  • Variety isn’t the solution

    As a small-time businessman/entrepreneur for so many years now, I can tell you this: variety isn’t the solution.

    Folks will continue to set up businesses in the domain of fashion, and just get consumed by the variety, irrespective of the result. That sort of ‘getting consumed’ isn’t a great thing.

    Solutions?

    Finding pleasure in organizing variety, for only then you will organize it well.

    Or build around a very restricted number.

    But fashion is all about variety no? Yes it is mostly. Not always though. The challenge is to think what it is that will count as ‘fashion’ and yet not burden you with variety.

  • Substack

    It feels to me Substack demands some ‘size’ of writing.

    I’ve had a hard time reading so much material, even though I am tempted to.

    You read books or you read these Substack articles? Or you don’t read anything?

    I’d rather spend time on building some hand-skills. Or improving my pull-ups and pull-up counts.

    Connections – additional details

    Coincidences – repetition

    Curiosities – single events

    Some expressions and relations extracted from Gary Klein’s book so far.

  • What bores me?

    What bores you?

    At different times, different things have bored me.

    Management Conferences bore me.

    Linkedin filled with mushy management write-ups and updates bore me.

    What bores you?

  • Calling it a TEXTBOOK

    Someone got inspired and created something that came to be recognized as TEXTBOOK.

    Or it just wasn’t a product of inspiration. It was just some piece of writing useful in some say and someone had to name it and so called it something as boring as TEXTBOOK. That someone perhaps knew that it had to carry a boring name.

    Boring book, boring name, TEXTBOOK.

  • Textbooks

    Spending years and years surrounded by textbooks and reluctantly reading them to score ‘marks’. What madness! Learning can change. Should change. Must change.

  • Push-ups for Dinner

    I had 209 of them. Felt good. Was quite hungry.

    Will try this on more evenings. Let’s see.

    Stay away from macro discussions on the internet. Stay away!

    It is so easy to slip as one scrolls through FB and Twitter feeds.

    Just read a compelling gripping expression: TRUTH CLAIM

    Truth-claim : Knowledge

    Wow!

    I won’t talk any more about it at the moment. Let this sink in.

  • Vibram’s Fivefingers Bikila

    Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you.

    Where they’ve taken me? Not far geographically. Largely in my neighborhood.

    In terms of feeling, very very far. May be sharpened all my senses, all across my body.

  • Sportwear

    Given the shapes of our cities, by and large it is hard for folks to adopt sports-driven activities. Am excluding ‘watching sports’ from the expression ‘activities’.

    What’s left to be adopted? Sportswear to add sportiness to activities and non-activities.

  • Invisible Obstacles

    Some expressions barely make sense to me. But for people to exchange ideas, expressions have to be ‘created’ and expressed in very short moments. And so, even if the expressions are not quite there in terms of what they try to capture and represent, they gain currency.

    For slow stubborn minds like mine however, they are invisible obstacles to overcome. The invisibility adds to the slowness and what makes them obstacles.

    Take an example: Civil Engineering.

    Now it feels like a simple thing to grasp, isn’t it. But not for me.

    Here’s what it means: Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including public works such as roads, bridges, canals, dams, airports, sewage systems, pipelines, structural components of buildings, and railways.

    You’d say what’s the big deal here. Right. No big deal, except that I’ve grasped and understood its meaning only now.

  • Data and Space

    Data spread and visible over space, not compressed and squeezed into disc drives.

    Computing using disc drives has really helped in tabulations. That’s that. Statistians’ fun. Or is it?
