Vijit's Opinion

In August, 2016, I had initiated the Bachelors of Business Management course. To pursue it along with work was always a challenge. At least 2 previous similar attempts had been abandoned and this is the only attempt where I have come this close. There is no looking back now. It is not easy as I have set myself a stiff goal to achieve. To stay motivated and to stay focused on my goal, I have decided to track my remaining journey towards achieving my goal on this blog.  I know that I still have the can do attitude that I had mentioned about 11 years back on this very blog. With dedicated efforts and Shiva's blessings I am going to achieve this target.

  It is Day 7 of the Daily Doodle challenge and was lucky to attend event Meraki at my daughter's school.   The logo above is also unique. It reads Meraki even if you read it upside down. Until today I was under the impression that it would be a small event restricted to the auditorium or school ground. I was proved wrong. It was a grand event and almost every classroom in the school was utilized for it. Ranging from Life skills, robotics, cubotics, social causes, hobbies and so much more. I was there for over 3 hours and did not realize the passage of time. Even after spending so much time, I could not visit every section. My doodle of the day captures just limited things I observed and experienced through the presentations.  One section was about realizing that you are not a limited being like the caterpillar but someone who has the potential to be a beautiful butterfly. There was one classroom highlighting the importance of me time. ...

Today is Day 5 of the Daily Doodle Challenge and as part of that I tried my hand at sketch noting. Sketch noting typically is used to write visual notes for capturing important points from a meeting or presentation. It is also used to capture one's experience. It could be a vacation or it could be a learning experience. It is said that sketch noting can actually help one to retain more information that plain notes. The reason being that our brain tends to love images more and remembers it better. Since I did not have much time to think through an experience or a meeting to come up with sketch notes, I chose to create a timeline of the poems I wrote on this blog instead. I will try to come up with more sketch notes in the near future. That's it for today. I will be back again tomorrow.

  Tenga Kola Manga Tholi as a title would be a tricky one for non malayalees, but any malayalee (People born in Kerala or having roots in Kerala, who speak the malayalam language) would definitely had a smile on their face immediately after reading the title of this blog post. For non malayalees I will definitely explain it. Before that I would like to say thank you to everyone who visited my blog yesterday to check out my Day 3 Doodle . Few of you have appreciated it by replying to my Whatsapp status and some of you have liked my tweet with the blog post. I hope it did inspire you to think about trying out something that you have been putting on the back burner due to your false belief that it is difficult or too late to try.  Now coming back to the blog title. Tenga Kola Manga Tholi literally translates to bunch of coconut and peel of mango. However, actually it is a malayalee way to ridicule someone who is uttering some nonsense. Now wh...
