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This blogger editor seems outdated.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...

F1 in India!!

All you Formula 1 fans out there, F1 is finally coming to India, to Delhi specifically speaking!! Talks were going on(they always go on..and on) for the past ten years to get the F1 on track here in Gandhi land, now finally its a go! Few months ago liquor dude Mallya proposed to get the track as Rajpath and the surrounding roads around Parliament(as if we have less trouble there already!!), but good'ol Ernie wants a new track altogether. Hey, wouldn'tve been cool if the track was the same one they thought about earlier?? Burning rubber at 300km/hr+ in front of Rashtrapati Bhawan!! Where would the pits be? possibly inside the parliament!! Anyways, the very fact that F1 is coming has got me super excited! Just to see the Ferrrari's and McLaren's zooming past and the sweet sound of the roaring v-8's would be a delight. The only thing I am worried about is the snails pace at which work is carried out here in Delhi, in India as a matter of fact! Alonso crosses the first ...

Art of the Start

Building out something can be one of the best experiences one can have. As kids, we took great pains building structures using Lego bricks, modelling clay into art which put renaissance sculptors to shame, or making barracks and castles of scale in sand where we were nothing less than kings. These activities gave us a sense of achievement and entitlement. These were some of our first products. Some of you would have gone on to build sand walls around those castles, and moats to fend off intruders. You were the consolidators, empire builders. If you build out that castle and kicked it to the ground to then make another masterpiece, you were in the true sense a serial entrepreneur. Sat on the sidelines and got the other kids to build stuff for you? No comments. Fast forward to today. Looking to be a pioneer and build out something, or provide a specialised service? Ever wonder what it would be like if everything you ever imagined went on to fruition the moment you thought it out? Woul...
