Hello from an old neighbour !!

-
'Hello beautiful!! How are you today?'

I stop and look around.. I didn't see anyone..I hear the voice again..

'You look so confused!!
Hey, Stop!! don't you have manners..
Look at me when I talk,  don't walk away!!
Oh wait, of course you won't or should I say you don't have time for it, in last 12  years..
Let me tell you the stats, you walk past me atleast 7 times on a weekday and more on weekends..
You can't fool me!! I watch everyone like no one is watching!!
 Literally no one!! not even you!!'

'No, no, not him!! Don't look at him..
Here, this side..I'm over here!'

'I remember the day when I moved in to this neighborhood,
I felt home, what I noticed over the years is you love your space,
you keep them beautiful,
So much has changed over the years in the neighborhood..
New  upgrades,  new tenants, new neighbours..
I'm the senior citizen here, I tell the new-bees where to go.. '

'Don't look confused still!! I know you more than anyone..
are you curious? I can see it in your eyes!!
Okay!! let me give you a clue, I'm in every picture you take in our neighborhood!!'

any guess??

'Okay! don't look annoyed!! I know what you will do next!!
Turn around, take 4 steps, STOP!!'

Ta-da!!!

Hello from the Buddha..

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.

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 ...
