Memories...

All of us have different ways of associating and relating to memories.. for me it's with smells.! For me.. certain days of the week..smell a certain way.. summer holidays when I was in school would have a distinct smell..rain...holidays.. coming home from college and hostel... and even now.. when I smell a scent similar to that.. the memories and images flash immediately.. like a movie! One of the fondest.. is this distinct memory (I don't know when it happened).. But a pleasant sunny afternoon... I am coming home.. and I open the wooden front door.. I can smell mom's delicious rasam.. and see her wearing an apron over her sari.. and smiling and walking towards me!.. As usual.. I tell my mom .. " Amma.. how can u do this to me!.. It smells so good.. I am veryyy hungry.. "... and mom smiles :)

This picture and smell reminds me exactly of that.. Mom.. and Home.. Love u :)

When you think of holland...

The image that flashes infront of you is......



Whatelse!..Windmills :)


This was taken from my Iphone while biking towards the town on a sunny evening!
Unfortunately today has been a damp day!. It's been pouring since morning.. thunderstorms ..flash floods in Arnhem (the nearest town). But, Its been a good day for work!

Just realised.. getting files into shape for analysis..takes longer than the analyses itself!!

A resolution! Day1

Everybody who knows me.. Knows that I love routines! Hopefully a creative routine will calm me through this frustrating phase of PhD in my life -technically I will only be getting the "D" from the whole PhD..as the Ph has already been claimed by its rightful owner for playing their part in making me work :D - So.. I've been toying with the idea of posting something regularly.. like a ritual if you will.

To make good use of all these gadgets that I am crazy about and keep buying - I shall try and post a new picture from my Iphone everyday!..However crappy or idiotic it may seem..

Here goes it -
