Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I was at a fairly high end tailor today, and the sheer beauty in the art of crafting a perfect fitting suit is unparalleled.

When I see a true master make the right knots and use chalk to measure on fabric, the beauty of peak human skill emanates from each motion.

It made me realise that we might be doing something extremely interesting in our day jobs but it is extremely hard to showcase true human mastery in it.

Suddenly, it dawns on you that although white collar jobs are paid well commensurate to the value they create, we seldom obtain skills that exhibit a similar level of craftsmanship.

There is indeed true beauty in the creation of the perfect suit. 

Somehow, it is a reminder for us all that builders are the ultimate value creators. Enablers ensure value enrichment but you can’t enrich something until the genesis of value.

And it is the death of human ingenuity if we become glorified file movers.

Why are some examples of human craft that makes you awestruck? What are your thoughts on this post? 

Would love to hear you all out.

Decent sweetness, very different from regular desserts, and nicely priced. 
I just had one (remembered to take picture when I was half way into it 🫠). 
Costed Rs 136 (alongwith the cream roll - don't eat that. It's bad)

Not sponsored obviously, just sharing love for chocolate

If anyone craving a chocolate dessert, try Baker by Chance's Chocolate Almond Tart

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I'm a lawyer, 2 years into it, I love my profession, however I have also developed interest in baking. I want to pursue a professional career in baking. I'm confused about leaving my present profession for baking. I also cannot afford to do side baking business as my profession demands my full time. I'm confused of what to do.

What's your current food obsession?

I'm a fitness chaser who can't control what I eat. So I do okay. I want to restart my fitness journey but a bit structured this time. So what's your fitness regime that I can jump into?

Also what's your opinion on fitness tracker? I have my eye on Garmin watches but worried about their support.

Mildly fit people in GV, what's your fitness regime?

 Pretty fit and the last body checkup showed everything is within range 
  
 1) gym 4 days a week. Not messing around here, I’ve been working out with the same trainer for 5 years 
  
 2) 1.5 scoops of protein shake post workout 
  
 3) no meditation/yoga/pranayam because I find it immensely boring  
  
 4) no sugar with tea/coffee. Skip breakfast. 2 rotis and chicken for lunch. 2 rotis dal and chicken for dinner. I’m a south Indian so rice once in a while is a must  
  
 5) full day fast once a month  
  
 Now I have a decent body and super proud of it  
  
 Good luck homie
