My first Guest Post!!!

Sometimes its fun to see yourself from a third person view. Awesome idea actually!
Thank you Anwesh Mishra for such wonderful post. I didn't edit any single word from the post, so its completely Anwesh Mishra's version of me!!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You meet different kinds of people in this world. Some are funny, some are smart, some are stupid, and some are well  . . not worth mentioning. But once, every now and then, you do come across a person who is none of these and, yet somehow, all of these. Yeah, well, that's Priyanka Nag to you.

A quick introduction to Ms. Priyanka, who of course needs no introduction in SICSR, as she's our little star. I think I could go on and on about why she's the star she is, but I guess most of you reading this would already know.

So what is this post about? Well, it's about Priyanka, from a third person point of view. Things you won't know about her, unless you spend a considerable amount of time with her. So here are my top 10 "facts" about her :
  • Priyanka Nag claims to be from Kolkata, but beware, she's not ! She's actually from a town just beside Kolkata, named Hooghly.
  • Priyanka is extremely hard working as is obvious from her star status. But she's an equal lazy person, and delays things indefinitely at times.
  • If you are walking with Priyanka, be very careful, as there will be times, she will be thinking about something or the other and will even walk 10 - 20 steps ahead, without realising that you have stopped.
  • She's always trying to eat her fingers. God knows why !
  • She loves getting wet in the rain, and on some rare occasions, you get to see her out-of-control-completely-drenced behaviour.
  • She is a big time female chauvinist who leaves no chance of discriminating between boys and girls.
  • Her favourite dialogue to her Mom is, "Aami teen bocchor theke Pune te acchi, Ma. Kichu hobe na." (I have been in Pune for 3 years now Mom. Don't worry).
  • She apparently loves puppies, but is scared of dogs.
  • She is very religious in nature and prays to her God for the well - being of everyone.
  • Her smile is one of the most genuine ones I have seen in a long, long time.
I guess that's about it. I know, Priyanka will kill me for this post, and I am even expecting some content to be removed owing to privacy issues. So if you are not reading the original piece, bad luck for you guys. Hope you guys enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it. Cheers !

Quarantining Alone - A Once in a Lifetime Opportunity

This Covid-19 virus has turned the entire world upside down. It has broken a lot of older habits and set a lot of new normals. Towards the early days of this lockdown, I had written a blog - An Extrovert in Isolation . The early lockdown days were extremely difficult for me. That was the phase of breaking old habits. An extrovert by nature, couldn't accept the sudden change of being locked alone inside my house. I am writing this blog again after being locked at home for more than 100 days now. Most of the older habits are broken by now. A few new habits have become a part of my new normal. What seemed to have been painful 100 days back has now turned to be blissful. Here, I am sharing my story of how quarantining alone has ended up being the greatest opportunity and a huge transformation in my life.  I have been struggling for years to fix my sleep patterns. Going to bed late and waking up late had been a habit for a really long time. My struggles to change this habit had

RASCI model - the responsibility assignment matrix

In the last few days, both at my workplace as well as while dealing with a few activities around me, I have realized the importance of implementing a better responsibility assignment matrix, to get things done in a less messed up way. A few months back, during some random conversation, a friend of mine had introduced me to the RASCI model, one of the responsibility assignment matrices. Wikipedia says that the responsibility assignment matrix 'describes the participation by various roles in completing tasks or deliverables for a project or business process.'  In simple words, for any project, if we can divide each person's role and responsibility, it not only ensures a better end product, but also saves the time, otherwise lost in discussions (which organizations like to call as meetings). A RASCI implementation ensures that each person is responsible for only and only the task assigned to him (or her) and will not need to interfere with another person's task, un

The stranger in Pain

I have just returned from Malaysia today. After a 3 months stay in Singapore, I could finally make it to Malaysia, Kuala Lampur. Just a small 3 days trip with my friends. On the second day of our trip, we had decided to visit the Genting Highlands. Early morning we started off for the adventurous trip, only three of us- Sree Lakshmi(my room mate in Singapore), Nishita(my co-scholar from SCMS-UG) and me. We boarded our bus to Genting. Sree and Nishi sat together and I sat alone, taking a window seat. After a while, an elderly uncle, Indian looking, of about the age of 60+, occupied the vacant seat next to mine.  He initiated the conversation by asking me which country I am from. After I answered that I was from India, he said he was from Sri Lanka. My thinking of him being an Indian was proven wrong. He was a very friendly man. After the initial ice breaking, we started speaking about ourselves and our lives. He told that he had finished conquering the entire globe with just some 4 co
