Man of the match goes to...

-
I don't know it's the DNA or it's simply the country we live in or the sport G is passionate about or the exposure he gets all through the year..  It's something,  something makes A believe he will become a cricketer one day and play for Australian team..In our recent trivia time I asked him "Who will be a superstar cricketer in the year 2030".. Guess what he answered !! "Ofcourse, its AG!!"

G tries to bring him to support India,  but it never happens.. A supports OZ even when they are in their worst form..

Recently I gather to worst of my nightmare,  2019 and 2020 is the year for cricket lovers..  First it's summer in OZland and then to IPL then to World Cup.. Before we know it,  it's summer  again in OZ then in 2020- its 20-20 world cup back in OZ..  I should seriously think about getting a second TV. It's about time,  I'm a cricket illiterate in the house everyone else believes its a religion..

and I'm not ashamed!! ..

Coming back to the topic,  ever since we moved back from Korea, A started watching cricket..  Interests can't be forced,  it gotta be natural isn't? I tried my best to distract him with theater, drama and pop culture..Seriously I thought I had a chance there with him.. He had other plans, at the end of our recent show -Alice in wonderland, he politely told me that theater doesn't interest him anymore.. it broke my heart!!  <nah!! I'm just being dramatic..>

A already have a pretty good idea about his future team..  He reckons he would be the opening bowler and maybe 6th or 7th batsman in the order..  He also think he would get 4 wickets (he also says 8 sometimes) in his debut test match.. Oh! Did I mention that he loves test matches!!. 20-20 is like a snack he indulge-in but he thinks he can play test match for straight 5 days. 

I hope I don't  jinx it by writing it here..  I just want to record my 6 yr old dream .. if it ever comes true one day,  this is the proof..

Cheers to the sport that I hate coz it takes away my boys attention from me.  Call it jealously, I really don't care..


This post is for that day we hear  "Man of the match goes to".. <Drum Rolls>

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 ...
