In Hindu philosophy, there is a profound grace in the "Pralaya", the great dissolution. It is often translated to destruction, but it essentially means reabsorption. Just as Shiva must dance the world into pralaya to clear the path for a new creation, our lives often require a total collapse of the old self. When you feel like you’re breaking down to the point of no return, you aren’t just falling apart; you are entering your own personal Kalyug, where the structures that no longer serve you are being dismantled. This "rock bottom" is the sacred ground of the Brahmand, where the noise stops and the void begins. It is only when you are completely stripped back to your essence that you gain the clarity to build a life that is actually worth living. Destruction, in this sense, is just the first step of a rebirth. taken in IIT Kanpur by @psyloni

So the other day when I was mindlessly scrolling through Stack Exchange (and I promise its much more common among PhD students than they would care to admit) I came across the question, 'Can Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), or a magnets cap make you smarter?'. Well Stack Exchange couldn't give a clear answer and neither can we (yet) but we can tell you why TMS is a really cool tool to use in any brain study.

A long time ago, a scientist power couple, Luigi and Lucia Galvani found out that bioelectricity is a thing. Taking this knowledge, Dr. Anthony Barker came up with the idea that using magnetic fields we can make changes to the current flow in our neurons. Based on this concept TMS can 'switch-off' or 'excite' parts of the brain to see which area contributes to what activity.

Interesting studies are being conducted across labs to see how TMS can be used to understand motor memory formation, learning, treating issues like PTSD etc. Though we are pretty far from opening a company like Lacuna Inc. we sure do look forward to using TMS in some cool research.

Here's to trying to understand ourselves better, accepting who we are, living alongside our cringe, listening to our therapist and being a better person for our sake. We owe it to ourselves; mind and body. Happy New Year People. 🫂💕✨

P.S. The one behind the camera is a big big part of my goodie goodie journey. I am so glad to have you in my life Moonpie. What would I even do without you? 😤🔪❤️

The past two months have been a wild emotional rollercoaster, spiraling down with each passing week. After coming to IITK I faced a harsh reality check, felt super dumb for the first time in my life, dealt with a misdiagnosis scare that made me fear for my life, and eventually got re-diagnosed with something I had to Google and literally read research papers about. It was all so draining that I couldn't even gather the energy to call my family for weeks, or maybe I just didn't want to.

But between all the chaos, this place changed into something so much more than just a study table; it's quiet, it's safe, it's homely, although I wish it were a little warmer too :p

Today, decluttering my tiny little home was such a rewarding experience for me. It was refreshing and I felt in control, no matter how small it might seem it made me proud of myself as I tidied up my surroundings.

I started my day early, went out for a walk, and gathered some beautiful flowers. I washed them and decorated my desk with them, creating a serene atmosphere that boosted my mood. Waking up early to start this activity allowed me to approach the day with a renewed sense of purpose. It wasn't just about organizing my physical space; it was also about decluttering my mental space. The act of letting go of unnecessary items gave me a sense of clarity that I hadn't experienced in a while.

This activity reminded me of the importance of self-care and finding joy in the little things. Reflecting on this experience, I realize how essential it is to nurture our mental health through mindful activities. The decluttering process served as a reminder that our environments significantly impact our mental state.

No I didn't get all dolled up to rant about the theory of mind without a script. Never again, not even for my bestfriend's wedding, it was annoying and now I'm embarrassed 🤡

The Pomodoro Technique is also a good technique to manage your time, though it never worked for me but it might for you ✨

Maintaining focus and avoiding distractions can be challenging, but using Pomodoro Technique can help by working in short, concentrated bursts of time, followed by brief breaks. 📚💃🏻📚💃🏻

For example, you can set a timer for 25 minutes to study and then take a short break of 5 minutes. Keep repeating this cycle to enhance your concentration, productivity, and overall efficiency. 😏🤏🏼🕶️

(Yes these are some of the main learning tricks too)
