On the 21st, our wait finally ended and a little angel arrived. We have named her Prisha, meaning “God’s Gift”.
Sharing a few pictures taken on the day of her birth.

A list of list managers
There are a large number of list / task managers that it needs a list for itself. Seems like every one wants to create a task manager, and who could blame them? The only reason I looked up all these task managers is because I had an itch to write one myself.
30 tasks, to-do, project, collaboration, goals management tools

What colour are your glasses?
Stephen R. Covey in his landmark book “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” defines 9 possible centres that people have:
- Spouse-centred
- Friends / Enemy-centred
- Family-centred
- Money-centred
- Work-centred
- Possession – centred
- Pleasure-centred
- Church-centred
- Self-centred
In other words, these are the glasses we see the world through. All decision making is coloured by your bias towards one or more of these. But none of these are worth centring ones life around, they all blur the view. So he suggests taking off these glasses and seeing the world in the light of the principles that you value. If one has a mission statement and knows the principles he values most, then making decisions is easier.

Role Playing
As hinted in the previous post I will take a departure from my general blogging topics and talk about life. Let me talk about something that troubled me and still slightly troubling me. 
I have been under a lot of mental and emotional stress lately, and did not know the reason. But with a lot of introspection and a couple of very good reads, I was able to find the root cause of this and am in a much better state of mind. Ask my wife 😉 I will like to share this to spread the good words that helped me.
So, what was wrong?

Introducing life
Life is not something that happens between work, work is a small part of life. So I am adding a category on “Life”. Hope this will increase the work-life balance of my blog, more on this later.
Though the number of posts under this category would be less, it just means there is more to life than I would like to share on a public medium.
Here’s to life…
