friends at work


I have a white board in my office and sometimes i use it to ignite people into conversation. It is a strange approach but the way i do it is to ask one of my working colleagues to draw different things on the board and have people steping into my office to talk about who drew it and why it is there and then we start talking on who participated in the drawing and that last guy who added sometheing to the picture is back from his work or vacation leave.


As strange as it may sounds we always end up talking about work which is the not the objective of such conversatins.


To simplify the process, i started collecting board magnets from all over the globe and sticking them on the board or wall. This really helped idea continuity for newer drawings.
The new challenge was that i moved to an office where i cannot use the wall for my magnets to hang all my important and not so important things!!
So now i have to only use the board for my daily work, drawings, and magnets. this means optimization of magnet usage on the board.
Actually i can provide magnets to whomever want one and in any shape or size.

Tanzania Trip





Last January we were in a business gathering in Tanzania and we took a half day break to enjoy the country. it was really a beatiful place we visited famous beach and relaxed through out the rest of the day. it was like charging process for next day which we knew will be a looong working day.
I want to share with you the pictures of Amani beach and some local scenes from the country.

We went to this fascinating beach resort and enjoyed the amazing sea breeze. We glazed in the place that brought peace to everyone to the stage that we stop talking for sometime trying to capture the lovely scenes, fresh air, and warm sea waves. The way to the beach was full cocunut and Papaya trees









These are picutures of the lovely resort




This is a type of fruit that the monkeys usually eat. It was displayed at the entrance of the resort.

last visit to Amsterdam


I love Vincent van gogh and his really artistic paintings. I had a chance last week to visit Amsterdam but the only sightseeing i saw was the office where i had my meetings and the airport hotel where i stayed.

I was really running on a tight schedule and saw nothing of Van gogh. So, i went early to the airport just to visit Van gogh museum and ended up buying most of the souvenirs :)
