To begin this post with 'we all know..' is crime. The simple netizen I am, I live a simple life, not in a hole, but you'll definitely not find me in the cacophony of loud thought experts. "Where would you find a book on maid retention?" Some words in life are just priceless and the moments are worth sharing. a- the lady thought I was a store attendant - I need to shower on Sundays b- in my trash can Simple as I sound, I'm a very complex person, complex - not complicated. I love my own mess. While at work, dug deep in my thoughts on the next campaign, thinking of the best chocolate makers in the city, checking their website, draw inspiration for a new design idea, bubbling with energy overflow, I block my head over ' how to ensure your website has the best design ', ' how to get the best designs ', ' how to figure where to get the best designs '. The sheer volume of word salad. Words that never seem to make sense, even today,...

Quoting something from a brilliant book I've been reading; Man is fallible, men are less so. An entirely different philosophy about power and what should happen to it when you're confronted with complex, non-routine problems such as what to do when a difficult, potentially dangerous and unanticipated anomaly suddenly appears. The philosophy that you push the power of decision-making out to the periphery and away from the center. You give people the room to adapt. 

Chop Chop Chop!! "ruchi sssssssssssssssssshhhhh" "What?" "Umm...shhhh" "Well, okay. Whatever." ..and the Chop Chop Chop continues. I was too absorbed into my own thoughts to figure out where the "ssshhh"s have been coming from. For one, I was listening to music o full blast. Of course that meant the rest of the world can do whatever they want and I wouldn't care two hoots. "Say maybe, you're gonna be the one who saves me..." I sing my way to annoy the "ssshhh" ing person. BAh!   Although, apparently all of my actions and words were louder than usual, and more importantly, louder than necessary. For a couple of odd days, mom thought I had some hearing difficulties and this was my way of dealing with it. Heart-wreaking as it was, my colleagues seconded this, with a few attributing it to the constant music blast in my ears.  So, crazy as it was getting,  I resisted the opinions, that turned into judgemen...

For reasons unknown, the day started at quite a different note. The local music station screeching of loud afternoon music wasn't enough to keep me awake. To that sunny afternoon, I knew this was a start to an interesting journey - exciting or not - interesting. After many confusing directions to the 'right place' of my new job, I was pleasantly surprised at my choice. For moments to come, I was thankful I wasn't thinking yet. The people that made my place were nice warm people with gentle language and big hearts. That's how things are at first, was a warning from a familiar voice. Well, even if that's true, let me enjoy the days of fake warm big bigheartedness around. All this only to one prick. Someone who just didn't fit my earlier world of a fancy work place. This had to happen, it was after all a fairy tale. So here comes the Evil Witch, the Vampire, The Red Queen from Alice's Wonderland and the White Peacock from Kung Fu Panda's town. N...
