Glasgow-Finally!


After a hectic last month, I can finally sit in peace and continue on the blog which I keep abandoning again and again! The latest is, well, inspite the heavy odds, I made it to Glasgow, to Scotland and well, to the UK! Life here is completely a straight walk in one file. Work goes on so systematically that it scares you sometimes. We Indians are used to having things done in our own time and liesure but not here, if something is given a time to be done, it is done on and at that time whether you like it or not!
Take the case of the incident that happened a few days back, I got a notice from the accomodation people here saying that the cleaners would be there doing their job at so and so time and date. I was all ok! whatever type. The notice said to label the stuff in the kitchen belonging to you so that it is not disposed off, something I shouldn't have taken lightly!! The day after the cleaing, I found all my stuff-cup,glass,spoon,cereal,sugar.noodles and all was all taken out to trash! There went about £10 of stuff!!!!! Learning is part of life and I took the lesson and am playing cautious now!
Otherwise life here is a breeze. Unlike in India, here people of all ages keep jogging at any damn time of day in their shorts and vests even if the weather is like 10 degrees! I laughed initially but am getting used to it and thinking of starting a similar routine as it has started getting colder here now. There is no other better way of staying than jogging I guess, atleast for the tee-totlers like me! The other interesting thing here is that the sky seems to be dark all day(owing to the grey clouds) and orange in the night!!
The University is one hell of a place. Being one of the oldest in the world(estab. 1451), the buildings seem to be taken right out of the the pages of the Harry Potter series. You feel of looking for some broom kept lying about and try to fly off, it really looks like Hogwarts!
More blogging to come!

Stirling retreat

A well deserved outing out of Glasgow, after three and a half months here saw me and the mates going to Stirling, a city, well, a very small city an hours drive from here. Not that we could have chosen a better day for the trip, the mercury plummetted to a bone chilling -5C! (Pic:In an animated discussion with his royal highness while the jester looks on) The main attraction of Stirling, the Stirling Castle, the place of cornation of the legandary Queen of Scotts, and witness to the wars faught by the Scottish heros William Wallace and Robert the Bruce against their English counterparts. The scenic beauty of the palace took us a while to absorb, so did the entry fee to the castle (still not recovered from it)! Well, it brings me back to our roots, as Indians. Not that we didn't build castles and forts similar to this one if not better, my point focusses on our stingy attitude. Having paid the amount for the castle entry, we cribbed on the fact whether we should pay an addit...

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...

Da da daaaaa!

Have you ever thought about what scares you? Not the spooks scare, but the really scary scare, the type which makes you rethink what you are doing in life, make changes to offset the fear. Off late, I have got a few of those scary thoughts, which have made me change a few things, re-examine a few aspects of my life and re-arrange a few loose ends here and there. The first shocker came not long ago in the form of a health concern. It completely blew me catching me off guard. Its funny how all your worries and stress vanish away when the health of a person is in context. The nearest thought in the mind screams, dictating that you just stay alive, the rest we'll take care of! By god's grace and everyone's good wishes, we're back to fit and fighting stance this moment, aware of the fact that if this issue was hidden for a while, could have been drastic! The second incident which sparked me off is that of my future. I cannot get myself to explain in words what I am feeling, ...
