Having Said That...
Be Your Own Career Counsellor
“My Father Was Not Against Startup, He Was Against Fantasy”
Situation
Vikram from a town near Mangaluru wanted to join his friend’s food delivery idea. The friend had energy, not a plan. Vikram’s father surprised him—he said, “Startup is fine. Show me customers, costs, and your role.” Friends said, “Why your dad is interrogating like police?” Vikram felt torn between being modern and being sensible.
Thought Bubble
Maybe adults are not anti-risk. Maybe they are anti-foolishness. But can I accept that without feeling small?
Having Said That…
He joined a job first. Built skills. Six months later, he helped the friend properly—pricing, operations, real basics. Startup still didn’t explode, but it became real. Vikram’s father’s doubt saved him from fantasy.
