Lights out Alice!
To build a habit or at least some semblance of one, I am trying to institute the long standing quote that claims that all you need to get better at writing is continuing to write two pages of crappy content, everyday for an year and over time, you will get better. Hopefully, not better at being bad at writing.
The biggest block that comes to me and I guess to most people is what to write. What is funny about this is that throughout the day I get over tens of topics that catch my fancy and I give some thought to and when it comes to jotting them down on paper, poof, they are all gone now. Brain goes into limp mode and stops responding to the command to actually think about things and get to the point.
I will talk about the absolute privilege it is for me to have know Joydip Mitra Sir at MDI. A jolly fellow who is probably the most intelligent mind around the campus and operates at a stratosphere far from where mere mortals can be surmise of but remains approachable and grounded all the time. He always wears a smile on his face and even though his face also tells stories of the harsh life and circumstances that he has to traverse on a daily basis, his smile puts the other person at ease and immediately makes you want to befriend him and share all your deepest secret with. I don't know what I deserved to get this opportunity to interact with him but I count my study sessions with him as the best opportunity to get up close and personal with a brilliant mind. Something that I can forever want but can never get close to. The amount of hard work and dedication to the field of mathematics that he has shown never fails to inspire.
