A's little adventure with Dad...

-
Little A become a big boy going on trips without mum.. he had his first trip without me last month to Gold Coast with G. They spent mostly in Dream world, I was really worried how he would react after going there. But then he took it really well.. Trick is we never give him surprise. He usually knows what’s coming and we keep talking positive things about the event at least a week prior to that. G took printout of dream world map and start to plan what to see/do with A everyday for a week..


 Initially he wasn’t happy about the trip without me.. But slowly day by day he started to feel comfortable about his trip to see all his favourite characters and fun things he would do with G. And 2 days before his trip, he was completely ready and when I asked him whether he would miss me on his trip..His response was “Don’t worry mom. I will do face-time.. “

I was so proud of his matured response and felt so relieved to hear that instead of whining and dramas which would’ve made me all stressed.

On D day at the airport, when I dropped him..He gave me a hug and kiss without any drama.. He took his backpack and waved me good bye like a grown boy. Throughout that 4 days (From Thurs till Sunday), he had his best time with G and Never once made a drama.. Which made me guilt-free to enjoy “MY-TIME”.. G loved the attention he was getting from A. I guess overall it’s a win-win for all of us..

A is all geared up for his next trip with G alone soon.. Exciting times ahead..Yippie!!!!

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 ...
