Use or not to use

If I say ‘yellow construction hat’, what would you associate with?! A hunky builder? Or some boringly unimaginative people may think of health and safety?!! I saw it in completle contrast! It was worn by the dainty construction worker lady and worn upside down. She found it more useful to carry it like clay pot with water only she put some brocken tiles, any objections with that? See, gadget is something that comes handy, now if required this can very well be used to serve sambhaar or tadka daal after a good rinse in lunch hour. And 'Improvization' bhi koi chiz hoti hai.

By the same token you can ignore usefulness of a gadget if it hinders your work. Living in Diary and time obsessed Britain, first gadget that we all must adhere to is clock, isn’t it?! Not in India. I have started a course ( i will write about it later ) and first thing my coach loud and clear said that wrist watch is the worst thing to have it on you when you are in work mode. Never look at time when you have goal in front of you. For example, if you have to capture market in young people working in call centres than don’t expect to get any response from them during the day when they are sleeping, instead put up stall when they have lunch time break by American time in middle of the night. They will happily come and spend few minutes looking at your products. Not wearing watch does not mean you reach late in morning either, anyone reaching late has to be punished in sweet way. 10 minutes and you bring chocolate, 20 minutes and you bring proper mithaai and so even sponsor lunch for entire class. It pinches when in middle of the class your teacher sends you out to get some food but then it is compensated by gratitude and wah – wah done by rest of peers. As soon as one has to shade some rupees they are careful next time!
