Building for Bharat ...ย โ€ขย 1m

Hey founders, I know failure stingsโ€”itโ€™s supposed to. That pit in your stomach, the doubt creeping in, the voice whispering "Maybe Iโ€™m not cut out for this"โ€”Iโ€™ve been there too. But hereโ€™s the truth: failure isnโ€™t a dead end, itโ€™s a detour. Think of it like learning to ride a bike. The first time you fell, it hurt. Maybe you even scraped your knee. But you didnโ€™t quitโ€”you got back on, adjusted your balance, and eventually, you were flying. Take Airbnb as an example. Before they became a $100B company, they were selling cereal (yes, cereal) to keep the lights on after their initial idea flopped. If they had given up then, they wouldnโ€™t have changed travel forever. So if your first (or fifth) attempt didnโ€™t work, thatโ€™s okay. Youโ€™re not failingโ€”youโ€™re collecting data. Every โ€˜no,โ€™ every closed door, every setback is just feedback. The only real failure is quitting. So dust yourself off, tweak your approach, and go again. The world needs your grit, your ideas, and your stubborn belief that "this time" might just be the one. Keep going.

โ€œA Cigarette With Dadโ€ isnโ€™t just a book. Itโ€™s a balcony, a conversation, and a feeling you didnโ€™t know you were missing. For every moment we bottled up, and every word left unsaid between a father and son... this book lets it out. Itโ€™s not fiction.
