Growing Old...

-
Growing old.. Not sure how counting our life by days has any purpose.. I really feel age/number doesn’t make the person old.. I cant imagine some of my close buddies when they say the number I cant/don’t want to accept it.. I really feel their age just froze in my mind as who they were when I saw them first because they never changed..they are the same fun-to-be/always-be-there-for-me person like I always known them.. 

Again the number doesn’t count as one to be old. Coz I know some really old people(of any age) who doesn’t have any motivation to stay young and some kids (like me!! Duh!!!) act like one all the time. You shouldn’t stop yourself doing something just because your number is big.. I read somewhere You get old when you stop having fun. Why do we need to restrict ourselves just coz of some number..No one is stopping us, maybe people around criticize but they always do.. why bother..

Meaning of Fun varies for each individual, Its completely up to the person. Fun for me is exploring new places/food/shopping/travel/Being myself. Challenge me, I’m up for it.

Lot of inspiring young people in their 60’s or 70 olds (I call them young coz they truely are in their heart) achieve so much like this person and so many others..  looks like I have manyyy more years to do something purposeful.. 

Why am I talking about age/number you may ask, because my bday is coming up in months’ time.. I’m very much excited but I fixed my age completely in 20’s.. So don’t ever ask me that question.. I don’t have any plans changing my number/age in the near future..

It may be confusing to read the post because I started as though I don't believe in big nos but ended up saying I'm not accepting the big numbers..Sounds confusing right!!!? but I'm clear on my choices..

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 ...
