I salute the Tatas, Birlas and Ambanis

I titled the post this way because I really do salute them.. I am an electrical engineer working in one of the big MNCs in bangalore. I wanted to do some farming and own a small cafe of my own for a long time. I decided I couldn't risk quitting my job (which I love as well) and start my farming or opening my cafe etc, though I did have some ideas on what I wanted to grow in my farm, what will be the menu in my cafe etc. So, I started out by buying a small piece of land and growing different plants and in a corner of the same site I opened a cafe as well. I am learning lots of new stuff in farming and bought a tractor and another machine for planting the seeds. And in my cafe I am learning how the way you arrange your table and chairs itself affects the efficiency of your staff. I work on my farm on my off days. And also on the cafe on saturdays and sundays. My sister and my friend help out in the cafe since they are interested as well. One thing is for sure it does help break the monotony from regular work. But both farming and operating a cafe are tough tasks. If you go for harvesting the crops a little later then they get wasted, and if you have too many people waiting in the cafe then they will lose interest and go away.

If I am having so much difficulty maintaining a regular job and doing some part-time farming and maintaining cafe... I can imagine how difficult it will be for the Tatas, Birlas and Ambanis. For this I have to salute them for doing what they do day in and day out and doing it so efficiently.

I am glad I am not answerable to any shareholders like them since whatever I do is in a site called Facebook :).. This is for all those who are struggling to maintain more than a few things on the website :p
