Perspective 2020: Let The Journey Begin

07-MAR-2019 was a again a awesome day awesome experience!!! At 9.30 am, I woke up from a power nap. Had a call early morning, at around 4 am with US team members to find solution for a problem. (Even though I had realized that no one cares of such efforts, its just that the passion for what I do kept me driving) I freshened up, checked time 9:45 am. Bad time to start for office (Bengaluru Traffic, God Bless!). I opened my office laptop set Work From Home status. Went through mails, replied back to important ones. Started listing out the tasks for the day. And realized I will have free time in afternoon as there will be work again in night. Remembered about the SP Road Visit Plan. *(SP Road in Bengaluru is a electronics goods and components market. I had to visit in order to find a particular part that one of my office colleague required for his hobby project. I also wanted to visit the market to tick of my bucket list of visiting Electronics market of the city I reside or may reside in

The idea for writing this came, when I was travelling in a train from Mumbai to Hyderabad. When the train was approaching Khandala Ghats, the lights of bogie went off. Same time train started passing the through tunnel. Gosh! it was complete darkness. Was not able to view anything for few seconds until everyone used their mobile flashlights. I made note of it in my iPod, and typed few lines but was neither able to complete or structure the note. But few months later, when me and my friends went to Dialogue In The Dark (Its a restaurant wherein there is complete Darkness. We are guided to the table and served food by attendants, and all the attendants are blind). After the experience inside the restaurant, I recollected the moment of Darkness Note. And instinctively completed it, when I was sitting with my friends in the open air dining area of the mall.  This is a try to depict how perspective of Darkness changes when we think of it as a person with vision and a person who is blind!

Most of us are aware of Jenga-Wood Block Game! It is a fun game to play. My current firm has unknowingly inculcated a constructive habit of making innovative structures with the Jenga blocks. Have Observed, at our work place or at our home we all tend to take 5-15 minutes of breaks as a breather. Generally we hear music, watch trending videos, go through social media posts, talk with colleagues, take a coffee (chai-sutta) break, have a phone call with friends or simply sit idle. Everyone has their own suitable way of taking their breathers. The habit that I got into at office is to make structures using the Jenga Blocks, a thanks from heart to office management for keeping the Jenga Block accessible to all. Sometimes the structure comes out the way I want, sometimes it does not and sometimes it simply falls down. Best is when a colleague joins in, adds his own ideas and starts to make a structure himself. Week in week out this goes on. Now have even got a Jenga set for home.
