Podcast Review #1 Agile for Humans
I switched from Android to iPhone last year. One of the reasons for doing so was iTunes. I was paying for a family plan as my 18 year old daughter wanted to listen to Rap and my 10 year old son (who dreams a singing career) was growing up with Beyonce and it could have 6 family members. And I wanted to listen something during … Continue reading Podcast Review #1 Agile for Humans
It’s a busy street and we don’t need any endorsements
I am a feminist, but the last thing I want to get is an approval from other feminists. I am a liberal, but I don’t need the blessing of other liberals. I am an Atheist, but I do not need the validation of other Atheists. And I can be a real asshole at times, but wait… I am not in any search for other assholes … Continue reading It’s a busy street and we don’t need any endorsements

Are people stressed and overworked because they don’t have enough time to ‘THINK’?
‘Thinking’ or may be the time to ‘THINK’ is getting scarce now. Our little handheld devices take such a lot of our time. Distractions, incomplete work and jumping from one priority to other, all leave people stressed and overworked. I am just putting the question out there for us to ‘THINK’. If we were to take a 15 minutes or half hour every now and … Continue reading Are people stressed and overworked because they don’t have enough time to ‘THINK’?

Response to Tharoor’s Washington Post Article ‘Hollywood rewards a mass murderer’
Mr. Tharoor.. You have a point.. But this is a movie and I guess the history or humanitarian sense of the character portrayed should not have much bearing on an award.. should it? That said I want to thank you for bringing that side of Churchill people do not much discuss. Churchill was a racist and responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands of … Continue reading Response to Tharoor’s Washington Post Article ‘Hollywood rewards a mass murderer’

Just finished reading Kelly Hoey’s book ‘Build Your Dream Network’. When I was on page 162 I wanted to give a try to what she was saying in her book.

There are … Continue reading Build Your Dream Network BYDN By Kelly Hoey
Don’t try getting into the Good Books!!!
“You need to work in order to get into their Good Books” we have all heard that a few times. It sounds as if people are walking around with two books in their hand. One to write the names of the Good people and one to note the names of bad people. My theory is simple. if we are working for a company, our job … Continue reading Don’t try getting into the Good Books!!!
