Think like ..the role you play..!!

The conversations between Raikar and myself do take much serious note than usual lighter moments... and often bring to light some fresh discoveries on the issues..
This is one to share with you.. hope it is interesting..!
Someone poses a challenge to a techie on working with the existing capacity of ERP application when the size of business operation multifolds. The spontaneous answer that my techie friend gave instantly from the surface of his mind, as working with the ERP with limiting its operations to priority requirements and enhancing the scalability.
However, later bitten by the same inquisitiveness and to substantiate his stand on the issue he poses the same question to a Project Manager. The quick solution proposed by the PM in the lines of hiring a bunch of resources for managing the operations over and above the capacity that ERP may support..!!
Really unexpected..!!
Raiker and myself agreed over a conclusion..
we can think like a techie..
we can think like a designer..
we can think like a manager ...
But always on the surface of our minds.. we think like any one of the above roles... that WE play..!!!
So much is ..influence of the role we play..!!!

Latest commercial - Maruti - Punch line

Aren't there times when we think 'gosh! this should have been much closer to basics!!!'

They are quite often for me..! In similar lines there is a latest ad on Maruti Car, in which much advanced features of a space vehicle are highlighted and goes dumb on a question 'kitna deta hai?'

Keeping things simple is so difficult in today's time. Keep a house clutter free.. free of so many consumer electronic goods, free of flashy interior designs, so many options to purchase a single product in super malls, to choose among so many service providers for telephones, broadband, mobile phones, so many channels, D-T-H providers..so many credit cards, debit cards...

Banking is simplified.. banking charges are complicated
Entertainment is abundant...choices are complicated
Families are shrunken...keeping up the relationship is complicated
Friends are many... meeting place is limited to facebook
Investment options are abundant.. tax structure is complicated
Jobs are abundant..performance is complicated
Diseases are the same...treatment is complicated

Especially, the last one is so true...when we go along with a health insurance card to a corporate hospital..!!
