Pani-puri

Image
This is really a miracle dish, which I have loved since I ate it for the 1st time. My chat-shop visit was never complete without pani-puris.  Many times, I went to chat shop only for pani-puris & never thought how much I ate, but still at the age of 34 I am still unsatisfied with pani-puris. Again & again in my life, it has proven my love for pani-puris, by having craving. Latest is lockdown, when we couldn’t get puris for pani-puris, we planned for making the puris at home (didn’t make it, due to some reason), but had the highest level of craving for it. Just to tell all, after 55 days, I had pani-puri at home. But seriously it was divine. Around the globe, pani-puri is made only in India. No were in the world you can get it. When in any 5 star hotels, there are Indian street food festival it is very difficult to explain non-Indians.   They explain it as “water balls with hot sauce”. Recipe – as I prepar...

Also, there is considerable reduction in electricity, water, internet usable. As in future, we will need to avoid group meetings, cabins or conference room will be locked. So, the AC, light, fan use will be reduced in turn electricity bill will be reduce. This can help companies to save some money in this period of global recession. This can continue if company ask employees to do WFH in future too. This lockdown period has given some confidence to employers that people can work from home with better efficiency. There has been growth in productive figures for almost all consultants. There are some other reasons to this, as flexibility is more. No te...

Resuming Office after Lockdown

     This is very critical topic for all of us to think & follow. Also, we need to consider common human nature & also Indian people mentality. I had few conversations with many people, newspaper articles, online articles to understand what everyone needs to be done to get back to office & start the office. I am mostly thinking about the company which works online or with computers. This might not work much for any position or company, where physical presence is needed. Few points are – 1.        Company should allow only 30 to 50% people to work from office. 2.        Creating Bubble a.        If people needed in office, then create bubble / group & do not mix those groups. Like with 33% allowed in company, then make 3 groups. Allow only 1 group to work in office for 1 week & then change the group. b.        No one person fro...
