Business

Its 4.01am and I have a basketball meeting with my friends later.
So, what am I doing awake so early in the morning?

An idea. I had an idea, but it only works in an ideal world.
I thought about it a year back during one of those sleepless nights.
I must have been hungry, so my thought gravitated towards UTAR's horrible cafeteria food.
I thought about how terrible the food was and yet they charge us too much.
I wondered if something could be done, that was when the idea struck me.
In an ideal world, where trust is a currency my plan would have worked.

Tonight I revisited the idea.

The biggest weakness in my plan was still there. Its extremely glaring; the plan will be too chaotic since the customer can wipe us out of business on day 1.

Looking back, making money from others just isn't a part of me.

I remember when I was young, I asked my dad if I could promote my prized Bata school shoes.
I had just washed them and they were spectacularly white.
I wanted to do an advert for free.
My dad had told me that nothing is free.

More than a decade later and the idea was not much different from when I was younger.
Too idealistic.
