When to "bite" ???

Went to attend a ceremony today. A "Upanayana" or a "Thread Ceremony" conducted by Bramhin families.

Being from a different place, my knowledge of the rituals and the kind of food that would be available was very limited. But 2 hrs of Bangalore drive has already made all of us hungry. We were waiting for the food.

The food turned out to be just superb ! Amazing food and uncountable items.

A very hearty, big meal ! Right when I was thinking, I am really full - came the most Yummy part (the south Indian deserts). And no matter how much I wanted them, I could not eat much. So are the people with me, who were unaware of the menu and sequence of what is coming.

While the locals, who have seen similar ceremonies and who liked this part, waited and kept enough space to enjoy the most delicious part of the meal

Now, let me switch all of you to a different story ! This is lil more contemporary corporate !

Its been a while, line and middle managers are very nervous and anxious about "Road Map". They know they can do more. At the same time, not sure if they sign up for stuff which may not be interesting.

But every passing day without clarity, the resolve drops and they do sign up bits and pieces. Not too happy about that unseen roadmap promise which is not materializing.

Sr. management has repeatedly said, keep a free pool of "substantial size" and have trust. It will help us take on bigger share of the road map, no matter what it is and when exactly it is coming.

But that "freeing up'" is not happening. And no big road map is showing up, up front to force a "free up".
