My Husband Made Me a Prostitute

EMOTIONAL BLACKOUT

I happened to see this video a few minutes ago and the impact it made on me was intense and deeper. Such a powerful message conveyed in a simpler but in the most powerful manner ever. I recommend you to watch this 3-minute video:

You wont know the deeper meaning or inner aspects of this until you truly have that 'Very special person' in your life. The feelings of love, caring, sharing and mostly that 'Depended' feeling. Let it be grandparents, parents, your relatives, friends, cousins, girlfriends, boyfriends, your life partner, children, neighbors, peer groups or anyone. But I'm very sure you would be bound with anyone or anything in this world which marks the special reason for your existence.

One bad decision will leave you nowhere. It’s not just an individual who suffers when you drink and drive, but along with him, his loved ones suffer more and die every day. Why is it that when we know something is wrong, we still we go ahead and do it?

Every form of refuge has its price. While you shelter yourself under flowing veil of cheap or expensive alcohol, you aren't the only one paying its price. Your family, your children, your friends or probably an unknown stranger driving home to his son’s birthday could be the one paying its price.

On the other side, there are haters who opposes the video with their pity thoughts that Indian women don't have to work as a prostitute if her husband is met with an accident. Rather than criticizing, try to get the good aspects and message of the video. This is not really a Women-empowerment video in any sense.

The short film finishes with the message: "It’s your family who’ll pay the price. Don’t drink and drive."

Let us appreciate  Indian charity Mission Sharing Knowledge. and director Pankaj Thakur who conveyed the powerful message in the most simpler manner.

Every single injury and death caused by drunk driving is totally preventable. Although the proportion of crashes that are alcohol-related has dropped dramatically in recent decades, there are still far too many such preventable accidents. Unfortunately, in spite of great progress, alcohol-impaired driving remains a serious national problem that tragically effects many victims annually.

It's easy to forget that dry statistics represent real people and real lives. Therefore, I dedicate this moment to all those closed ones who are still bearing the aftermaths of 'Drinking and Driving'.

A special note

With atmost emotional imbalance, I'm writing this blog. Its actually a mixture of emotions and feelings that I'm experiencing now. A 'NEW' office from pure 'Scratch'.

There were many instances where I could see nothing forward other than pure blankness. Tears rolled out even at clients doorsteps and roadsides, but we never gave up. The emotions, tortures, teases from friends, relatives in one way or the other motivated us rather than putting us down. There were many reminiscent moments which I can sadly remember. Of course, do I remember many sympathetic faces and smiles having the hidden feeling that I took the wrong path.

From Google searches from Inspirational Quotes, Branding quotes, and Success quotes , I slowly could see the emotional drift of putting myself in low pace searching Failure quotes, and depressed quotes. Again, there was a pain inside us. We were not ready to give up at any cost. Things were not at all easy but the spark was still there and it made us go.

In the competitive world of advertisement, it was really hard for us to survive especially when being a young woman entrepreneur. Clients and managers were not ready to take risks upon us because we got the usual excuses that they deal with ad agencies of 10 years and above. The point what we tried to understand or persuade ourselves is that it needs time to gain experience and years of excellence. We started believing in "Waiting for that moment".

We were ready to kickstart our works with meager amounts but only on the grounds that we deliver best and quality services adhering to deadlines. And that indeed paved us a way.We started to get small-small works and gradually see transformation. Memebres grew, clients grew, business expansions, investor plans, meetings, mentoring, opportunities, recognitions everything just fell for us.

It took us one years time to land in safely. Starting out with just two laptops and dongle, Anabytes grew and is still growing beyond boundaries. All we had was just a few branding thoughts, a flair to write and a mind of keen observation. When I was resigning my job in Chennai, I never had the re-thought that things would be hard enough. Youth temptations and dynamic thoughts urged me to move ahead no matter who all and what all turns against you.

I have immense pleasure to see Anabytes flourishing beyond boundaries which started off with a two-men army. It was purely a "Do or Die" situation for us and there was absolutely no looking back to this point. Somehow we were fortunate enough to get a few clients with smaller works and eventually picking momentum. At this genre, I would personally and officially thank all the Anabytical people who had contributed and still contributing to the growth of Anabytes without which we wouldn't be in a position like this today.

Some Happy Moments

Anabytes have now changed to a new office here in Cochin, near Kalyan Silks and we do have business operations in Aylesbury, UK. The happy faces of Anabytes employees, satisfied customers, late night works, team-outing, and even thoses stresses and frustrations gives immense joy these days.

The spirit of friendship and fraternity spans the four corners of the anabytes' thought consortium (because we don't like to call it a work place), and the result of this is quality work delivered on time. United we stand as one voice and a unified thought receptacle, and we call ourselves 'The Anabytical People'.
