Broken & messed up Society

-

 Vismaya ,24 yr old Medical (Ayurveda) student took her life few days back due to abusive relationship/dowry demands etc.,. WE as a society failed to provide a safe space for her to walk out from an abusive relationship. There are so many more Vismaya's out there right this moment, what are we doing about it? We/Society just blame the girl when she breaks a marriage and we make sure she goes down with no support even from her parents, who are afraid of what WE as a society thinks/say. If only she broke out earlier, if only the society supported the decision, if only her parents reacted to the earlier red flags without accepting 'its usual behaviour for grooms side' .. This is not normal, she went through physical abuse and still couldn't get help. This is someone's life, she shouldn't have died, she should've lived another 80yrs..we failed , we live in a messed up society that advices the girl to adjust and sacrifice, advices the girl what she is going through is nothing compared to other women, advices the girl Men will be Men and they will calm down after a while...  By doing this we are encouraging toxic behaviours and making it sound normal.This is not normal, get that person brain checked ,don't tell the girl to keep quiet. This has to stop, do we learn any thing from this. NO, this is just another news and we move on. Until we stop another Vismaya taking her life, we failed as a society.

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 ...
