Kohinoor's Birth Place
The Koh-i-noor as related by Tavernier was found in Kollur near the River Krishna in the year 1656 A.D. during the reign of Sultan Abdullah Qutb Shah. Meer Jumla who joined hands with the Mughals, presented the diamond, while still uncut, to Shah Jehan. The stone then weighed 787 carats. In 1665 the Koh-i-noor was seen by Tavernier, in Aurangzeb's treasury (Travels in India by Tavernier). During the time of Mahmood Shah (1739 AD) Nadir Shah took it to Iran.
After the death of Nadir Shah at Keleth in 1747, it was passed to his grandson Shah Rukh in Meshed. In 1751 Shah Rukh gave it as a reward to Ahmed Shah at Kabul, and later on it was passed by descent to his eldest son Shah Zaman, and then to Shah Zaman's brother Sultan Shuja.
In 1812 the families of Zaman and Shuja went to Lahore and met Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the last ruler of the Punjab and in return for some favour it was presented to Maharaja Ranjit Singh. In 1839, Ranjit Singh died and at that time the Koh-i-noor was valued at one million sterling. Punjab was annexed in 1849 by the East India Company and the diamond was taken by Lord Lawrence and presented to Her Majesty, Queen Victoria. The Koh-i-noor now weighed 106 carats and finally found its place in the Imperial Regalia of Britain.

The VC & Marriage Path:
Men and women are two different species whose communication is still @ infancy - Bill Cosby.
Like men and women, entrepreneur and VC are two different species, their ideas are different and their goals are different. Men think about sex, women think about gifts. Entrepreneurs think about the growth, VC think about returns. After all these differences still marriage is possible.
Like marriage brings attachment, commitment, food, caring and responsibility, VC fund also brings few things like Acceleration, etc…
On a lighter note:
| Marriage(Woman In Your Life) | VC Fund |
| Growth | Acceleration |
| No need to worry daily(Food), only monthly worries | No need worry monthly only quarterly worries. |
| Helping hand for the bright future | Help with future rounds. |
| | |
| Peacefulness | Competition |
| Respect in the society. (Pls compare with live-in relationship) | Image |
| Stability | Stability |
| Second Salary | Hands on Help (Nice to Have) |
| Help In Taking Care | Help in Recruiting (Nice to have) |
Few more points:
1. 1. Bedrock for things to work in both is communication - be upfront and clear.
2. 2. If things work its heaven. if they don't its hell. Usually both are experienced alternatively in both cases.
3. 3. At marriage vows are made and after marriage they're broken every day but marriage still survives as long as breaks are not huge. It’s just too inconvenient to divorce! Similarly revenue/profit projections are made at funding and they are hardly ever met (plus or minus) but co still survives as long as negative deviations are not huge. It’s just too inconvenient to liquidate!
PJ: VCs are worse - they want returns from entrepreneurs (who can be women as well) ..hehe
Sorry If I am biased towards any particular gender.
Joke: The VC and entrepreneur are always ready for the marriage. But the problem is VC wants decide who is bride, who is the groom.
Note: Special thanks to Suresh Narasimha (CEO of Telebramha) for instigating these thoughts. He was speaking at NASSCOM product conclave about VC Path.
