New Beginnings

Sandeep has started a startup company in partnership with four more other people in the UK. He wants to utilize my skills and has asked me to register a company in India which they will be able to outsource the work they undertake in the UK. I will have to register a company in my name once I am in India.

He asked me to find a name for the company. But that is an easy task for me. I have once promised someone to start a company in her name. She wanted to start a school/college/university. School itself will take a lot of investment. So I promised that we will together start a software company in her name. But, now she is not there. So I need to start it alone.

I told Sandeep the name and he laughed.

Sandeep: Why Manu? What will it take you to forget her? I was the one who advised you to keep trying. You even took a new UK number and pinged her in WhatsApp, like I asked. But her answer was clear. Why do you want to torture yourself? She doesn't deserve your love. If you name your company that, you will never be able to change it.

Honestly, I don't care. It's another promise fulfilment for me, even if she didn't fulfil even one promise. Finally, he agreed.

I can't keep her name as it is. It will be too obvious if someone hears the name. So, I will change the second and third letter. Plausible deniability.

Peace.
