Everyone sees what they want to see.. I am being seen as a daughter, a sister, a would-be wife, a woman.
I have no problems being seen in different roles, but why does it happens sometimes that people forget that i am an individual first and that i might have my own say in issues relating closely to myself?

The Difference between Focusing on Problems and Focusing on Solutions
Case 1
When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (ink won't flow down to the writing surface).
To solve this problem, it took them one decade and $12 million. They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down,underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C.
And what did the Russians do...?? They used a pencil.
Case 2
One of the most memorable case studies on Japanese management was the case of the empty soap box, which happened in one of Japan's biggest cosmetics companies. The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soap wrapper that was empty.
Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to the assembly line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department.For some reason, one soap box went through the assembly line empty. Management asked its engineers to solve the problem.
Post-haste, the engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution monitors manned by two people to watch all the soap boxes that passed through the line to make sure they were not empty. No doubt, they worked hard and they worked fast but they spent a whoopee amount to do so.
But when a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed with the same problem, he did not get into complications of X-rays, etc., but instead came out with another solution. He bought a strong industrial electric fan and pointed it at the assembly line. He switched the fan on, and as each soap box passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of the line.

Away..
Sometimes I just want to pick up my shoes and run.. Run away from this maddening crowd.. Run away from responsibilities.. Run away from expectations.. And just be me..
Associative memory
A chinese person's view : All Indian faces look almost the same..
Isnt it facinating how our brain works.. I remember reading an article about associative memory, which is so beautifully illustrated by this similar faces perception.. Our brain associates new patterns with what it has in store. New faces, new patterns.. When he looks at us, he asociates all of us with an Indian face.. It takes time to register finer patterns of a new race in memory..
And whats more fascinating is the fact our brain doesnot easily get confused with different people, even when we might meet so many new people frequently. This is beacause of this associative memory we have got. And probably not many people know why we have this kind of memory.. This is because of the massive parallel neural network we have inside our head.. The best computer ever made.. When we do memory improving problems, we are making our neurons learn how to associate quickly and to work together in a better possible way.. not a single parallel computer is more efficient than a mere 1% of our brain.. These neurons work together in parallel to compare new patterns and old ones, and provide us back with an instant recognition of a pattern.
Nature always does everything in best possible way.. Nothing beats it!!

Yo Salsa!!
Salsa is really so much fun :) I was surprised at my partner's dedication to learn this dance.. I usually take small breaks in between, but he could go on without a break even though he is learning this dace for the first time..
It is a rule in salsa that the male partner leads the dance, but its really so tempting to tell him to do this step next.. I have to literally control myself not to lead him :)
Update : After i saw this post on mah blog, i just loved the pic and this shade of red over black background..
