Here is a short fun Q&A with her mostly related to personal side of her rather than the entrepreneurial side.
Q : While starting young did you ever plan for where you have reached today or did you even imagine it? (Like motivational speakers say that visualize what you want to be in future 😊)
A : Actually no,
I have let life happen to me, in fact, to tell you the truth I still don’t know
how people can answer what will they do five years from now etc. I have lived
in moments and max months etc. Though, have given everything to those moments.
Q : What worries
you more when you are alone ? except ghosts
A : Oh, ghosts do
worry me :-) losing my close ones, having experienced it once, i know its
reality, though I have still not been able to accept it, and probably will
never be.
Q : Given a
chance to go back in time, what age would you go back and what different you
would do?
A : My current
age, I have totally, madly loved all the ages I have lived in. Childhood and
growing up years were tough, but I wouldn’t be me if it was not for those
years. No turning back :-)
Q : What is the
best compliment you have got from anyone for your work?
A : That I am
very perceptive and kind in most difficult situations, can see compassionately
even people who are trying hard to sabotage me :-) And it may be hard to
believe, but this has helped me professionally.
Q : Have you ever
received any awkward comment for work? what was that ?
A : oh, all the
time, mostly, she doesn’t have what it takes to get there :-) or I am too
emotional, too clumsy, too stupid, too money minded, too clever, too shrewd..
its endless…. blah blah blah, honestly, it hurts a lot less now.
Q : One thing you
want to tell that no one knows about you yet?
A : I am a
romantic through and through :-) believe
in magic and love
Q : Funniest
Startup story you have heard of?
A : So many, in
fact, let me narrate you a story that happened to me many a years back, like
initial years of YourStory, I interviewed this amazing, driven, young entrepreneur on the phone and towards the end
of the call I told him, please send me the best photograph of yours. And lo and
behold, he sends me his marriage photo while he is sitting in the shaadi
mandap, holding his bride's hand :-) and the other one was him climbing on the
tree and posing. Even writing about it makes me laugh.. still..after so many
years. What an adorable memory. And between I am still in touch with him.
Q : Are Facebook
and twitter blocked for personal use in Yourstory during office hrs ? 😊
A : hahahaaa, of
course not.
Q : Put yourself
in shoes of an employee of YourStory, what would be that one thing that you
want to change in your boss?
A : Haahahaa, so
so so many things, one would be to have more time to interact with each and
everyone. To spend quality time together. To be less emotional.
Q : You get offer
to exchange YourStory for something? What it would be for?
A : NOTHING. YS
is the magic that I live everyday.
Q : What is one
thing you hate most about your job ?
A : Time
management, I suck big time at it. Sometimes, I want to run away to a jungle
and sleep for hours and hours in the nature.
Q : Why did you
agree to give this Q&A interview? 😊
A : Because, I
like you and you have “still” not given up on me.
Q : Any one question that you want to ask yourself ? and also answer too ? 😊
A : What is my
state of mind most times?
Hopeful !
