Heaven's in the backyard: On being a man of your word
http://heaveninthebackyard.blogspot.com/2013/04/on-being-man-of-your-word.html
Heaven's in the backyard. Sunday, April 28, 2013. On being a man of your word. Throughout my time in the army, I’ve faced many experiences where my superiors never lived up to their words. I'll explain through examples. Similarly, back in OCS I had some questions regarding the weapons we were being taught to use. I had asked another superior the definitions of terms like ‘maximum effective range’ and he told me he’d get back to me. He never did. April 28, 2013 at 5:20 PM. Great post. Thats the power ...

This life is lovely, dark and deep; I have promises to keep; I have lots to learn before I sleep! All about learning. All about life! Thursday, February 12, 2015. Making your IDs say I Do! In continuation with my previous post, where I had discussed the IDentity Crysis, in this post, I am trying to address the issue of Instructional Designers not staying long enough! This class of people want to grow either in terms of number of people reporting or in terms of money or both! The other way is to reconcile...

It has now been more than a year of me noticing a very worrisome trend on my social media timeline - the trend of sever partisan attitudes. Here is a simple algorithm that will easily predict how a partisan person will react for the 4 situations that occur. For the Party / Person you support. 4 If the party / person y...

Lots to learn: The IDentity Crysis
http://lots-to-learn.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-identity-crysis.html
This life is lovely, dark and deep; I have promises to keep; I have lots to learn before I sleep! All about learning. All about life! Monday, February 2, 2015. Yes, you read that right! It is about Identity of Instructional Designers (IDs) and it certainly makes me want to cry! When companies decide they need IDs, one is never sure, what it is they want to get done from these IDs. So, before getting into the whole crisis thing, a little bit on Instructional Design. What is it? Of knowledge and skill more.

This life is lovely, dark and deep; I have promises to keep; I have lots to learn before I sleep! All about learning. All about life! Monday, December 1, 2014.

Which brings us to the next item in the LMS implementation - courses. The real impact of an LMS really comes to the fore, only when content is created specifically for self-paced learning, which is packaged ...

Heaven's in the backyard: Art of listening
http://heaveninthebackyard.blogspot.com/2013/10/art-of-listening.html
Heaven's in the backyard. Sunday, October 6, 2013. There are so many amongst us who don't know what it means to listen. To listen is to go beyond yourself. To listen is to truly be humble. And for me, there was nobody to listen to me. And then my boss. Whenever I had requests (more like disagreements), none were heard. Words would be heard as sounds waves registered. But my intent was never understood. 'No' was a common answer. "To hell with all this listening", I sometimes thought...Listening is trul...

Heaven's in the backyard: Calmness of the Buddha
http://heaveninthebackyard.blogspot.com/2011/11/calmness-of-buddha.html
Heaven's in the backyard. Wednesday, November 30, 2011. Calmness of the Buddha. There's something very peculiar about Buddha faces. If you happen to google "Buddha face", you'll see why. But then again, you probably won't google it, so I'll do it for you. Here it is! About 2 weeks back, I was very intrigued by this perpetual calmness. I decided to try this out. Much to my surprise, the trial was an absolute disaster! I took some time to read about Buddha, and I discovered some important facts that confir...
