Decision, Decision, how to make a precision!!!

| Subhash

So how do you decide whether it’s yes or no, right or wrong or good or bad?

How are you more likely to make an important decision — by reasoning through it, or by going with your gut? @http://agileopedia.com/

How the pilot decides whether it’s good to land or hover.

Coming from a software background I would share that in IT paradigm we have a GO/NO Go decision. This means whether we plan to go live or not with a product release. So how does one conclude with the decision?

In software product releases we take the help of some stats, pass rate of tests help to decide on the stability and there are certain must have features governed beforehand which must be working ( MoSCoW model is used here which means Must have, should have and would have).

Then on top of it there is always a presence of experience and the GUT feeling of the managers the stakeholders and the client when they sit and decide whether it’s good to go live or call off the release.

It relates to our own personal self also, when we need to take decisions we have our own stats and supporting facts and figures. These help us to decide and draw a fine line between good and bad and whether we go for it or not and narrow our circle of doubts. There is always the gut feeling which one gains using his experience, this is called wisdom and it can never be taught or coached, one has to earn it.

Let me confess this is easier said than done and even the most experience tumbles at time in choosing and deciding, follow and listen to your inner self and moral values too, it will help too.

A few lines before I wrap it up:

When I start my journey to success, I find several roads leading to thee,

Then I land on a crossing, with confusion breeding on me.

Wise men advise, thou take this way or this one, but let me tell you my son,

Take a route and stick to it, thou shall find your destination.

This is my take on How are you more likely to make an important decision, let me know yours.

How to look beautiful!!!

If you really want to look beautiful I have a wonderful mantra to share.

Cloned: Pearl's Mirror Image @http://agileopedia.com/
Reflections @http://agileopedia.com/

Spend a minute before mirror,

Five before yourself  and 

Fifteen before GOD. – Source Unknown

Help yourself reveal the best in you, your inner beauty will outcast your perception of outer beauty.

Take time to retrospect about life and do spend some time in silence, alone, in the woods and talk to yourself.

Trust me this will make you realize what is your purpose in and of life.

This will not only make you look amazingly beautiful but will also help you to stay beautiful forever.

Have a lovely day, spread and shower love all around.

Are you the last letter of the English Alphabet?

Are you the last letter of the English Alphabet?

I love to take challenges and so many people do, remember the Ice Bucket Challenge which stormed the internet and social media a few days back.

What type of person like challenges? Are they special, are they super powered or they are destined.

Challengers are:

  • First or Last @http://agileopedia.com/
    First or Last @http://agileopedia.com/

    Determined to prove and succeed.

  • They are looking out for wider areas to explore.
  • They are chasing their passion
  • They are ambitious.
  • They believe in “Never give up”
  • They are consitent.
  • Failure or success does not bother them, it is the learning and unlearning process they carry ahead.

So what do you think about yourself, are you the one is going to pick up the gauntlet when thrown at you or be like the last letter of the English Alphabet which is always sleeping.

Enjoy your weekend guys…..

What’s your last for today….

So this is the last post from me.

How many times we have said This is the last time I am smoking, I call it quit now.

This is the last drink, I wont from tomorrow.

We have had so many forgotten last times in our lives which we dont really commit to.

These are the ones which are good enough to be left.

How about a last post.

Never, this is a pretty good addiction to call it a quit and wish people keep sharing their creativity and we never have a last post.

Happy weekend….

Survival In Captivity…

| Subhash

You’ve being exiled to a private island, and your captors will only supply you with five foods. What do you pick?

I used to maintain a book on quotations, metaphors and idioms when I was a kid, there was no internet kinda stuff.

One of the idioms that pops up is this one:

While others live to eat, I Eat to live. 

Eat to Live – Basically it means that eating should not be one of your favourite hobby, one should eat healthy and survive. At least I am not to finicky when it comes to eating. As a matter of fact we need to eat to survive else we succumb.

Live to Eat- on the other hand refers to the fact that eating for you is something beyond just survival.

Given the fact of captivity, do I need to bother what I have been given to eat once taken captive, still given the choice I would go with rice, tea, pulses, egg and bread.

In this age I believe having internet access will be much of a boon when in captivity. we can keep posting our daily update on social media.

The above image is from a country side restaurant in India when we were en-route to Agra to see the beautiful Taj Mahal. These are called Dhabas in India and they serve some real good traditional Indian mouth watering and relishing dishes.

So next time you come to India make sure you visit one.

What’s the best thing since sliced bread!

What else, when we are belonging to this part of the century,

It’s keeping us busy without a story.

We are writing prompts, it is helping and entertaining us,

And Yes, at times it creates a lot of fuss.

From Obama to Osama all are searched,

No one is spared in this earth.

Stealing quality time from our family, friends and mates,

It taught us to socialize on Twitter, Facebook and Classmate.

What else on Earth is so crazy and overspread,

Internet is the best thing since sliced bread!.

Happy weekend all… keep posting.

A sensation — a taste, a smell, a piece of music — what that transports you back to childhood.

 “The Childhood Transporter.”

Christmas Carols take me to my childhood. We used to take part in the winter concert and music fest.

Marbles draw my attention to childhood.

Candies take me back down the child hood lane.

Kites flying high in the sky pull my strings of childhood.

Smell of  freshly baked Cookies take me to my childhood.

The pitter patter of rain and sailing paper boats in the rain water take me to my childhood.

The fresh aroma after rain from the parched mud which was desperately waiting for some water, takes me back to my childhood.

Jon Bon Jovi, Def Lepard, Richard Marx, Pink Floyd, Bee Gees, Johny Cash, Cliff Richard any of their classics reminds me of the old days.

Above all spending time with my daughter, she is my childhood reborn and I relive my childhood with her.

First Blood

| Subhash

When I saw the post this came to my mind immediately First Blood

They drew First Blood, Oh what a movie it was Rambo. The stout John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) and his baritone voice, having ghastly images of the Vietnam War which haunts him is provoked by the cops. Then whatever happens is worth watching.

So today Michelle drew the first blood by this prompt and I wrote about it.
