I was caught in an inadvertent crossfire exchange of a positive and negative integer session basics, between my wife and my 10 year old. She was trying to brush his knowledge right before a class test. 🤠Mom: Ashvik, Borrowing money makes you +ve or -ve? Ashvik: Obviously mom, I have money, I am +ve…

If you want more..
Then do less, but do right! A very simple but very “complex” statement at the same time. Most of us are lost in the (vicious) cycle of not being able to recognise what matters most, and how to get “it”. Be it professional satisfaction or growth at work, better personal / social engagement, quality of…
Aurora Borealis / Bangalore-is?
Don’t tell me that after Trump took over reins in the far west, he has somehow managed to outsource the Aurora Borealis to this side of the world? IT has been bangalore-ed! (pun intended) Happened to catch this view recently (14-Jun-2017) in good old bengaluru. Prey take a look and let me know. 🙂

Why would I want to compli-cate something when all I want is to complexi–fy it? 🙂 Surprise, you can complexify things. Did you know…
Why is it so damn difficult to pay attention?
Digest this – the psychological definition of attention is “A state of focused awareness on a subset of the available perceptual information” (courtesy: Wikipedia) No wonder then, that sometimes it becomes exceedingly difficult to pay attention. So the next time somebody yells at you, you know what to say! 🙂
What we were not told about Project Management!
Few one liners to bring out the humor in otherwise a dry subject 🙂
â—ľShortly, Projects (status) will also be traded on the futures exchange, with stop loss on failure and buy on success
