Smart Contract Tip 1

COURT APPLICABLE: Ensure that the courts applicable in a Contract in case of any dispute is either a Metro City or a Capital City of the state and not any small place court, and never a small court in the Town of other party as the same can be influenced and the Court Process can elongate with multiple appeals and appeals (Tarikh pe Tarikh can also be an end result). The above will ensure parity to both parties to a certain extent and can also make the overall dispute resolution smooth to a certain extent.

Work Life Balance

With technological advancement and specially in last 2 years post Pandemic outbreak the line between work and home has blurred. When kid I remember there were no mobile and Internet was not prevalent and hence once home people had time for Family and when at work they were fully focused on work, but slowly and steadily this lines started vanishing, and now we are on work emails even at mid night and on personal Whatsapp even during office hours. WE think, we can multi task, however it’s impossible for a normal human brain to multi task or multi focus, as a result we are neither 100% in work nor 100% at home when we should be. BURN-OUT is an IN THING now a days, Work Life balance trainings are conducted, but these trainings will not help us if we don’t help ourselves. We should have a simple funda in life “When at work, focus on work and family resides at home and not even in our mind, and when at home vice versa” (Disclaimer: Urgent/Emergency situations both of work and home needs to be taken care of irrespective to time or day). Simple tips to bring back this divide: 1. Have personal and official Mobile numbers separate 2. Have personal and official Whatsapp separate 3. Have different email apps on mobile for personal email and official email 4. When Working from Home, have a separate area marked for work, post office hours don’t go to that area of the house (may a small office setup with Table and chair) 5. Discourage personal phone calls in office as much as possible 6. Discourage official calls post office hours 7. Don’t send emails post office hours, or pre office hours or on holidays (if you work late for some reason, try to save mail in draft and send out in office hours) 8. Kill your urge to reply to official email post office hours if not urgent 9. Lead by example- Superiors and suborninates along with peers will follow suit. Happy Working…Happy Living.. 

Post Pandemic –Change in life

WE see that pandemic is ending (yes cases now come and go, but overall everything is open), and we see life gaining normalcy, but as we call in Hindu mythology “Change of Yug”, this no less than that, people lost lives unexpectedly, those who survived have gained different perspective of life that Money is not the ultimate object (even rich people died). There has been far reaching changes in our daily life: • We have doing most of the things now Digital, necessity is the mother of invention • We kept kids away from Mobiles and tablets just 2 years back, now see the change • Restaurants that opened for Breakfast to Dinner, now skipping Breakfast, as people working from home, so not many people (on comparative scale), comes out in morning. • Meeting travels at one point of time was a daily affair, now we are happy with Video Conferences. • Apps like Zoom and Teams were relatively unknown, now every smart phone has one or the other such app. • We cherished going to super markets for weekly/monthly house shopping, now these stores have come online on different models • We are now so much dependent of apps for house shopping that “10 -30 minute delivery” model has picked up in most major cities. • We planned going to restaurants on weekends, now restaurants are coming to our home daily through food delivery apps. • We went to Gym and Yoga centres, who thought they would ever go online, but now we have hosts of apps to support this need in affordable manner. • We now miss months before going to ATM for cash withdrawal as even the road side show polish person accepts digital payment. A Lot has changed and a lot will change further, however are all these good, I can say it is convenient, but no way its good, it will destroy our Social life (as in Pandemic Physical distancing with coined as Social distancing), it will destroy our physical & mental health. To save ourselves, use all things digital but also go Physical at times. Happy Physical living.
