		<title>Conductor, Coach, Commander</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is a difference between Information Technology (IT) and established industries in terms of maturity in operations. Producing IT outputs is still treated as a knowledge-intensive activity, while in other industries the production is labor-intensive. IT is slowly moving from knowledge-intensive to labor-intensive, and innovations such as software factory model are trying to replicate the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Architecture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Years ago, I architected a house. Being a Civil Engineer by qualification architecture is something that I was always fascinated with. Today I architect software, at least that's what they say I do.
Architecture is one of the most misused terms in today's software industry. There is an architect for everything - one for user interface, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sweet Dreams Little One</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It's hard for us to conceive,
Why on earth you had to leave.
But if we listen, we'll hear God say,
"Here is where he at peace shall lay".
You’re already in beautiful heaven above,
And can see nothing but God’s love.
Even though we may not understand,
We can be sure Jesus is holding your hand.
You were the most beautiful baby, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beta</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I built a website that used beta version of an open source software. Obviously, I ran into problems and I had to contact the community to get help. One response I got was that the software is in beta and should not be used in production. I replied back, "my site is in beta [...]]]></description>

		<title>Investing in Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Time is money. It's much more than that. Money if not invested shrinks over a period of time. Time vanishes.
Like money, time is another resource which is limited and cannot be accumulated. Investment typically converts a resource into another form, which can be preserved, accumulated and grown - look at how money is invested. In [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Introspection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is Google's Marissa Mayer, how she went on building her team. "I like to hire people who have two traits. They’re smart, and they get things done."
That comes from Joel Spolsky's The Guerrilla Guide to Interviewing. Today I just asked myself again - am I getting things done smartly?

		<title>Certain Uncertainties</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been a long time since I posted last. These were busy days with a lot of changes happening in the personal and work lives. I have written about changes earlier, but this time I observed something different. A change unsettles, it creates uncertainty, ambiguity and at the core of it these uncertain, ambiguous [...]]]></description>

		<title>As Late As Possible</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The early bird gets the worm! Common wisdom suggests to get things done as early as possible. Everyday I see people - tuned to this wisdom - rushing on the road, into the elevators, around the vending machines, fretting and fidgeting about the seconds lost. I used to have a manager who was obsessed about [...]]]></description>

		<title>No Risk, No Glory!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During a recent discussion on risk management, I suddenly realized that we tend to see risks too negatively. We were trying to enumerate risks and it was easy for everyone to come up with negative risks (threats) and not so in exploring positive risks. May be we do not want to call it risks; we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Time and Talent</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The two basic questions in any project/task are - are we doing it in time, using the estimated/allocated effort? Most of the important metrics are then derived out of these parameters - time &#38; talent, as I like to call it. Time &#38; talent are curiously unique while being the very basic parameters of any [...]]]></description>
