    I always postponed things in my life. Be it my marriage, or getting a promotion or even a child. But one thing definitely is true. Whatever happened to me at the time when it supposed to happen till date, made my life better.     Dude, don't get a wrong picture, I love my life. Just that I did not rush anything here(this life on this planet Earth). One thing definitely made an impact that I never thought would do.      That is the newcomer to our life a year ago. Let me go back to April last year. I was at the hospital and never expected would even get inside the operation theater in my life to see whats in store for me. Hurrah, but I did! At around noon, I was blessed with a little fellow whom I had already spoken to. This guy was communicating with me even before he was born. Yes from his womb, non-verbally thou. His birth brought tears in her eyes. I thought she was disappointed that we had a boy. Little did I knew that she was happy that her...

     About couple of months back when I was going to a temple with my family through a nearby village, I happened to see some young folks hardly around 20 years of age with camera. At some distance there was another group with their mobile phones hanging and a young fellow capturing a video of his friends dancing. What stuck me is the craze these young generation are showing to make videos for online platforms.       Let us deep dive a bit. Are these folks here for money or popularity or both? What is driving them to become short video makers which are hardly a minute or two? Of course, its the money and then the idea that they can become popular quiet fast and easily. But isn't it a misnomer. Don't you think this path is quiet misleading.      What is even more depressing is to think that every body can monetize money thru online platforms like Tiktok,  Instagram or YouTube. Yes few of them succeed, but its very handful of them....

       I thank God for giving humans a break. I know many agree with me as this lock down phase or the Covid-19 effect is showing us what we as humans need to introspect. I can hear the sound of the birds chirping at my house, even heard that the Yamuna river is now 50% less populated. Look at the Bangalore air, we have 60% less pollution. Can't we as Human Beings, being part of this Universe, give back this much to the mother Nature? The least we can do is stay home for at least a month or a couple of it, to save it.       Mother Nature knows how to balance the karma as per the laws. It is indeed shameful that we were forced to obey. We being the most intelligent species on the planet should have learnt how to survive without spoiling it. But unfortunately our egos did not let it be so. Instead we were humbled forcefully by Her. I just hope at least we learn now.        Macro economically, a country's progress need not have to b...

Please read my last blog on  'Agile' Project Manager  if you want to understand this better.         In continuation to what you have understood already, we cannot mix the Scrum Master role with traditional Project Manager role. The project management activities are still being carried out in the agile framework. Let us understand what a Project Manager does [role] and how this task is being carried out in the scrum framework        a) [Project Delivery (Planning and execution)] - In Scrum to deliver a project successfully the entire Scrum team (Scrum Master, Product Owner & Development team) will be equally committed and the ownership shifts from one person ( referring to Project Manager in traditional terms) to the whole team (Scrum team).       b)   [Resource planning/allocation] - In Scrum we have a self sustained, cross functional development team who do not need high directive/less supportive (Directive...

       In software world, 'Agile' is the word you most often hear now a days when it comes to software delivery process. Agile has many approaches - Scrum, Kanban, Lean, Extreme Programming(XP), Test Driven Development(TDD). Scrum is one such Agile approach that is used to deliver complex projects in IT world. Now let me give you a brief on what Scrum is. Scrum approach assumes that you have a cross-functional, independent development teams who are self sustained to deliver the product with the help of Scrum Master and Product Owner and keeping Agile values in tact. It has its usual sprint planning sessions, daily stand-up meetings, sprint review and sprint retrospective meetings in a time boxed sprint. Unlike the traditional waterfall model where the output or the end product is possibly visualized at the end of the process life cycle, in Scrum you get an incremental product at the end of the each sprint.       Now let us analyse if there is so call...

     Nature has everything for a man's need but not for his greed. If we appreciate the way Nature is preserving things thru biocycle, then it is better we learn things quickly. It is indeed our ignorance to acquire things that is making the future unlivable. As simple as water, air and food in today's world is so polluted, I sometimes wonder what my son (10 months old) would have when he turns 20 years or even at 10 years.      Ironically most of the management courses teach us to learn and how to make money by adding value to the existing business or create a new one. Yes sustainable businesses are indeed a lesson that we learn. Isn't the implementation of this sustainability a bigger issue today? But in the process of adding value, aren't we killing the nature? Hmm, I wonder if there is any company which has made money and not screwed up the environment.     The question is - has the time come for Governments to take extreme measures like ad...
