Ventures
Well, things are not moving as fast as I would want them to – in the context of my venture. We do have one contract which we can start right away, but that is a very small one for us to even cover our costs. So, we are still waiting for the bigger order to come our way. I really pushed Murthy to get us a meeting appointment with the facility people in this bigger company. Finally, scheduled for early next week.

In the meanwhile, I’m trying to find some wholesale suppliers who can sell us organic produce. Got some replies to my query on LinkedIn through the TIE group, hoping to be able to talk to a couple of these producers soon.

Joomla is going pretty o.k. Have been able to figure out the basics and am trying to figure out the exact things which I need to implement for my idea. Pinaki thought that this idea might not go down very well in India, but maybe I’ll modify it a bit and then launch it. Also, I was able to embed my Google My Maps into the front page. Have to create my own template which I can use. This will mean I’ll have to learn either Gimp or Photoshop, not from scratch but still a lot.

Personal
Have started jogging in the morning. KBR national park is very close to my home and I realised a very nice place too. Ran about 3km today, total was 3.6 odd km but I had to walk for the remaining distance. Got plenty of body aches but that should be because I just started.

Have to look for temporary-part-time employment soon. Am looking to home tutor kids near my place. Jubilee hills being an expensive place, am hoping I can make decent amount of money without spending too much time. Can’t post ads in nearby supermarkets, so posted on Craigslist. I don’t know if anybody even looks at this site in India, maybe I’ll post ads on Hyderabadi classifieds as well. Asked a language coaching center if they had any jobs, but no luck there. I’ll also ask Charush to send me the links to the online coaching websites.
