The Grams’ Laws of execution (Strong Adult content Beware!!!)


Execution for us in India is always a challenge. We come up with the best of plans and designs and conjure up awesome things but fall woefully short, mostly in time to delivery or quality of the work. Oftentimes it is not necessarily for want of resources but of the deep execution DNA - the rigor, the micro detailing and passion for the "checklist" and structured reviews....

 Here are a few laws I came up with some years back to illustrate to my colleagues the importance of getting it done and may be nudge them towards better execution.

The name Grams' Laws was coined out of gratitude and in dedication to my ex-colleague, Grams. He is a brilliant IT engineer and a great visionary when it came to dreaming up a scheme for a software program/module. He would tirelessly present the minutest of details of how this piece of code would work and what it would do and how it would be the mother of all programs that would solve not only our but even some of world's problems😊. Needless to say, he would get everyone very excited. But when it came to delivering that dream program, Grams' would somehow uncannily go from one committed date to the next with no end in sight. Personally, Grams was the sweetest of guys, a swear word never ever came to his lips am sure and he was a gentleman par excellence in the way he spoke and behaved. The slightest hint of a double entendre would make Grams cringe and make him turn all red. 😁😊

 So it came to pass one summer afternoon that after several weeks of hearing Grams' plans without seeing any end result and at the height of my impatience, I decided to provoke Grams into action mode by outraging him with some balmy stuff bordering on the obscene. And thus were born the Grams' laws of execution. With no further ado, here are the laws. You may study them and disseminate them for wider use, if you deem fit 😊😉☺️

 Grams' Zeroth Law : You cannot make children by simply talking about sex!

 Grams' First Law : Too much of a foreplay is also a turn off..... at some point you gotta get into some real action.

Grams' Second Law : You cannot produce a baby in half the time through premature ejaculation. It still takes the time. So don't hurry the process!

 Grams' Third Law  : (relates more to post execution service) After the action, don't just roll over and go to sleep. Hold on to your partner and support in the post execution phase.

So these laws of Grams shall be written and so they shall be done/followed.

    It us indeed the best way of understanding the design, development, prototyping , piloting and positioning a product. And who disagree that the little flavour of our core desire ( unless we are complete Devine or Sadhus) likes to remember the course of action related to the actual act.

    I am fortunate to be groomed few years under the same laws by Dr SRS and so by some of our colleagues who are strictly following the Geams' laws till today....

    Interesting and catchy analogy to express the deficient implementation of great ideas. It is part of our DNA which we need to auto correct...

Inner Engineering Retreat at the Isha Yoga Centre

Inner engineering - had heard so much about this program that I finally succumbed to my curiosity. Am also in a transition phase in my career and thought I had done so much of outer Engineering - Education, Networking, continuous learning of techniques and tools so felt it is time for some Inner Engineering. A three and a half day investment seemed quite appropriate as well at the Isha Centre in a scenic setting near Coimbatore. Here are some key learnings and insights for the ones interested….. First, it is a completely new journey into a realm that is beyond our normal logical, questioning mind. It calls for a leap of faith into a new dimension not easily explained by the axioms we are so familiar with in day to day life. However, it is done in a very "secular", non denominational, non-religious manner without pushing you too much. So well packaged and marketed in my view!! Second, it is an intense program both mentally and physically. You are in the program 24 hrs...

R.E.S.P.E.C.T...

The title of this post may trigger thoughts of Aretha Franklin's classic number that arguably became the theme song of the American Feminist movement in the 60s. But we aren't far away from what I have in mind. But this is more about what happens to people in organisations. Read on.... Many of us, even though we refuse to accept, depend on our colleagues and subordinates to become successful. This is even more true when we come into a new organisation and are struggling to establish ourselves in the first few weeks. We will need specific help from our compatriots to get us started on the job or to show us the way in those incipient days. Many would expect our bosses to help but this seldom happens. So we are left to fend for ourselves and quickly find allies. This is where a vast majority of us fail to make it and feel frustrated in the first few weeks. We feel we have no authority or have not been empowered enough to do the job. What we fail to realise is that we have to b...
