M trails...Only person who knows is you!

There are days when you stare at the computer screen and that is all you do. BLANK. SPACE. PERIOD. ....MORE BLANK...MORE SPACE...

Then there are days when mental diarrhoea converts to those long articles where you pour out your heart, soul, blood and sweaty tired fingers ( esp if after years of being a researcher you still type awkwardly like I do).

Then somewhere in between come days with semblance of mediocrity, normalcy when how you use the words, how your sentences wind up do not matter, what matters is that you have something to say and you have your blog space to say it. Your little corner of comfort, your haven; that little girl-diary, you want no one to read and yet you want the world to know exactly what you are thinking.

My thought today, "No one can tell you how much you can think, how much you can do and how much you can feel...the only person who knows is you!".

Reviving my 'Mind Trails' series of blog-posts, that will now imbibe the spirit of a micro-blog (hopefully) and keep my 'mad' moments going.

Preggy happiness, I say!

Prashant posted this pic on FB, with the following line, "We are doing good at 28 weeks & counting!
*give her a hug when you meet her; the photo doesn't do half the justice to the round cuteness that she is becoming* — with Madhurima Das."

Needless to say, that I felt supremely loved and pampered! Preggy happiness, I say!

Chaotic Clarity

M Trail: Equal

Accept me for what I am;
not my color, not my race,
not how I look, not my face..
treat me equal,
treat me like you
would want to be treated.

M Trail: Awesome

we just need to find d 'awe' in 'some' moments...

Just when u think,

OMG! statistical issues of my thesis are making me philosophical:)

· ‎"The whole is greater than the sum of its' parts"- The Gestalt principle applies perfectly to India- diverse people, diverse cultures and diverse thoughts.When we come together, we are a love story that unfolds!
