Pirates review::-



All you fans of Mr.Bloom, I have one question for you,why do you like him again??
I finally made it out of the house yesterday and went to see the long awaited Pirates of d Carib. I don't follow the ratings given in the papers cos gosh! face it, critics get paid like hell to give good reviews. Anyways, the movie is strictly for those who have seen the parts 1 and 2 in detail,and when I say detail, I mean the minutest of intricacies involved in them. First of all there is no prolouge(No, I was not late to the hall), so any person/thing who went to see pirates thinking he/she/it would understand it with ease, would make for a good sleep in the AC. As usual acting by Depp and Keira was excellent(no grudges against Orlando, I hate his acting..). The story revolves around the infamous Jack Sparrow, the renowned pirate of the high seas during the era of the 16th century. Following the path shown by ""cylpso"", the crew set out to find Sparrow in Davy Jones locker(where-ever that is??).Excellent fighting scenes between the British East India company and all the pirates. When Indian movies will incorporate the animations of this calibur is not known to me. If you don't want to see the movie, read on- the pirates beat the crap outa Jones and the Brits. Eliz Swane and Bloom marry, but cannot unite cos Bloom gets 10 years community service(haaaha).I'll give it 3 and a half triangles(why stars?).Go and watch the movie, its good!

What happened exactly?

Revisiting this web-page, writing this, seems different. Let me keep this brief. There was a time when we didn't care about format, formation, punctuation, creation. Now everything revolves around presentation, perception, perfection. The latter requires time, dedication, motivation. Former was the original. Thought flowed from mind to pen/keys. The problem is time, a lack thereof.  End of the written letter was spelled.   

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...

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!
