of last few months, and had to go around for scheduled meetings. And that’s what we did last week. Boy, the reaction from the market has been very encouraging. And that would be an understatement. Couple of our prospect customers liked the product very much, but suggested some additional cutting edge stuff to be added. Back in Mangalore, that’s what we are doing now. Putting our heads down, and back to work for the next 2 weeks. Meanwhile, here’s an account of our sales trip (forgive me for certain exaggerations, my humble but valiant attempt at humor)

So, we’ve to travel to Chennai. Tomorrow. We are all set with the demos, brochures, wires, nuts, bolts, and the almost fully squeezed out tube of tooth paste. But there’s one thing missing. Oh, yeah - we needed to travel to Chennai. As in, we needed to get our a** moved from Mangalore to Chennai. (more…)

Well, It’s difficult. The only other thing I found more difficult was to find a good (please note - it is bold, underlined, font 30) Flash programmer. (the only thing left for me to try is probably driving down to Bangalore and kidnapping one. Yeah, I am serious. If you are a good (again - bold, underlined, font 30) Flash programmer based in Mangalore, you know who to contact. ( I wont have a gun at your head, I promise).
Well, anyways, I thought it would be more worthwhile and a swell idea to put up a job board that is free, simple and targeted for Mangalore. Adding a free, simple classifieds for Mangalore would be double swell. Right? Well, I did it. You can find more details here.
Mangaloreans, Please use this. Remember the gun

Guess where i come from.
* Racism is scoffed upon, but I am happy that I was born fair
* Coke has pesticides, try local hooch instead
* We are cultured, but we don’t believe in ‘Q’ system
* Valentine’s Day corrupts our kids, lets have a hartal instead
* Our homes must be cleaned twice daily. Its ok if waste piles up in the neighbourhood.
* ‘Beauty is skin deep’ but beauty creams are among the fastest moving consumer goods in our society
* Dont let kids get hooked on to some cartoon channels, We parents will miss our Soaps
* We are against corruption, but we dont mind paying a li’l somethig to jump the Q
* Digging one’s nose is obnoxious, but doing so in private is ok
* Do not throw that used tissue on the road. Find a waste basket. Or do it when no one’s looking
* Cheerleaders should be fully clad. If we wanted skin show, we would watch a movie
