Once a prolific wizard of the kitchen, I have now
relegated my cooking skills to quickies like Maggi, cornflakes and my favourite
Wai Wai noodles - just heat the water for a minute or so, pour on the noodles y
ya :)
Nonetheless my love for food and the never to be
fulfilled desire of owning a restaurant, never to be fulfilled 'cos I dumped
the whole idea myself....too much work and involvement, and to top it all
stories like people in this business don't get to enjoy their own meals most of
the time.. I was like, then what's the whole point!!
Anyway, where were we, now this is a big problem with
me trying to pen my thoughts coz they tend to run scatter like children running
out of school, especially the ones in the local government school - the
happiness on their face so evident as if mocking the sanity of such polity as
to make education mandatory when there ain't no food at home, most cases not
even a home and no bloody damned opportunity…
Well, polity discussion later, where was I …
hmm… children, my restaurant, my love for food… yes, that one
-"mi amor por comida"
Ya, I tend to get talking in Spanish, its just a
bloody showoff thing, being in Latam and all you know. While the truth is that
in front of people actually talking in Spanish (back there in Latam, yeah ;)) … well,
in front of them my lips were sealed like the constricted ass of a constipated
moron… :P
Oh Lord, another tangent…
So I was talking about, and this time I remember. Ya I
do that you know, I remember stuff, some people call me sharp brain, brilliant
mind, even rare DNA and stuff. But I like to think of myself as just a bloody
freaking genius, eccentric, egocentric and simply amazing, and a bit.. err... a
big showoff, as the Spanish thing you see ;)
Ok, so what I remember is that my love for food and
the deprivation of pursuing it due to this global delivery IT model that I am
an irreplaceable part of (why irreplaceable you may ask, well 'cos m da
best...and a big showoff!! )
Anyway, it got me thinking and a wonderful thought
came to me. Isn't it all the same, the GDM and the restaurant business?
Its like the Project Manager is the Chef (that's me
ofcourse), the Technical Architect is the Sous Chef, the onsite co-ordinator is
the Maitre D', the Development team is a bunch of Cooks and the Implementation
folks are all Waiters!!
Nice way to look at things, atleast today in office I
will feel as if I am working in a restaurant :D
Btw, that's all I wanted to tell today…..about my
cooking, ambitions, school children, their opportunities, Latam & ofcourse
Spanish, GDM, my work and my DNA - keep watching this space!!
Later guys ;)
Yo tambiƩn me encanta la comida...!!
ReplyDeleteAnyway coming to your thoughts of opening a restaurant...its gr8 that you are looking at your IT stuff as your restaurant...coz after all you cant leave the IT sector...I mean without you they'll start making losses!!
Coming to children running out of school.....awwww....I remember this one time when I went to pick up my nephew from his school...they were all scattered like you said!!!
