Snail on a Sloth

Typical Sunday morning.. A wakes up at 8.. Laze around till 8.25.. All the activities happen from here-on goes in S------L----O---T---H on a S----N----A----I----L speed.. Keep that in mind when you are reading this post <If only Time can stop/slow down for us..>



All the begging and Pleading goes on till 8.25 to remind A about his class at 8.45.. He wouldn't move or show any interest in what I am saying..

8.25: I’m thinking I  still have 20 mins to make A ready for his Swim class If I plan it right..
<Super Mom...Super Mom>

8.25: A! please drink the milk , you have to have shower before we go to your  swim class.
A: I am not having any shower now!!! And I’m not going for Swimming today!’ ..  G talks to him about Cricket.. He forgets what he said and drinks his milk

8.30 A drinks his milk..
8.32 Still lazing .. Not ready for shower..
<Imagine me telling him to have shower in repeat mode..>

8.34.. G distract him again talking about cricket and takes him to shower
8.37 A comes out in his Swim wear

8.38 Wears his right leg shoe.. <All the while TALKING/Questioning..>
8.39 Wears his left shoe.. <All the while TALKING/Questioning..>
8.40 Opens the car door and S---L---O---W—L—Y Gets in with one foot and still one foot on the ground.

<Take your time baby, we still have 4 mins>
8.41 S—L—O—W—L—Y sits down on his seat and wears his belt.. 


I can still make it to 8.45 class, it only takes 3 mins drive if I don’t get caught in any of those 3 signals or 5 mins if I do get caught.. I can do it..

What a challenge on Sunday Morning..

8.45 Park the car outside Swimming pool and  rushes to class on time..

Howz that!!!! What – a –timing.. Pat myself and do the victory Dance in my mind..

<On repeat every Sunday>..

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...

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 ...
