New Delhi Times - Gaurav Bhatnagar reporting from New Delhi, India

OK People Aggregator survived for almost a day without going down. Trust me, that is a big deal for an application fresh off the kiln and suddenly getting used by hundreds of people at the same time. Then the phone rang at 6 in the morning. The site was down. Fortunately the team had a good handle on how to fix the issue. In the last one and a half year since we launched Ourmedia, we have gone thru a few releases. My big grouse at Microsoft used to be that we never seemed to ship anything (and what I was working on is still several months away from shipping!). So I always enjoy the end game of a product cycle. Its a race against time and Murphy's law seems to go into overdrive. In the end there is of course the feeling of satisfaction having created something that gets widely used. For the last one week, I have been working till almost 2 in the night and then starting the day early by 6 or 7. But I am so "in the zone" right now that I am thoroughly enjoying it. However, needless to say I am starting to get just a little bit exhausted. So if I have been unresponsive on email or not returned a few calls, please bear with me!
