I spent most of the long weekend and an additional day that I took off, reading Calvin and Hobbes. Needless to say, when I woke up this morning, I was in a delirium, because I felt like this:


Just thought I should tell you this! Wish me luck for a long day ahead..

Signing out,
Sigh. I need me more long weekends.

The Subtle Art of Breaking News

By -
There was a man called Bob. He had a brother who was a bit of a moron.  Once, Bob was leaving for a long-awaited vacation for two weeks and asked his moron brother to take care of his cat, while he was gone. A week into the vacation, Bob calls his brother to check in. After the preliminary talk, he asks how the cat is doing.
His brother replies, "Oh yeah, about that. The cat died yesterday."
Bob was devastated. And also furious. He said to his brother, "How insensitive are you? Couldn't you have broken the news more gently, so I could be prepared?"
The moron brother is confused and asks for an example how the news should be broken.
So Bob explains, "On the first call, you should have said, your cat climbed up the roof, it's unable to come down. On the second call, you could say, the firemen are here, they are trying their best. On the third call, you say, we are all trying hard, but she's not coming and not eating either. On the final call, you say, I a…

So what's the verdict? The one skill that will change our lives in the next few years? Artificial Intelligence? Big Data? Behavioural Science (Shameless plug for my subject)? Blockchain? Cryptocurrency?

I will go out on a limb here and proclaim this - the biggest winner will be the one who learns to listen. That's it. That's the skill that will be the biggest leverage.

Here's my hypothesis. 

Our lives are dominated by screens. From when we wake up, till when the day ends. Screens on phones. Screens on TV. Screens on Laptops. We are hooked to the colors and the movement. But here's the thing. Screens are one-sided communication. Screens don't need input. Screens don't care what you are doing. So, you can be watching a video on YouTube, while posting a comment on a Friend's photo on Facebook. The screen will not feel bad. Or be hurt. It's just the background.

The problem is, our kids are growing up with screens. They probably don't know of a time or a…

Don't Read This

Don't read this post.
Please. It's not meant for you.
Why are you still reading?
Because you don't like being told what to do, do you?
You, independence-loving, autonomy-addicted, you.
Some call it Reverse Psychology. Some call it just the good old plain logic.
Many years ago, the King of Prussia, Fredrick the Great, also known as Fritz, heard about a new root called Potato. Enamoured by it's nutritional value, he decided that his subjects need to start including potato in their staple diet.
Grand announcements were planned. Drummers would walk across town, singing paeans of the benefits of eating this potato. Cooks would publicly demonstrate recipes with potatoes. I would go out on a limb and say, French Fries was not one of those recipes, because what happened next would just not justify it. 
The public rejected potatoes. That's right. Rejected.
Hard as it may sound, the people didn't want to be told what to do. So, they did not take to potatoes.
Old Fritz was surprise…
