Must. Write.

There is so much which goes on in the mind, for me it never makes much sense until that thought touched pen and then paper. The more I write, the more I remember.

This blogger editor seems outdated.

Anyway, the IFTTT concept needs to be used more at work, things are running a bit too manually for my liking. Have been brushing up on Visio lately, must use it more, easier to articulate concepts. That was random.

So whats been up lately? Its Feb mid already! Times flying as it does, at least it is constant in what it does.

We need Square here in India don't we, I sometimes wish we more more with pace to implement (though in all fairness we are). I can almost see the vegetable vendors swiping cards on their handsets with a Square-ish device.

Where is social media going? What happens after FB? Whats new coming up here? I noticed Klout did some changes and was bought out by someone, that was interesting. I've become a slave to tech news. Google sold Moto, to keep Samsung from running away. Yep.

Want to travel but don't know where, I need to eat something new but don't know what. Sleep is a waste of time, tell that to me when I'm not ready to wake even at 9.00AM on a work day!

Television is shite. Lost interest in/don't have the patience to watch sitcoms/any series. Someone asks me what I am doing, I lose my temper. Why? I am, as most of you might be as well, multi-tasking beyond belief at any given time. Like now for example, the tabs which I have open range from 'Why Alex Salmond is now a man without a plan (http://bettertogether.net/blog/entry/alex-salmond-is-now-a-man-without-a-plan)', to Khan Academy where I am doing Math (for no apparent reason), to random articles on entrepreneurship, Tech Crunch article no Lyft being funded further, Visio tricks and tips on Youtube, UML read-up, IFTTT channels added, Google drive opened up and project plans being worked on for the new client added recently, another Spreadsheet opened to calculate potential monthly EMI's for a flat being hunted for, and more, and more tabs of utter irrelevant nonsense.

Visited the auto expo recently, was nice, shot what I found interesting. Delhi is still cold, 5-6 C at night after the recent snow storm up north. Days are warmer.

Kejriwal resigned, whatever really.

I'm actually looking forward to the week ahead, lets see what comes of it.

Later with more randomness!

Understanding the job

Working with a product company, one of the bigger dilemmas facing the Product team is what to build based on the backlog of product items. Listening to a Harvard lecture podcast online recently, I came across a concept which helped me clear this dilemma. It simply asks a question- what is the job that your product is hired to perform? Ideas for the product you are building can come through various routes. We're going to lose this customer if we don't incorporate this now, this is something the CEO really wants to see in the product, it's been sitting in the backlog forever etc. But a very good way to go about prioritizing what goes into the product is to find the answer to the question- what is the job that your product is hired to perform? Imagine the product to be an employee who is hired for a particular profile. Now there are certain roles and responsibilities or KPI's which will define whether this employee is fit for the post. The same logic will apply to the p...

Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Enterprise

The dictionary defines an Entrepreneur as one who undertakes innovations using business, technical and financial acumen to transform them into viable economic goods, or revitalizing and adding value to an organization. It has to be understood that each and every one has an entrepreneurial bent of mind embedded within us. Most of us do not realize that we unknowingly practice this in our day to day lives through finding an innovative solution at home thus saving time or money, or being 'Intrapreneurs' at work, constantly coming up with methods and processes which would be of benefit to the company and the client. I had the opportunity to attend TiECon-2012 (flagship event of the 'The Indus Entrepreneurs' group) held in the last week of September. The primary focus of the event was to bring together like minded individuals from a multitude of business, financial and technological backgrounds to network, share thoughts and ideologies, learn the art of pro-activeness, un...

Can't let the streak end!

Just a few days until the end of this year and the decade. Realised that there's not been one post this year. Can't let the blog post streak end can we? It's been a busy year. Started off on a good note, ringing in the new year in Thailand with the wife. Got lodged in an unending project which somewhat sums up my year! Nothing to write home about for 2019, some personal projects did start off which were a good break. Got the Octy home, something I've really wanted - which was exciting, a gift which keeps on giving! Hit up Melbourne city again- just once this year, a trip to Nagpur, to Bhopal and to the hills a few times, all necessary to keep things moving on different fronts. Resolution for the next year is to shift gears- down, not up. Who am I kidding. Look forward to an exciting 2020 with more travel, more adventure and more wins!
