One of the hard lessons that I have learned this year is “Always

remember Carpe Diem“. The

corollary is that “If you don’t execute on your idea quick, someone

else definitely will.”

For example, long back Vikram had this

idea that there should be a company which takes care of odd chores

such as electrical maintenance or plumbing, basically handyman work.

Yesterday, I saw www.handiman.in on the back

of an auto rickshaw. I came home and checked it out and it does

exactly that. It’s a very useful

service and seems

reasonably

affordable, at

least for IT people. I’m sure lot of people in Bangalore will go for

it.

Today, Mrinal

pointed

to www.indimeme.com,

a TechMeme for the Indian blogosphere.

I started kicking myself.
