Technology- awe, wonder and my plan for next year

This last week I was caught up in cold, flu and some major decisions that I am taking to make sure my  list of 5 things to do before I am 35 actually happens.

So, while I a running around the city and getting things done, I thought you might enjoy this enchanting video that I have seen more than 10 for sure.



The original link is here. Enjoy the wonders of technology, while I jump back in the car and drive around to get more errands done.

It's also time of the year to consider what questions to put up for my new year special- if you have suggestions I would love to hear.

Lighting up your ideas

This week I committed myself to know new ideas, to learn more about how others are doing things and be happy.

This week I decided to slow down and see where I am going, to try minimalism and be more aware of myself.  To  gather my thoughts and plan my action on what makes me composed and happy and less stressed out. To share, read and smile more often.

This is what I read in NY Times which lead to finding out more about Asana- a  project management software in making.

This weekend is Diwali which means I am all about lights, happiness and  yummy food!

Wishing all of you the brightness, sparkles and happiness every single day. Happy Diwali!

Who are you now?

Some days are just ordinary.
Some days don’t happen the way you want them to happen.
Some days are plain old same.


I don’t have a blog post to post and I can’t think of any to write. Sometimes I will just read something and think about it. I’ll think how my life has been and what I have done and what I would love to do.


Some days are far away from project management.


I think loosing focus, letting your dreams go and just reading something for no reason whatsoever is pure joy. No certifications, no proposals, no more work.


Most of our actions are nothing but a way to cover up our insecurities, fear and disappointment. 
What would you do- if you had the money, the life you want and everything you need to keep on going? What will you change? What will happen to your job? 


Will you act differently? Who will you be? Who are you now?

Who are you following?

Does it matter?

It does, most of the times. Last year while travelling from India to London for the first time, after landing in Heathrow I was trying to find my way to get my luggage.

The guy sitting next to me in the flight was zigzagging through the airport, so I assumed he was familiar with the airport, so I just followed him, knowing that he will have to pick up the luggage as well.

Turned out, I followed him to the men’s restroom. I stopped, turned around and laughed at myself. What was I thinking?

This is what happens when you follow someone without thinking. Make sure you know what you are doing and why?
