To say that I've been really busy would be an understatement of sorts. It's been quite crazy for the past few weeks. Hence the blog hasn't seen much update. It's been a really happy situation. I think, I thrive in the 'busy' environment as long as I'm with a good team. The past weekend, the annual musical fund raiser we organized came to a close and it was a blast. Everything was so well orchestrated, it was amazing to work with such a cohesive team. I had heard several stories of people working with fantastic teams and how great it felt to be a part of such a team, and I got to experience it first hand. It truly makes a world of difference to be a part of such a team. In the absence of such cohesion, much of the energy will be spent in stakeholder buy in and that's what primarily leads to a lot of arguments and eventually stress.
On a totally unrelated topic, I saw this video of a lingerie fashion show that was held in India. (I'm too lazy to look for the link now). What amazed me was the dichotomy of the situation. The show was organized by a household name sponsor ( Grihalakshmi or something like that ). The sponsorship banner and other advertisement stuff all had an 'Indian theme' , fonts, colors etc( The multi-lingual setups as well) and then there were all these middle aged women in the audience trying to control their kids roaming around with bhelpuri and other snacks and then there are these beautiful looking models displaying all the happening stuff in the lingerie world on the ramp. It was so hilarious. So it's these models on the ramp surrounded by all the 'aam janta' people as in a Mela of sorts. Yep, that's probably what it was. Some one sneaked in the fashion show in a Mela :)
