Startup jobs added to the site
After suggestions from several folks, I finally got a chance to add a startup jobs section to the site. You can access it from the main navigation from any page or you can access it from www.startupdunia.com/jobs . No registration, no hassles and complete FREE !!
Thanks to the folks behind Jobberbase for such a great open source job board.
If anything doesnt work as expected, please drop me a line at contact@startupdunia.com

Back to some regular (hopefully) blogging
I know posting has been pretty darn erratic lately. Probably I was suffering from the blogger’s burnout, because even when I had the time and opportunity to post, I kept avoiding it. For whatever reason, I just didnt feel like writing. Blogging is stressful and I realized that I need to de-stress and rejuvenate myself. Its been almost 6 months since I took a decent, relaxing vacation.
Finally, this last weekend, I was able to get a somewhat relaxing vacation and time away from work, blogging, and everything related to it.
Hopefully I was able to revitalize myself and recharge my batteries. Should be getting back to regular blogging shortly.

The trend for stupid April Fool pranks continues into 2008
Having read some of the stupid April Fool jokes floating around since yesterday and day before, I cant help but wonder – am I the only one who finds them getting progressively lousy each passing year ?
With the proliferation of the blogosphere, its become incredibly easy to float a wild rumor and pass it on as your big, ingenuity laden April fool’s prank.
I dont know about others, but I’m laughing no more. Yawn …..

Back home
I’m back from my India vacation. Its been an amazing trip – personally got a chance to talk to several current and aspiring entrepreneurs and tech enthusiasts. Apologies to those who dropped in a note to meetup and I couldnt follow through – apart from keeping an insane schedule, I often had little to no Internet access.
Every India trip unfolds a new story – from new malls to retail chains to cars and traffic. As and when I get time, I shall share some of my experiences and observations – both from the tech world and the society in general.
For now, back to my battle with jet lag and fatigue – writing shall resume as soon as I get settled in.

Wish you a happy new year
Here’s wishing all of you a very happy new year.
2007 saw a lot of activity in the Indian startup, entrepreneurship, VC, mobile and broadband areas. Entrepreneurship is becoming sexy – thanks to events like Proto, Headstart and all the mainstream media coverage. Even though challenges remain, pieces of the ecosystem are slowly falling into place. Lets hope that we carry forward all the positive momentum from 2007 and hope for an even amazing 2008.
StartupDunia has seen its own share of ups and downs throughout 2007. While I’ve tried to post regularly, personal issues have required me to take a break from blogging a couple of times. Inspite of the bumpy ride, it has been an amazing year for the blog – readership and subscriber count are way up and I can hardly keep up with the inbox overload. More than all, I’ve made some amazing new contacts over the year. A big thanks to all of you for your support.
My goal for 2008 is threefold:
1) blog as regularly as possible 2) emphasize more on the quality of posts 3) keep providing the platform for startup and entrepreneurs
As always, your input and feedback is very valuable — so keep it coming.
Again – wish you a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2008. Stay safe and stay healthy !!
