Me!

I am a true libran. Indecisive, attempting to balance opinions and seeing both sides of the story. And so, I am never sure of which way to go.

I wish life was simple. I wish I could be spontaneous. 
I go through life one episode at a time. I can never plan ahead. 
I cannot hurt people and live with it. I am not comfortable talking about how I really feel about stuff either, my diary is helpful there.
I have always had trouble with the word 'no'. I find it difficult saying it to people. And when I do, I don't really pull it off well. Things don't remain as pretty thereon.
I love pets and food! And I find there is no bigger a turn-on than a doc in scrubs or a surgeon at work! 


Why Inertia?
If there is one constant aspect in my life, it would have to be this principle of fundamental physics. The tendency to resist any change. I love being set. In my cocoon, any attempt to disturb the equilibrium is frowned upon.
That's me!

    Agreed that most lectures are dull, drab and boring. Agreed that most students bend backwards to please their teachers. Now move out of the lecture halls and tell us what did you see in the hospital wards-your encounters with white aprons and sick patients. S

    You have actually described yourself very well. It's not easy for everyone to know your own self so well. Keep going. Good luck.

Where dwell the brave at heart

My blogger recently reminded me that my last post was back in 2011. Although its intent was probably to get me going at another write up, all it did was make me feel old.  Back when I thought I was a blogging pro, there wasn't really much to play with online. Over the last couple of years, I have felt quite out of sync with the online world and I often feel overwhelmed with the amount of content thrown at me. Probably for this very reason, I have withdrawn into the offline. So forgive me if my writing is a bit rusty.  I recently had a son. We call him Krit. Although the internet wants it to mean handsome, it is Sanskrit for 'to create'. I was drawn to the name for two reasons. It is crisp. Just the way I like things. And, it isn't an adjective. I do not want to burden my kid with living up to our expectations of him being sweet or kind or loving or successful. So, now that I have introduced my son to you, let us get to the real deal.  When you make a baby, your centre ...

Not poor enough

I admit it. Nothing gives me more joy than spending a few morning hours in a coffee shop, in the middle of a workweek. Nothing. Not a Marvel movie. Not the best pizza in the city. Not a romantic sunset. Not even Krit finishing his meal. Everywhere else, I usually lack focus and give in to distractions pretty easily. But the fantastic combination of caffeine and cheerful music works wonders.    I have been trying to work on a research paper for a few weeks. I was looking at journals so I could tailor my article according to their specifications. After shortlisting a few, I realized I might need to pay a small fee because the publishing houses are kind enough to provide these articles free of cost for people to read. A way to go around this fee drama is that our institutions can buy memberships in the publishing houses. That way, we do not have to pay the fees individually. Unfortunately, I only know three institutions in the country that have actually bought these expensive sub...

Wired different

During my college days whenever somebody described their journey with a " there was a baby ", I would immediately revert with a sympathetic "Oh no".  Fast forward a few years and I am on the other side of the table. To the people who haven't travelled with a baby, believe me when I say that the only person deserving that sympathy is the one holding that baby. To those whose children have grown up, I am certain you would agree with me. If not, our mechanism of self-preservation often makes us forget things that have caused us significant distress. Maybe this is just one of those things!  My boy is almost a year and a half old and is turning out to be quite an interesting person. He and I flew from New Delhi to Nagpur last Sunday. The last time we had travelled together in August 2021, by the end of our trip, we were both in tears. I distinctly remember standing at the baggage claim taking deep breaths, trying with all my might not to openly weep. I wonder if time...
