first step...
So I sold 50% of my first company Byzantium Tech Ltd. last Friday and I am a very very happy man to have my first successful business sold :)These days I am just busy with transferring the accounts to the new owner and since I still own 50% of the company I still have responsibilities to maximize the profit of the company which is pretty cool stuff :)
Peace,
Krish

choose...
My buddy who is working on his start up 15hours every day told me today, "I either make 10 millions before age of 30 or I will become a robot like most others.."For few years I thought if I get my first 10 M at some point I will retire. But at this point I want to aim more than 10M ... I really do.. How? I don't know but I am taking baby steps... I know what's within me, even if you can't see it yet...

almost done...
Another term is coming to an end. I just did my second final exam a few hours ago and by looks of it I will only need to study a few more hours to pass this term finally.Honestly, was one of the easiest terms of my whole undergrad experience. As usual I am sitting at Williams all alone studying for my next exam...
God give me power for 5 more days and bam! I might not even want to do more school :(
Peace

Writing my first exam in a few hours.I have 4 more to go after that and they are all happening in less then 5 days.... At this point I feel like I am going to break down by exams as I literally did not study even once this term. But I am confident I can do this, I just need energy.
OK this is not good at alll! loll

pressure...
So why do I have to learn 4 months of material in 4 days? Why do I go to class and sleep and then night of the exam I spend hours and hours to figure things out on my own without profs help?Is it worth it? Am I doing it the right way?
NOOOO!

achievements...
I am not going to lose what I built in 20 years in one night. Accepting what adds the achievements and rejecting what takes all of them from you is one thing I have on top of my head.Peace

go getta...
Arite so exams are close by and I am in Toronto chilling for one last day and then going gettem exams. Pretty determined that I will pass this term also probably learned a lot more than past terms.Recently I've been watching people around me very closely. We humans are like programmed robots with the same behaviors. Well this is a long discussion so let's leave it alone...
As Chahal says "Success happens not by chance, but by the ability to not makes excuses from circumstance."

future...
I can't stop thinking about what's next. What is the next bubble? What is the next thing that makes the next billionaire. OK I am not saying I want to become a billionaire (the chances are slim just because of my social capital background). But wouldn't it be cool if we knew what to touch?Ah, well as I heard from somewhere "you guys are the next ones" so I guess we should just try to make the next bubble :)

exams...
So again another term starts... Why now? Because it's exams time. I normally do not feel the term till I get into exam time and I have extreme pressure for a few weeks and bam I am all good again.I need luck. Well I guess not luck, I just need time and motivation to study which both are so hard to find :D

final design project....
Today I was at the design project show at my university. I should say I am very disappointed in the upper years.I was expecting a lot more from these people graduating from toppest school in Canada doing the toppest degree :(
Ah well too bad. Maybe I am in the wrong university doing the wrong thing at the wrong time. Meh... I just don't want to be like any of those guys when I graduate.

Formula....
I was just thinking about what if tomorrow I wake up and I lose all the projects and everything that I have gathered through the past 5 years.It would really suck. But I met Zoran, CEO of nLeap and he told me that once you find the formula even if they take everything away from you, you can still stand up and bounce higher the next time.
So let's hope I do not lose anything in the future :P but even if I do I think I have found the proven formula :)

Winning...
For a very long time I thought winning is winning relative to someone. Relative to a competition that you have. Today I realized winning is when at the end of the day you can tell youself:Today, again, I did my very best. Today, again, I have no regrets. Today, again, I won.

Priceless moments...
Do not know how to explain the feeling of sitting down ALL alone in Williams and think about life.Think about good things and bad things. The choices I have made and the choices I will make in so not far away or long term goals.
Did I grow up too fast? Did I lose my balance? Am I fighting a battle that will not stop? Am I lost in an infinite loop that others talk about?

Feeling stronger...
There are days that you feel you've made mistakes. Those days are hard days when you wish things could have been different.But I started to believe that everything happens for best. Events that happen, people that change in your life, and things you do all have meanings.
As my dad said there is no wrong way of doing things. You choose HOW you do it, and that is what you define of yourself.
I've learned to respect myself highly. Choose the people I like, I don't like.
One person said Do not change for anybody. But I am willing to change for people I LOVE. I am willing to change for things I LOVE to do. I am willing to change for the life that I LOVE to live!
Peace

Slowly but surely getting to the place. That's what matters!

Ahhh cannot work!
It's 2:39 in the morning. I was reading some notes from Dave Ramsy. He is one of the most amazing guys in the world.He said the value of you of $1 is $7 in 20 years. So is your time. Basically one hour today worths 7 hours in 20 years.
Isn't that sooooooo awesome? I think it is. This means the websites I own today worth 7 times as much in 20 years hahahha.
OK! Enough excitement.
Peace,
Krish

Imagination
"Imagination is more important than knowledge"I am sitting in Williams Coffee Shop and writing about another day. For some reason I slept 15 hours/day this past 3 days. FML
But on the good side my traffic for my sites have increased by 70% over the past week which might be the reason why I sleep too much because it is just like a dream.
I've met some cool people this term. It is so funny how the success is measured by how much money one makes. I am fully against that I think success is when you are better than what you were last year, and happy about what you have achieved.
For now, PEACEEEEE!

Process
Ah... Just did two tests in my 3A term. I still can't believe I am actually still in school. But I guess I am being a good son for my parents.I am working on my projects full-time while I am doing school. Well I don't think I am really doing school. Just that "barely pass" thing.
I have more than 15 ideas written down on paper. And I am working on 4 open ones right now. The next on is about evaluating price of a website depending different variables such as alexa, google rank, etc.
All the best to you and myself :)

1/13/2011
Sometimes the numbers are not what you want to see.Sometimes the letters are not what you want to see.
Sometimes you see what you do not want to see. And sometimes you see what you totally did not expect. Sometimes in a good way sometimes in a bad way.
Today was a rough day for me. I have to change a lot of plans in my life. I have to pick the right choice and be logical about my choices. Emotional choices will always hurt you and tear you down to pieces.
I will be strong, I will not give in.
Maybe next life!

Mistakes
Well, 2010 is coming to an end. I think I did my first move in this year. Every single step of the way was right except one step.We make mistakes but we should never look back at what has passed. If there is a way to make a change and fix it, do it. However, if you did it and it's done, well then move on.
I am going through a hard time to pass through the biggest mistake of my life in the most successful year of my life. But I still think that mistake has happened for good. My very best friend always used to say, "It shall pass."

Simon, CEO of Snipia.com
So today I met Simon, CEO of Snipia.comHe is Master student from Waterloo University. He started his start ups in high school and now he is running two successful businesses.
Things I learned:
1- Hang out with people who have the same passion that you have
2- Do not let school to stop you from your dreams
3- just do it... do it now!

5 million!
Apperantly, 5 milli is a magic number that if I hit it, I won't need to ever work again. I will have the whole time in the world to start my own business and all.I am really annoyed nowadays when I go to school. I can't concentrate on my school work.
But soon! I will be focused :)

Do something! Do anything!
The key to my success so far in my life was only because I started my own things. I never asked for help and I did it myself as a leader.
Right now I have a business partner, however, I am still planning on doing my own things. One brain always works better than two, or more!

Dreams
So! Today is another day that I think I am not so productive. I have an interview with CBET where I have to talk about my future business goals with them so they approve my application to start my company.Most likely I will have an office in Toronto. Two people trying our best to get this company somewhere! I always had a dream that I will get to this point and this point is just a beginning.
Byzantium Tech Ltd. is my next hope to make my dreams come true. So fingers crossed. Imma go back to study!

Aim high and hit!
So! Today I was at Facebook's conference. I should somehow appreciate the impact that FB has had on my life. However, I was looking at everybody sitting and thinking "OMG this will be awesome working for FB" and I was thinking:"It will be awesome how the CEO of FB did it!"

2B Term
So! I started another term at Waterloo University. However, this term will be the most different term of my life and will continue like this. I finally found my dream.
This term I am actually planning to study. I never studied anything during my university life! Now is time to start! To study LOL!

ThisVsThatReview.com
So! Just 5 minutes ago I registered this amazing domain. The whole point is this:We all know how much the review websites make nowadays! Like cnet or all those other scammers that just get paid directly from the advertiser company to have a nice review about their product. So now here I've came to conclusion to make a website that actually compares the two (or more) products and give the customer a good idea of what they exactly want to buy.
Well obviously I will be running ads all over the page or even in the future get the companies to pay me for becoming affiliated with ThisVsThatReview.com.
I've never been this confident about success of a website right after buying its domain. So I will start tonight and I guess I will be doing it all alone since my genius buddy rejected to work with me since "he is pretty busy".
Peace,
Krishna

gWallet
K! So yesterday I switched my virtual currency system from Offerpal to gWallet which is supposed to be much better than Offerpal!The past 12 hours performance was very poor and I don't think I would continue using them even though they've been very nice with me to switch over to them.
However, this is business and obviously I'd go with the system that pays me more.
