Project "Mango"

I was chopping mangoes in the morning for making pickles! Hold on, I was just helping my mom in the process, just the chopping part; later stuffs were to be done by my mom. :P It took me some 20 minutes to cut three mangoes.
As I was chopping that I realized that the process of cooking can also be compared to SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) :D. The first phase being planning where my mom decides if she should make a sambhar or pickle using mango or let it ripe and consume it as a fruit. It was planned that mango is to be cut and made into pickle. This is followed by the requirement analysis. My mom being the service vendor collects all the requirements from her clients, the clients being my dad and grandparents. The requirements can be one among these three different types of pickles viz. thokku, mavadu or avakkai. LOL.

I was been outsourced by my mom for cutting mango when I realized that in any cooking process 40% of the time is spent on chopping vegetables which is almost similar to the design documentation phase and once that is done the chopped mango goes to the cut phase. (Here cut phase doesn't mean cutting the mango but cooking the same. How ironic!) So actually in the cut phase my mom adds all the masala salt and everything to the mango to make it spicy! Now the project mango is implemented! Once the development process is over, the project is set to the QA team (my brother of course) who would do a quality analysis on how delicious the food is! He comes with hell a lot of complaints and some fixes are done with the masala, curry powder and salt. Finally the project "Mango" releases on the dining table and the Clients (my dad and grandparents) accept that! They often come with positive and negative feedbacks and depending on that the maintenance phase continues with her new attempts and new recipes 
