MyFootBook - The Story of Mr. Mehta

Mrs. Mehta used to go gaga over new footwear. She never used to miss any discount offers. May it be new year discount offers, billion dollar day at flipkart or even gandhi jayanti offers at the local stores. She had about 84 pairs of footwear. Mr. Mehta had to spend more money on the shoe rack than his wife spent on her footwear, because there are no discount offers on shoe racks, isn't that ridiculous?

Whenever Mr and Mrs Mehta were at a gathering or a dinner party, the wives used to keep blabbering about how they managed to get the last pair of flipflops from Ramu's "Sasta Maal Footwear" store at the local market. They used to take foot-selfies and post it on instagram and tag each leg. Sometimes, it was confusing for them as to whom to tag as they had the same footwear, or they used to forget which sandal they had worn the other day. For them, figuring out whom to tag was like solving the ebola virus menace. Husbands used to comment saying, "When the fuck did you buy that ?!!". Wives also cribbed about how their husbands made a fuss to drive them to discount stores on Wednesday afternoons, leaving their jobs. Mr Mehta used to take advantage of these situations at his office. He used to send an email to the DL saying his wife is suffering from mental disorders and needed immediate attention and took off with her wife to the market to buy her shoes. Not that he wanted to do this either, but it was better than attending meetings where others used to poke their noses and the presenter had no clue what the hell he was presenting. Mr Mehta was quite dumb, in general terms, but doing this for 6 years, I mean anybody would at least start getting frustrated, or probably used to it. Well, Mr. Mehta was used to it. He even encouraged new joinees and interns to poke their noses, if they weren't. But at this very moment, one fine day at the meeting, Mr. Mehta got a revolutionary idea - that was about to change his life for ever. In fact, he was about to change the life of all husbands.

In a time when husbands only bought footwear for their wives, Mr. Mehta was determined to take a path, no one had dared to. He went out to become an entrepreneur. He built a company that helped housewives exchange their footwear among each other instead of them wasting their husband's money on new ones every 2nd week. He also started a website called "MyFootBook". This online platform helped all housewives to post their selfies and when tagged, others come to know about what all footwear they own. A user can directly contact them and rent other's footwear for a nominal fee. Housewives had no more need to go buy the new footwear, since someone, somewhere already owned it. All they now had to do is, call the owner and they would deliver at your foot, I mean, at your door. This was going viral, even Siquoa Capital and Y combinator approached to fund this. Flipkart and Amazon were afraid that MyFootBook would take away their retail market share. Mr Mehta was an overnight hero among all husbands.
