Butterflies in our stomach...

It has been a long drawn week - the last one, as well. We have been trying to get everything in place for the forthcoming US launch. Testing and finding issues were, at times, getting under our skin. Getting fixes ready, telling the world that we will be serving information about places of interest in the USA is just the tip of the iceberg. There are umpteen other stuff that I cannot recollect that has been going on. All to make sure everything goes well as per plan. When you are at the eye of the storm, all seems peaceful, life moves in super slowmo and you tend to feel that sense of calm, because all that you can look at when you lift the head is more things to do.

Now that we are almost ready and are cleaning up after what was madness, the madness is starting to take hold of us. The uncertainty of what will happen when US destinations become available on FmC, is killing. It is like the night before your kid goes out to school for the first time. You are thrilled at the fact that she has grown up to go to school. But at the same time, there are umpteen things going through your mind that can go wrong. You run over everything that was to be done one last time every few minutes and still cannot get those butterflies out of your stomach.

This is the feeling that you look back to, fondly, when you are way past this stage. These are the small things that make this journey what it is - Enthralling. I hope you like the US carrots we bring to you, as much as we like bringing them.
