Colour theme in metro and a mother's perspective!

Yet another addition to my list of "mother's perspective" on System Engineering!

Today we traveled in Pune Metro along with kids. At first, I really liked that idea of maintaining colour theme inside the train based on the line's name, like purple line trains in purple color and blue line trains in blue colour.

But at the end, I had to hold my head when kids wanted to travel in the train with their favorite colour theme, but not in the one that actually goes to the required destination!

I wouldn't have thought of this use case, even if I myself was designing those system requirements related to colour theme!

Chandrayaan 3 - India's Landing on Moon

The joy of seeing moon is changed forever. The Indian Flag is up above there, standing tall, signifying the momentous achievement of Team ISRO.

India is indeed on the moon. Equally pleasingly, moon is in many Indian households tonight.

My joy multiplied, when I showed my 5 year old boys the Chandrayan-3's soft landing, and we together made the below drawing. Hope we will one day witness the first Indians stepping on moon. #Gaganyaan.

Learning from sport - Cricket World Cup 2023

As India is gearing up to host the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023, I go back to my memories from the first ever world cup I watched, back in 1999. And that SA vs AUS semi-final has had a long lasting impact!

Hansie Cronje was the first "captain" I remember admiring. There is this dialogue in a movie made on his story - "You do not get 100% better by doing one thing 100% better. You get there by doing a hundred things 1% better".

That's so true for any sport, prominently for a team sport and equally for any individual or a team.

Irrespective of what later happened in Hansie Cronje's life, my admiration towards his captaincy has remained intact. Mistakes happen; traits stay.

Viral effect - ParenthoodDiaries #58

 Irony but that's how it is!

The moment I get to know that kids are recovering from viral infection is also the same moment I realize I have started showing its symptoms. Masks are the new myth, unless used aptly!

Runny nose is the relevant emoji to be used to represent "rainy season"!
