Random shite

My dear blog.

As is customary, I apologize for abandoning you time and time again. You would be glad to know that I am in one of those moods today where I can write on and on. It is sad that I am not in these moods more often. Waking up at random hours while in college, how I used to produce scripts to shame Oscar winners (at least what I used to think!), gone are those days, I long for them, I crave the innocence.

While I am at it, might as well give you an update of the on's and happenings in my wretched and boring(super boring) life. I sit here at 12.00am Saturday morning, fully aware that I don't have work to get up to, aware that I can sleep, aware that I have a million things pending, which will bring me up from my slumber with a thud. The feeling of dis-satisfaction with life has overcome me in the last few months, the reason for which I search like Holmes in a haystack. The emptiness which has filled me, has caused a void, never felt before. I am not one to express such emotions in the first place, but well, there is a time for everything. An year remains as I remind myself, as I listen to a repeat playlist comprising of the Beatles, Pink Floyd, U2, Coldplay and the lot. The songs which take me to a high, a level where I don't need to think, just be swayed by the melodious fringe.

Forgive me oh blog if I rhyme from time to time,
tis' not a habit,
it is just this time in grime,
in you, this I confin(d)e!

On this 10th of December night, I have had a egg and sausage sandwich for dinner, not very proud, but well, I let it simmer. The weather outside seems a tropical bliss, 6 degrees, compared to -15, few days adrift. As was promised, oh blog of mine, I have laid out my lines. I wish health and success to all my well wishers, those who wish no for me, show even a bit of hate, I wish them even better, for they deserve so much more. This is not the sarcasm speaking, it is from deep within, I wish you the best, the very best, so you may live, prosper and grow in this cruel world of ours/yours.

News at this time, the world is gripped with the leaks that scandalize the powers. My only hope, it doesn't arouse more conflict in the already ravaged flower.

I can go on but the clock strikes late.
Up I have to get, so late to bed.
If I don't accomplish the tasks tomorrow,
shan't be heading in the path planned to follow.
So I bid adieu, oh blog of mine, hope to see you soon with open eyes.
Be then oh blog, a media to all, show them how worlds crash and fall.
Be not afraid to breath reality,
as it will give them a reason to laugh at insanity..

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, ...
