EoY Shout out

It is that time of the year when we start to reflect on the past year and have a chance to up a version in the new year. During the weekend I did my usual beach stretch. While walking on those familiar paths near the beach, it reminded me of the time 18 months ago, how confused and broken I was and I used to walk this same path almost every single day for 6 months. I spent hundreds of hours listening to podcasts by Simon Sinek & Mel Robbins while walking along the beach for hundreds of kilometres. Whenever I encounter a problem, I rush to the beach to find solace; it comforts me every single time. Standing on the shores of the ocean, you realise how small you are, and your problems seem to shrink to merely a drop in the ocean.When it all started, I was lost and with every step I took, I felt I was getting the clarity I needed. But every step felt long and exhausting.  I emerged stronger and more courageous than ever before.  PC: Google images Earlier this year, the u...

Solving business problems – what is your team’s approach?

-
Image
Whether it's a business problem or a technology problem, the first step is to find a solution. Am I right?  I don’t need a Business degree to recognise it's not the right way to solve a problem; surprisingly, many teams follow this approach. Often a solution is reached before defining a problem. You might argue “Why would an organisation spend $$ without analysing the problem?”. I agree with the intention, but I believe getting clarity on the problem will save time and avoid complications in other business processes, time, money, and resources in the long run. I have noticed instances where businesses quickly resolve problems without knowing the downstream effects on other processes, which can lead to further issues later. In some cases, standard processes have workarounds because no one had time to go back and fix it. Here is your guide to solve problems in an ideal way, The first step is to  analyse and identify the problem  - Explore thoroughly to get to the core ...

I feel grateful for so many little things in  life and I wanted to capture that. Here it goes, In the world of concrete jungle I feel rich, 'coz I wake up to the sounds of birds   In the world of beauty standards I feel rich, 'coz my standards are on kindness and  compassion   In the world of people seeking happiness elsewhere I feel rich, 'coz I’m my happiness   In the world of material wealth I feel rich,  'coz I live around lush mountains and rivers   In the world of nastiness and fakeness I feel rich, 'coz I’m privileged enough to walk out of toxicity   In a world of millions of followers I feel rich,  'coz I have a handful of friends who root for me   In the world of monetary I’m rich,  'coz I have the time to reflect and change In the world of bash parties I feel rich, 'coz I can vibe on my own  In the world of expensive gemstones I'm rich, 'coz I can laugh at any situation In the world of insecured I'm rich, 'coz I k...

Adulting with new ‘Filters’

-
Image
Have you ever used a media filter to show a version you want to share with your virtual world? I need a filter to use it in the real world. Not for my face or my body to appear any different. God NO!! I love myself to the fullest. It's like a filter that can be programmed to react and respond to real-world subtleties. There are intentionally no dislike buttons in the virtual world; you need to ignore the posts you don't like or disagree with. Imagine if it were that easy in the real world. This is just "my concept" - just for fun. Mute filter - This is for people like me who try to fill the silence in any conversation by oversharing. Unfortunately, there is no mute button, so I must remember to shush myself. With my brain fog, I only remember to shush after I've overshared. So, this is a super useful filter for people like me - it automatically mutes me if I overshare. You may ask how the program knows what’s oversharing. If I start talking a...

Emotion or Emotional Drama?!

-
Image
I noticed that I cannot tolerate nuisance in movies these days.  Some movies show emotional threats, manipulation and stalking - all the things that are RED flags are packaged as a family drama. Don't get me wrong, I love watching movies and drama. But I lost patience with movies that show this toxicity like it's NORMAL.  Yes, I don't have to watch them, it's a choice - I get it. But it's so normalised that you cannot avoid them in a good movie. Thank God for the skip button. I was watching a comedy movie last night. It was during the last 30 minutes of the movie, when lil A came and sat with me for a cuddle before going to bed. I remember a scene in which the hero blames his dad for not saving enough wealth to pass on to him. He mentions that he can't marry the girl he likes because of a certain financial status his dad didn't provide. I usually skip these kinds of melodramatic scenes, but I was busy on Instagram and didn't bother to skip th...

Nightmares

I often have interesting conversations with A that would force me to think deeply and reflect on my life. Some of them are enlightening, some of them are reflections, some are lessons, some are silly, and some are stories. In my recent convo with A on the topic of nightmares <  don’t ask me how we got to this topic, it is one of the things he does before he goes to bed. Come up with questions – love his curious mind >.  I don’t know how he has time to think about these things, let alone list them in some order and give them ratings. I'm in my 40’s – I don’t think I can rate my favorite food 😊 <Mama trying to BRAG > Here it goes in his words and it is ordered by worst nightmare to least worst :)  Being chased by a 10-foot metal robot – A green pig controls the robot Time traveling to the age of dinosaurs - wasn’t an ideal dream A world with just vegetables – A world without chickens, steak, pork, or fish. What would I add to my noodles!!?? Being cha...
