Parth Burman - Steering

Letters

Those who are on steering are writing letters to their loved ones.

Parth Burman wants to design time for food. He writes a letter to bis big brother on why he wants to study food, after finding the inspiration via steering.

Big Brother

Ever since I watched Master Chef India as a kid, you know that I wanted to be like them—a chef. Last year, I did well in my school’s Badminton team and played at the District level, and I thought of a career in sports. There was a time when I wanted to join police forces.

This is how school kids are—like water, quickly changing depending on the container they are in.

This month, I found my own container, the one what I am designed for. My steering.

They reconnected me to what I am and what I can be when I will grow up. I am writing to you to share my final decision for what I want to study in college—I want to study food.

Sometimes I think of the times when we go to a restaurant for food. How people just go there, order something by consulting the menu, sometimes speaking to the staff about specific dishes, have their food, and come back.

What if there are restaurants who offer a very short pre-food time to the guests, to understand how was their day, any specific highlights of the day or of the week.

They can just try to know the visitors for their work, lifestyle, or whatever they do—whom they love, their concerns, their aspirations, dreams, or even the highs or lows such as for moments of celebrations or conflicts. In some cases, imagine if a family had a bad day in office but they are out because it is someone’s birthday.

Or, if they are visiting a restaurant because they are too tired to cook food at home, or their car broke down on the way to home, or they have an irritating guest to attend at home later that night.

Imagine if they are having food outside because they won a gift voucher, or their kids had a fight at home and so the adults just wanted to step out.

Human emotions are complicated but a restaurant does not invest in this experience to take an opportunity talk about it.

Imagine if some people in a restaurant are trained to speak to people who are in a certain situation—and then give them choices for what kind of food should be good for the customers.

It also means that they can use the crockery of specific colors for different life situations of the customers, the menu cards can be in different designs, and also their voice and tone aligning with the customers’ state of mind.

When people have food anywhere outside, they should feel that the food helped in their state of mind in addition to doing its job for the stomach.

Food means the pre-food and post-food times too. I want that when I make food, I should design the time when people want to have food, and the time after they finish their food.

And you know what—I found this clarity after I got my steering.

They are doing their job, I will make food for them one day.

I hope to hear your thoughts on my choice.
