Why I Like People

 Could be a lot of reasons. But most of all, these-

They are real. Not fake (beyond the minimal amount needed to survive, I mean).

They can either talk or listen. Both are desirable traits, at different times, with the same people sometimes.

They want to keep in touch, and do.

They are not shy about sharing good or bad news-related to the first quality.

They have extra-curricular interests of some kind.

They are opinionated, in a good way. I am not really into politics or celebrities, but anything else interests me, listening to what people may have to say.. about education, health, poverty, learning techniques or experiments, technology in language I can understand, and entrepreneurial ventures that they have tried.

A world-view of some kind, about the world we live in, is always welcome. 

Predictive Analytics - My Take

 I have a model which predicts with at least 50 % accuracy, almost all behaviour. Patented? Not yet, but I may file soon. Try it on for size.

What's X doing at this point in time? He's commuting, plus staring at his mobile phone.

What's Y up to? He/she is eating, plus staring at his mobile phone.

What's Z doing? Driving, plus staring at his mobile. My Ola driver was actually doing this, for directions today. But non-Ola drivers also routinely do this.. therefore the prediction.

What's A doing on his date with his girlfriend? Also staring at his mobile.. while glancing at her occasionally, or pretending to be impressing her.

What's B doing? At a family dinner, staring at his mobile..

What am I doing? Yeah, you guessed it.. wrong! 

My model is 50% accurate at all times, coz people are doing whatever they are doing, plus staring at their mobiles.
