Today was supposed to be a busy day. And it turned out to be exhausting! Was supposed to meet multiple vendors, to get our staff uniforms in place, while simultaneously building consensus on the equipment list, and doing interviews with key nurses and a doctor. EXHAUSTING!
There was one fun part - meeting this vendor who makes freebies for companies. She kept trying to convince us to give away these doctor dolls, which come with stethescopes, and was emphatic about us having our email address across the doll's waist! Phew!
Just not feeling too well either... so was very tired by the time I got home. But a superly productive day, all said and done. Hopefully we have some great nurses and doctors joining us, and have finalised our list. Once and for all. May do my first business trip, to Indore on Monday - haha! Who would have thought!
I have worked every Sat since I got here, except when I travelled out of Mumbai. And it gets to me some times. But somehow, it seems some work can always be done only on Saturdays!
Hopefully, I will go figure out dance classes tomorrow, before work begins. Have to admit, the evenings are a little lonely, cos working at a start-up doesnt make you feel like chilling out after work is part of the routine. I am going to have to figure out how to do this!

14 Jul 2011
It is the morning after the blasts. We have cancelled our morning meetings, because we're not quite sure what the roads are going to look like. I cannot help but notice I am back in work mode, and already thinking about the several things we need to do. But this is not resilience - this is the first time I have been in Mumbai during a series of blasts, and I can tell you now - it's never been about resilience. It's about helplessness. Majboori, as Anupam Kher rightly said. You cannot survive in Mumbai if you don't earn every day. And that is the sad truth.
And you cannot possibly fight terrorism by sitting home and watching insane TV anyways.
Moving on, on a positive note, we saw the first renders of how our clinics could look from the inside, today. And it was exciting. It's all coming alive now - and that is so exciting! Puts an extra wind beneath the wings to trudge along. Yay!
The rest of the evening is about editing brochures and preparing collateral. We'll get there... slowly but surely!
