Working with global teams for a very long time has had a very funny side effect on me. Every-time I check the time, I mentally calculate the time it will be in 2-3 other time zones that I have colleagues/customers in! For no reason whatsoever 😊 Anyone else faces this?

I would love a CoPilot type assistant in WhatsApp. Delete all “good morning”/“happy XXXX” messages Search for a specific document or content in a document Search for a non saved contact Summarize all the (unread) content in a chat And many more!!

How many times have you entered your password when you were supposed to enter the user name (making your password visible!) especially when someone is watching over your shoulder? “Shoulder Surfing” gone bad! What a pain this is!

God forbid if you have any car insurance policy up for renewal, be ready for the barrage of calls/emails/messages and any other possible form of comm trying to sell you a renewal! Worst time. Just close the renewal as soon as you get the first reminder, it all stops right after.

I have a less than 25% success rate in getting the hands free/motion sensing taps in wash basins to work for me! And that success is also after a lot of struggle involving waving the hands all over the basin. How about you?

Which anxiety do you prefer? 1. The one caused by not checking your emails in the morning! 2. The one caused by the emails that you checked in the morning! In the ideal world, you shouldn’t have any anxiety! But as we all know, nothing is ideal.

Everyone, for tomorrow remember that only Ukadiche Modak count. Pls don’t post or share pictures of any other type of “modak”! And ideally they should be hand made with the “saran“ made of jaggery. Some unevenness is good. The ones made using a cast will be lower in the rankings.

While airline captains keep giving a lot of information and instructions, the two instructions that really matter are 1. Cabin crew, prepare for departure! And 2. Cabin crew, prepare for landing! Everything else is just small talk.

Getting thru airport security with your pants loosely held as the belt is arnd your neck, shoes in one hand, phone/electronics in the other hand, bag on the back, trolley being pushed by one hand…..it’s is a modern miracle that you don’t lose anything and maintain a +ve spirit!

If you have traveled Southwest Airlines in the US, it almost seems that their flight attendants have a script writer writing jokes for them. They are hilarious! Need to check their hiring process and questions. Love them. @SouthwestAir

Packing bags and managing it within the prescribed weight limits is always a stress inducer. Always gets one very worked up. But in my view, after the dust settles down, it always works out! This story almost always ends well!!

“Psychology of Money” authored by Morgan Housel is one of the best books that I have read in a long time. Simple and highly impactful story telling. Highly recommended. @morganhousel amzn.eu/d/91xVOoz

I recently moved to a MacBookPro and I fail to understand why it took me so long to convert. What a transformation it has been in my overall productivity! And I have started loving to do even traditional monotonous routine boring activities just because I am using a Mac 😊

The only solace you have when you get off of a late night arriving flight when on a business trip is when you see people waiting in the boarding area to get onto the next flight!

Updated all my Apps sometime back and felt very weird to see the Twitter birdie replaced with a very ugly looking “X”!

Coming home to a clean and tidied up room is one of the best feelings that you get when on vacation. And the small touches they give. Especially when you have kids and the state of the room when you left for the day was screaming for attention!! God bless the housekeeping staff!

The easiest way to validate and even categorize your credit card expenses would be to allow you to respond to the credit card charge email that you get right after the charge. You can just respond “ok/notok”, the category (say “travel”) and get both done. Attach that to the stmt.

No where else is the decision making so intense, has to be so quick, has instant results and is almost always wrong! You guessed it right, it’s the decision to decide which line to get into at a toll booth! Share if you disagree and how have you overcome this anxiety (if at all).

Not forgetting/losing any of your personal belongings at the airport security check is nothing short of a miracle! To me the biggest innovation in this space would be to just walk through (like you would in an Amazon Go store) without having to do anything.

There are so many AhHa moments when you are filing your taxes. Numbers and entries that didn’t make sense (extreme codification in statements) suddenly start adding up. You kind of start getting the hang of it and then you wonder why were you so hesitant to start this activity!
