How did it all start?

It was all Nikhil’s idea of starting this firm. One night he called me and said, “Dude, can you come down to my office tomorrow? I wanna talk to you about the firm”. Earlier that night he had mailed me saying that he’d like to start a firm and wanted me to partner with him. Without any hesitations I said “Yes!”

I headed to Nikhil’s office the next day and he explained to me everything. I WAS HELL EXCITED!!!! We registered the domain on April 4th, 2009 and started with our work. Thanks to Nikhil, he got Darkwater a pretty good number of clients and we did have a blast. Work pressure was increasing as clients were flowing in.  But, we somehow managed it. The best part is, Darkwater had its first international client and we were damn happy about that.

After so much of progress in no time, we had planned to launch Darkwater Digital on June 1st 2009. But, due to some unavoidable conditions we had to drop it or rather reschedule it for today. (Again, Nikhil sent me a surprise SMS saying that, “Dude, Darkwater Digital is officially launched today!”)

Phew! That was so much. Never have I been so happy and excited and have written such a big post

Anyways, heres a list of things that I wanna do before I turn 22. Then, I call it achievement.

1. Write GRE, go abroad for higher studies, work there for a year and come back to India.
2. Want to experience life, staying alone. (You learn a lot of things when you stay alone)
3. Create a music library (room) containing all my favorite collections equipped with some cool gadgets.
4. Go Trekking, Scuba dive, Skydive and Bungee jump.
5. Have another official meeting with a client. I was very nervous for the first time.
6. Bring greater progress to Darkwater (Wondering what this is? No worries. You’ll know it soon ).
7. Get aggregate of 75% above in my BCA course.
8. Rain dance! (Though I don’t really know to dance, but I badly want to do )
9. Visit Coorg, Ooty, Mangalore, Goa and Munnar WITH friends.
10. PaitnBall again!

12. Improve my English vocabulary. (I want to learn new and different words)
13. Form a music band in college.
14. Buy a laptop and a DSLR!
15. Add even more crazier stuffs to this list.
16. Plan and have a fresh new list after I’m 22 years young

On a side note, its my great pleasure to introduce to you a  new holiday destination- “Ammadi Holiday Home” located in Koppa, Chickmagalur district. Its owned by my friend, Chaitra and her husband Ashwin.

Ammadi is an ideal place for a memorable holiday. It has one of the biggest Chouki (Thotti mane) in the near by locality. A holiday at Ammadi home stay will definitely be a memorable one, which you will cherish for a very long time. Must plan for a trip there once
