The importance of disconnect


The other day i received an email from our partners in B'lore, followed by a phone call by Apurva. He was telling me to do a host of things, it said, create a team name, create a badge, logo, icons and dont know what. I managed to decode what he said after digging an email from the slumbers.

It read, exactly what he was saying. In 30 minutes we created everything which was required. I was particularly impressed with my designer friend's effort, which paid off in 10 minutes. it's a different case that I had to spend another 30 minutes to explain him what exactly i was looking for.

The subject was on "Zen", later I discovered that zen philosophy believed that nirvana is actually possible in this life. We just need to streamline our activities and lead a more disciplined life. Zenist's also believed in dropping an illusionary vision and live in a real life.

Zen or no Zen, i personally feel that disconnecting from the real world for sometime at regular intervals is important for every one to introspect and take right decisions.
