Master's Leelas -1

I am back to my master's leela's during my early days in the career. You can ready my post Master if you are keen to learn more about him.

Being a project manager and not knowing anything about the application that is being built inspire of multiple knowledge training sessions, one has to spend lots of time to make him understand what we are trying to explain.

As a software engineer we always have problems with the application. The application (web application) is suppose to schedule a resource and the bug reported was that there is some time zone problem.

So to understand and find a fix for the issue a brainstorming session was called and for obvious reasons master was also called.

He was in his own world thinking for a scenario that he can talk at the same time trying to pick up the discussion from what is going on..

The discussion went on with multiple scenarios and Master suddenly raised his voice to explain a scenario that stuck his mind.

Makalae! (children) being a web application, what happens if some one is travelling in a flight from India to US and in the mid way he is trying to schedule a resource?


Though we tried explaining him that the application is not intended to be used by a person who is travelling but he never accepted it. He in fact came up with the test case but we put him down that we cannot travel just for this.. Perhaps we can change the time zones in the computer to simulate a similar situation.

Believe me it really took so much effort to make him understand the scenario can be created by changing the time zone in the computer and we do not need anyone to travel for this sake.
