The great businessman

What can you do when you are sitting alone and idle in your room with an internet connection and you have already lost your interest in chatting or you don't have the energy to peep into the girls' profiles in Orkut or Facebook?Life is always boring when you don't have your friends or family around you.

 All of a sudden a window popped up in my head saying "Do you remember you own a blog ? you can visit that place.It's long time since you visited it last".

I visited my blog.It was a free eBook downloading blog.I don't know how much bibliophile I was but I used to love that task once.People used to request for free eBooks and I used to upload them.

The time was really good in the beginning.Persons were praising me initially,but gradually when the time came for maintaining the blog,things started getting more complex and tougher.Trust me It requires hell lot of energy to manage this blogs.

Fulfilling eBook requirement of people,scanning eBooks,creating pdfs ,required a lot of effort,but a hope was there,that I may get a good revenue from my blog.It was a great idea.People will download ebooks,I will become rich. Wow!!

But probably I was in the 5 th level dream of Inception,after a month of creating the blog I checked my ziddu account,after thousand downloads it was showing 1$.I almost had a cardiac arrest.Probably I had created an unbreakable world record of becoming lowest revenued business man,because I had lost 18$ in Internet connection,5$ in Electricity bill and 30 person-days effort.

I happily denied the next month Internet recharge.

Now after six months the ultimate incident happened today.I went to office in morning shift.My client is an Australian airways company.Now a days they are very very busy in saving the daylight.For that reason my clients wake up early and start working at 9 AM but there clocks shows 8 AM.

I had signed some agreement with my company so while working in morning shift I need to 
  • jump out of my bed at 5AM IST
  • rush to the bathroom taking my dirty towel(My landlord wont let us use washing machine,because according to him its wastage of water and electric).
  • Spend 15 minutes in the purest place of earth.
  • rush to wear my formal dress.
Somehow I managed to reach the office in Time.The day was fine.Workpressure was normal.Alas!! everyone will comeup with issues when you are about to leave,specially when you have a plan to spend some quality time with any of your friend.

The plan got cancelled.I came back to my place.Sweating and half - baked.The scorching heat of Chennai had extracted every ounce of energy from my body.I went for a bath.
The tap surrendered.A single drop of water was not there.The private lorries which supplies water,had taken off today.That means,no one can take a bath tonight.

I came back in my room.I sat with my laptop on my bed.The idea to open my blog came to my mind.


The Chatbox that I had embedded in the blog was showing something,that reminded me of my loss.The loss was yet not over.After six months maximum of the eBook download links were not in working stage,that helped my fans to became my foes.Slangs were overflowing the Chatbox.

Finally I decided to give up.I deleted all the eBooks and posts.The 30 person-days efforts were gone within 30 clicks.
The loss I had caused to the authors by putting their eBooks for free,turned out to be a loss of mine.


I decided,now onwards I will only write.No other business.No other attempts,atleast in Blogger.
