Life after death..

-
Last year G's granny passed away and he had to go to India to participate in the final rituals.. I had to explain A what happened to his great-granny..The conversation went like this

Me: A!! Ta's granny went to God. We won't be able to see her when we go to India next time. Ta has to go to India to see her one last time.Okay!!
A: oh!!! Why did she go to GOD?
Me: Because god wanted her to come back to him
A:Which God ?
<Considering we have 'n' number of God for every thing>
Me: I think Lord Vishnu,  as great granny is quite fond of Lord Vishnu.
A: What happens now?
Me: God will send her back as a Baby to someones' house..
A: Whose house?
Me: I don't know..Only god knows where she goes next..

After few months.. this "After-life" topic comes on and off in our conversations.. Because A is just curious little monkey.One day,


A: Ma!! Which god you like?
<Without knowing where this is heading> 
Me : Lord Krishna !! Because little Krishna reminds me of you!! He was so cheeky just like you..
A: So you will go to Lord Krishna after you die??
Me: Ahem!!!! Yea, Probably!!
A: I like Lord Vishnu and Im going to tell Lord Vishnu that I want to be a Girl next time..
Me: Why?
A: Because girls are pretty  ❤❤


Another day while we were driving to friends place..Cheeky one buckled up in the back seat and thinking!!! <Trouble Now>
A: Ma! Do you think you will be alive when I grow up?
G: A!!I don't like you talking about this AT ALL..  its so rude to talk about death to anyone!!!
A: Im sorry!!!
EVIL Me: Don't you worry baby!!!  I will make sure that I'm alive, I will sit in the back seat when you drive with your girl friend and I will keep on asking questions, just like you do now..Maybe same questions too..I will remember all this.. okay!!
A: hey!! No.. You are my girl friend..You will marry me when I grow up..
Me: Awwwww.. Love you Aaryan..I can marry you right now..  ❤❤


Kids and their curious little minds I say.. A can never get tired of this Topic, G doesn't like talking about this topic.. Don't be surprised when you meet him and if he asks you  "when will you die?" or "Which god you like?".  Don't take it personally, he is just curious..


Its FRIDAY!!! Time to go home..

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 ...
