Have not written a blogpost in 3.5 years. Time really does go by...
For those of you who read my last blogpost: I lasted at Dad's home with my "shedding" philosophy for barely 6 months before moving out! Its a long story that I am not inclined to share here. What I will say is that the struggle between wanting to be there - physically and emotionally - for an elderly ill parent, pursuing research and other stuff that interests me, and taking care of myself physically and emotionally seems to have defined my life (and me) since a few years now. Moving out of Dad's home was part of that struggle; it was an attempt to find a better balance between these three things. And while I have not found the perfect balance - who has? - it turned out to be a step in the right direction.
So what have I been upto over the past three and a half years? Well, among many other things, I was involved in writing some blogposts on veditum a few years ago when some friends and I developed two water walks in Ahmedabad along the Sabarmati river. You can read these posts here, here and here. One of my plans for 2019 is to do such walks along various waterbodies in Ahmedabad - the river again, and also around number of lakes. If these plans are realised, you shall see a blogpost here.
Like the last post, I hope this post marks my return to the blog.
