Sharing some thoughts on the current situation in India.
First some positives
- Despite all the shortages - Testing, Oxygen, Hospital Beds, Remdesevir, you name it - the medical system in the big cities is really trying its best & its humbling to see! Deep respect & gratitude!

It does appear that those with the vaccine are largely able to fight off even this new strain - my friend's dad in his 90's seems to have recovered after having taken 1 shot - so reason to be optimistic

This pandemic has brought out some bad behaviour - but most importantly the best behaviour and must help empathy of so many people. The last time around it was "someone else's" problem - this time it's OUR problem.

One can never appreciate the pain many are going through from the outside - but for those wondering and running scared, please don't.
Frame of mind - POSITIVE
COVID Test result - NEGATIVE
...has got to be the mantra!

For (tech) entrepreneurs - one month of business loss is not going to make a difference - sick colleagues and family members will. Speak to your investors and board members and make a strategic decision - not a time for bravado & seizing the moment with unnecessary risks!

Instead focus on sharpening your tools, redo your sculpture cleverly - try & digitize anything repetitive that isn't yet. Look to restructure business agreements. Look to sharpen skills for team members. Step back and rethink the business & be ready to accelerate even faster

Last but not least, spend some quality time for yourself, your family and encourage team members to do the same.

Bake in the unexpected "start and stop" into your business plan - this is probably going to happen more often than we would like to believe - but if you plan for it in advance and make it a part of your Modus Operandi, it can be very simplifying to your mental health.

Bottom line - it's a tough time, but it's also reality - the sooner we accept it, the easier it will be to cope with it.
Things will surely get better over time, but do hunker down & plan for a few tough months - this will not get resolved overnight.
