Brainstorming for Khaki Tours

I love brainstorming sessions. Whether I am a participant or a facilitator. So, when, Khaki Tours invited me over for a Brainstorming session - I jumped into it with both feet. The session generated a whole bunch of ideas - as you might imagine - what with people passionate about the idea of heritage evangelism. And with Bharat Gothoskar (the man behind the idea of Khaki Tours itself) fine tuning the aspects of the session in his own creative ways, it was probably the second best way to spend a rainy Saturday morning (other than being a heritage walk). 
The venue (Ministry of New) was charming. The session structure, the timing, the people (everyone with unique skills and passion) - were energetic. Room filled with post -its, charts, presentations - and yes - with plans to takeover the world!
Here is seeing this start up grow in all the million direction it has plans in...

No conferences

Decided not to attend any conferences this year. Atleast not the typical ones I have often ranted about here. Will be both choosy and intentional about which ones to attend.  The ones to attend are the ones put up by practitioners of a craft. The rest is marketing one way or other. 

And the unconference happened

 Most conferences have an agenda. No, not the stated agenda, but an agenda of marketing, airtime to sponsors, ensuring the past and future customers are invited, of ensuring that the "stars" of the industry are invited and attention showered of them. All in all it is a your scratch my back, I scratch your back syndrome. Some of these become cliques and claques and therefore the real point behind a conference is lost. And then there is the unconference - organised and run by the alumni of the ISABS ODCP program. And as the name suggests, this is truly an un-conference organised by the alumni, for the alumni. No funders - except the alumni themselves. No sponsors. Just the team.  I havent seen a more tastefully organised conference (yes, its an unconference).  To begin with - the location - not a typical star hotel, but an outdoorsy place. The food - simple. The welcome - personal. It was like a homecoming. The setting was warm and welcoming. It was a smaller conference. Ju...

The power of jotting down ideas

 Long long ago, I always used to carry a small letterpad with me. To jot down ideas that might occur. Over the years, it has changed from a notepad to evernote to google keep, but the power of jotting down ideas is immense.  Small ideas go into keep.  Anything to be quickly typed goes into whatsapp as a self message.  Bigger or better formed ideas go into Google docs A few are still written, but I manage to copy them into a digital format sooner rather than later.  But the power of jotting down is immense. My google keep is an encyclopedia of ideas - most of which may never get implemented.
