Mind T(h)reads: Invitations to the Dream World
http://mindtreads.blogspot.com/2010/05/invitations-to-dream-world.html
Tuesday, May 04, 2010. Invitations to the Dream World. Read this beautiful lullaby. In one of the blogs that I read regularly and was charmed by the innocently simple, beautiful and hopeful lines. Lullabies are the most soothing songs of this earth. It’s blissful to catch a scene of a mother singing to her baby, making the little one sleep:. They might, sometimes, carry a tinge of sadness, a subtle reference to the plights and sufferings of the mother or the family or the clan itself. They might be l...

Mind T(h)reads: Random Notes from my China Trip - Part 1
http://mindtreads.blogspot.com/2010/08/random-notes-from-my-china-trip-part-1.html
Friday, August 06, 2010. Random Notes from my China Trip - Part 1. I was not too enthusiastic about going there. There was just one reason - China is a large, populous country like India. This fact painted a picture of China resembling India with its crumbled infrastructure, inadequate space and insufficient resources. Not because I considered that my notions about China could be wrong, but because I felt that these are not reasons for not taking interest in going to a country. China just left me gaping.

Mind T(h)reads: February 2010

Sunday, February 28, 2010. Full many a flower is born to blush unseen. Sometime ago, I had the opportunity of training 5 kids for the FLL robotics competition, along with two other colleagues (What's FLL? Since it’s a robotics competition, competing kids/ teams need a flair for computer programming, concepts of motors, gears, sensors etc. And it needs loads of creativity to evolve approaches and design a robot to accomplish the mission. Given this skill set, teams are typically formed with kids in their 6.

Thursday, May 27, 2010. Meenakshi - in The Age of Kali. I am curious to know how outsiders perceive India – us and our culture. Because they, like children who spot rainbows in oil spillages, can sometimes reveal things that miss our senses. Their views may not be always akin to ‘finding rainbows’. They can also be like the newcomer’s wrinkling of nose at the stench of the Kovum. Last weekend, I got hold of a copy of William Dalrymple’s ‘ Age of Kali. Goddess – as it was about the temple of Madur...

Mind T(h)reads: Victim of a Super Hype
http://mindtreads.blogspot.com/2010/10/victim-of-super-hype.html
Friday, October 08, 2010. Victim of a Super Hype. This is what I think about Enthiran. I went to the movie with amazing expectation and excitement, but came back disappointed:. 1) Its not a world-class movie, its a movie with world-class CG effects. 2) Why is that people think that everything else can be overlooked, primarily story and logic, just because the canvas is going to big? This is my biggest qualm and biggest disappointment. Btw, why does the robot take a liking to her? Other 'like'ables: Under...

Mind T(h)reads: May 2006
http://mindtreads.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 16, 2006. Got to get this list of of random positive traits which we can cultivate in ourselves. I really don't have an appetite for such 'How to become.' kind of stuff - partly because they make you feel that you're not really good enough and the steps they suggest are not really feasible (anyway, I haven't tried any.). But I found this list to be amazingly simple and actually, quite nice. But I'll choose those which I currently have or do. 8226; Whistle. • Avoid sarcastic remarks...8226; N...

Monday, March 08, 2010. How dreams are squashed. The past week has been a period of highs and lows that immediately followed the highs, that eventually ended in a harrowing climax. This is to do with my dear FLL team of five. This super team was selected to compete in the Taiwan International Championship. Travel expenses was very altruistically taken care of. The CR team was extremely generous and agile to negotiate and get funds for us. When we broke the kids, the kids were super excited. We told the t...
