And we're back in the game!! ...

Umm .. dunno where to start. For those of you following us regularly, it must have come as a surprise that there wasn't any activity for the last 16 days.

Well guys, thats what happens in startups. One minute you think life couldn't be better and the next something hits you .. **BANG** .. and you are running around like a maniac! .. or like a gnome as the case may be ..

To cut a long story short, one of our investors suffered adverse conditions in her business. Given that, it is dicey whether she will be able to fund our venture or not. Over the last 15 days we've been gnoming around .. looking for someone gnome enough to invest in us.

Things are looking up .. most people we have met seem to think quite highly of our work and hopefully our investment requirements should be met quite soon ..

Coming to the important stuff .. the highlight of the last 15 days has got to be our encounter with a mobile snatcher in Noida!!

Scene: Mr. Navneet Rai is talking away on his hep 15K Samsung cell phone (ekdum matrix types). This non descript ragged man runs in at top speed, snatches our man's cell and runs off!

**Lights .. Camera .. Action**

Navneet is stunned for a few moments .. and then runs in pursuit .. shouting out obscenities i can't risk mentioning here .. Kaku on his heels .. and Kashyap right behind them ..

The chase goes on .. and guess what .. the entire barage runs by the police chowki .. Kaku yelling at the top of his voice "Kutte .. mein tujhe goli maar dungaa" .. and Navneet .. umm .. sorry, that part is still censored ..

Now all this racket gets our pandu hawaldar all aroused .. two of them ride behind us on their enfield mobike .. Kashyap, right in front by now, yelling at them to catch the theif .. Kaku yelling at them to catch the theif and not Kashyap by mistake ..

The road takes an L turn .. the bike zips ahead and blocks the ruffians path .. and guess what .. he runs right back towards us ..

Aaha .. and our man Kashyap .. packs in the first full filmy style punch of his life onto the ragged mans chin .. **DHISHOOM** .. and the man goes down .. Navneet's cell flying on to the pavement .. Kaku races up and starts kicking the theif ..

Guess what .. our pandu hawaldar comes in and gives a nice hard fatka to our "heroes" .. Kashy and Kaku .. apparently the dude was worried about the theif incurring injuries from our beating .. anyway, let that be ..

Well, this happened on the 9th .. today is the 16th .. and where is the cell phone? .. sitting at the police station as evidence for the case against the theif .. Navneet bhai has had to pay some lawyer a 1000 bucks to file his application for the cell .. he has had to visit the court thrice .. has heard rebukes from the police over writing applications .. :) .. kind of reminds me of the movie "Jaane bhi do yaaron" ..

Heres to seeing a lot more activity on this blog from here on .. and yes, will post some pics of the Navneet Rai Cellphone Saga ..
