Random thoughts.


  • I am doing a 20-article challenge this month. I am going to write atleast 20 articles this month( I am not publishing them yet) . It's just day 3, and I am on track, with three articled written  :) 
  • We've been trying to introduce colours to our son . We started out with Red, Yellow and Green. Practiced identifying these colours with him for a week, only to discover something hilarious. He didn't learn to associate the colour Red with the word 'Red'. Rather he's learnt that Red is always the first colour, regardless of what colour we actually show him first :) 
  • A puzzle someone asked me recently that I had fun solving- 10 people are seated in a room. they are curious to figure out the average salary of the people in the room, but no one wishes to disclose their salary. All they have with them is a simple calculator. How do they figure out the average salary in the room? 
  • Hope everyone is safe and doing ok. I am relatively unaffected by the pandemic, but I feel sorry for so many others - people losing their jobs, students graduating this year who will struggle to find employment, startups with inadequate funding to last them several months. so many people in the services industries not having customers... Just feels so wrong..

Oh wow. My favourite blogger has started writing again.

1. Articles on what topic?
2. Ah kids. They will re-introduce you to the world in a way you wouldn't have thought possible.
3. Stand in a ring. Everyone adds a random numbers in a sane range and remember the number they punched. In round 2, add actual salary and subtract the random number they typed. After round 2, divide by N.
