Bangalore Service Jam 2013

Well, we hosted it again.

It was double the fun and double the action. You can say that this time too, there was much that happened and made it bigger and better. We had close to around a 100 participants. Adam and Markus had come over... though a little late. We as a team had done its comeback and together we do stand quit invincibly.

I had much to learn this time as well, the model was slightly different from the last one. From a free event to a paid one, though its sounds much too easy its actually too much pain to handle for a free event.

The best part was for me in the overall game was the whole new learning area. I have been in service design thinking for now three years, and have core only practised it in India for around 1.5 years. You can say that there is both lack of opportunity and purity of practise in India.

So, Adam's small sessions and the time I could get to have a chat around with him and even Markus, were quite a revealing thing for me. Service design truely has a lot of potential.

Maybe I will compile all of these together in a sequence of thoughts rather than just express it out in the random order that I can think it out.

Just to keep a memory of things.. here are all the links associate to the Jam this year.

I have seen quite a few jugaad and that really makes me think how well we really do these smaller inventions through simple things that make our lives better without much. The sheet of paper / cardboard redirects air to the driver and that his way of getting fanned without draining the battery or eat fuel. Just one of the brilliant example of jugaad.

This is not right.

The most important gift that I have received from all the fields that I have ever put my feet into is design. It gave me that feeling that no other field gives me. To sum it up, its this. This is not right. Bold. Italics . Underline. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. This feeling has taken me a longer way than any other. I try thinking into the deeper meaning of things and I feel every subject sort of gives you this one question that you pursue and make a career into. My managements brothers tell me, this is not managed right. My fashion friends tell me, this doesn't look right. But my design friends tell me, this is not right. Or maybe even, this is not designed right. Till some decades back, this is not designed right meant aesthetics. But now, it just more than just that. And when it left the threshold of my thoughts, and I couldn't tolerate more of this, I ended up doing something I thought I would never do. I started up. This is my experimentation ground. This is where I think th...

Boston Blast

The media always plays itself to get the most TRP. The game is always been that. I often think that its not for us to decide what is more a loss but its quite apparent in the numbers that Boston is nothing compared to the massacre that was done at Palestine, Iraq and the likes. I wonder not what the media does, I often worry only on why us, the citizens of the world don't see the truth more often.
