End of an era

Image
  Today my Dadi expired. She was one of the strongest characters I had seen. From managing 6 kids to a paralyzed husband for 12 years all on her own, she did it all. Obviously, she had developed hard edges, she had been rough and harsh at times. When I look back and ponder, the amount of hardship she went through was way too much and I could easily understand the reason for her pain and roughness. Despite that she has been support to all of us, when my elder brother wasn't able to settle in his college she immediately left for the college in far terrain and supported him and helped him settle well. Whenever I had to travel to Bhopal, she was always there to accompany me to ensure my safety. Countless travel and support she provided to all of us. She accompanied me to Delhi for my first job. She accompanied me when I wanted to travel, and my parents were not able to join. She was full of life and loved to try new things. I clicked this picture when she came to stay with me during my...

When strength becomes weakness

 All my life I have been recognized as quick learner, fast to adapt, and adjust. I always tried to solve the problems at a very faster speed. When I was in 9th standard, I challenged myself to submit my math worksheet first in the class and I was always successful in submitting it first with all the correct answers. It indeed helped me in scoring well.  I had started to feel that I have the perfect approach to handle problems as my speed of doing things was helping me to get recognition and success. The speed was not only in doing things, but it was also there in my speaking skills. I love dancing. During dance practice, I did feel that I tend to be a bit faster than others, result of which I was dancing one beat faster than others and hence didn't fit well in the dancing group. Specially where less of energy and more of control in body was required for dancing. I love singing too. I am in 5th year of Indian classical vocal. I realized that despite having the right notes and g...

Letting down self

Any negative comments and feedback from closed ones made me feel vulnerable. I ignored it by blaming it on them and thinking no one should criticize and give feedback like this.  Gradually, I realized that it was not just them, it was me too who was putting myself down by constantly reinforcing thoughts such as I am not looking good and fit, I am not doing good technically,  I am not doing good as mother, my kids health, studies and routines are impacted I am not doing good as partner, that's mutual though. I am not doing good as singer.. With all these feelings, I realize that I am not doing good to myself, if I lack reverence for myself then how can I expect it from anyone else.  I  am not being kind to myself. This feeling is reflected in almost everything. This was the reason that any criticism from others hit me so hard. now the question is before asking anyone else to stop letting down how should I stop myself from letting myself down? First question is how did...

Some sad facts Electronics and Communication engineering in India

Most of our ECE talent from our country is drained or not utilized. Most of our ECE talent work in the software field yet we can only make hardware patents in India. We are the ... highest consumer of electronics yet most of the electronics in India are imported. We have so many contributors in standards from India yet we don't build them, we buy them at super heavy prices. I did my B. Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering. By third year, most of my batchmates were sure of their MBA goals and they started preparing for entrance exams. Those who were really passionate about the branch tried to find core job and hardly only two or three could find core job but eventually they also had to leave the country to pursue their passion.    If India has to succeed then India will have to be ace/pioneer in the electronics and communication ecosystem. Any expert in this field should not be required to leave the country and should be able contribute his/her experti...

Cornerstone of life

 Health, family, and career are cornerstones of life. To understand which one is the most important just try some permutations and check whether you can survive. For example, you don't have a career but have a lovely family and sound health, you will be able to survive for many years. Or if you have health and career and no family, still you would be able to survive. But would you be able to survive if you have a good family and career but have poor health? The answer is NO. Yet we take our health for granted. We all know that we will be able to take care of our family and career if we have sound health. But how much effort do we put into taking care of our health? In a bid to take care of our family, career, and our dreams, health often becomes the last priority on our list, until it hits us hard. What's the definition of health? How to take care of it? what are the moments for action? Again, health has 3 cornerstones to it- physical well-being, mental well-being, and emotiona...
