Reliving this minute...

A asks me "when will I grow up to be like dad?".. < Im thinking Grow up slow baby..>.. I respond You have long way to go.. He says  NO, RIGHT NOW.. That kept me thinking we always wanted to grow up quick and very curious  to see whats its like!!

When in preschool, just cant wait to be in school and proud to wear that uniform like big sis/brothers.
When in school, just cant wait to be in middle school and go on excursions..
When in middle school, just cant wait to be in high school and have a GF/BF (seriously!!!!!)
When in High school, just cant wait to be get in to college and be independent.
When in college, just cant wait to be in  REAL WORLD working..
When in real world working and settled (either with a family or not).... going back seeing school pics or talking to your old friends and you will always want to go back to those days..


This is so true, few days back one of my college friend's bday..thanks to technology, we are all connected now in watsapp (free msg service) ,so everyone sending wishes remembering her likes (fav hero, fav song).. It just felt as though time didn't change anything..

 Its just that we are always running to the next level so fast and not living and appreciating THIS moment. Either we are so curious to go to next level(grownup) or sit and dwell on those good OLD days..

I say lets make everyday special and create memories.. lets not grow up so fast.. take a step back and slow down. I know its sounds silly to those busy bees out there.. but this suits me well..

Have a fantastic day...

Lost and Found myself..

Rule of thumb for a blind date is to trust the process and to go on a date with no/zero expectation. You do not know who you are meeting until you see them. You cannot check their FB profile or see their stories in Insta. You go there with open mind. If you are lucky, you get a wonderful experience and stories to tell your grand children. Mine was no different, I must say I was always lucky with my blind dates. I have had so many experience of this. However, it was not like I didn't have a choice. Like most of you I too had a conventional way, but choose another way.  I'm talking about my blind dates with this world. Would you dare to go on a blind date with this world? I would. I certainly would. I love the idea of exploring the world , a new place without a map/GPS in hand. I just love the idea of embracing the local culture without reading a travelogue. I just love to taste local food at a street shop in a small alley 'coz local people eat there. I...

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

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 ...
