Mother of All Engineers!

If I ask you to imagine a person whom you would covet with the title 'The Mother of all Engineers', what attributes do you think that person should have?
--know computers and mobile operations
--have logical thinking
--communication
--ability to foresee any event
--organise and plan
--estimate and negotiate
--questions and gets to the root
Above mentioned were generic. And expected from any engineer. But for the title to hold good, more attributes are needed.
--ability to judge based on size, location, dimensions-- Mix of Architect n Civil (engg)
--quick fixes to any wiring-- Electrical n electronic engg
--easy with fuzzy logic--what if washing machine breaks down?
--knows about machines and usage and quick fixes -- mech engg
--hands on hammer, screwdriver, driller

So the key ingredients from major streams.
Do you think missed out IT? Anyone knowing computers is an IT engg. I'm one myself;)

Oh this title in addition requires one more attribute... A good IQ and General Knowledge(it's in dearth these days).

Now put together all the above and think of whom you can attribute this title to??

Think think.... You don't have to get too far.

If you ask me...Mothers!
Yes they are literally the Mother of all engineers.

Not kidding. Re-read and map the attributes.
I can bet you will be able to add a few more.

Note: I have seen my mother-in-law confidently opening the washing machine and working with the wires. It's then that I used this term for her..
'Mother of all Engineers'.

Strategic marketing - Lessons from a Bhelpuri wala

Most of the time while getting back home I join a friend of mine who drops me at a metro station. In my second or third visit itself I noticed a bhelpuri wala. This man is not like other local market tapri wala. He was clean and seemed well organized. He had 4 plastic covers, each containing onion , tomato, coriander and green chillies (all uncut). Highlight were the fresh lemons. He had papers folded like cones. A box with masala and a cover with loads of mixture. Like any office goer returning home, I too was slightly hungry for some munching. What better than bhel. I liked the way he customized my bhel by checking for the quantity of chilly and lemon. I liked it so much that I got one more for my sis. Thus began the love for bhel. One day it so happened that my husband was about to pick me up and I was waiting just next to the same bhel guy. I was an observer that day. In a span of 20 mins this guy served around 8 customers. Interesting! I began talking to him(shhh...it was me

Book Review- The Sialkot Saga by Ashwin Sanghi

When one of the best authors churns out his thoughts where fiction is mixed with history and also has a philosophical angle, we get a book which is an absolute page Turner! Again I will go by the attributes my review would be based on: Language: Impeccable is the word. Story and Pace: It's like a watching a movie where you can't wait for the suspense to unfold. You feel what the characters feel. Emotions, courage, power everything is demonstrated beautifully. There was one point I was questioning the need for exploring Hastinapur angle, but in the end I did get my answer. Pace of the story rarely slows down. One gets to witness various events, starting from India's Independence to the Mumbai attack. Political angle given to characters gives an opportunity to the readers to have a glimpse of India's political change, right from Indira Gandhi's time to Modi's. It is indeed a point to think on how GK(bookish one) can rather be taught in a story fo

I AM- Proud to be a woman

I have been in existence, Forever and ever. I have seen it all, I'm unstoppable like a river. I know what happiness is, And I know what is misery. I'm not the one to fall, I can unravel life's mystery. I'm the petite girl, You would want to hold. Watch it! Hurt me, You will see my side untold. I can make you smile, And I can cry with you. I'm like the sunshine, And I'm like the dew. I'm the Kali, Oh so fierce. I'm also the calm Sita, Whom you revere. I'm the one about whom, A lot is said and written. Praise me or Criticize me, I am Proud to be a WOMAN!!! Regards, Srilekh
