This section has been silent for a while. I have been very busy wrapping up my thesis, as I am due to defend on the 25th of August. My days and nights have been occupied with typing, thinking, retyping, drawing, questioning some fundamentals, but eventually falling asleep on a daily basis. (Or not, thanks to my not establishing a cooling mechanism).

But it’s been a really busy time for me. It feels a bit weird that I went so many days without posting anything - my digital diary is also lying unfilled for the past couple of weeks, and the pile of unfinishedness is so high that I don’t even feel like clearing it. But maybe this is a good opportunity to reflect and consider things more objectively. Writing a post daily and entering some details of the previous day in a digital diary shouldn’t take more than 15 or 20 minutes, at most. But oh, our brains are so adept at making mountains out of molehills that all of it seems like an uphill task - just 20 minutes!

But maybe that’s what makes us human. The inability to comprehend what small tasks mean in terms of reality and thinking about such things over and over again. It holds good for most things that involve something akin to self-actualization, I think.

But we’re all so bad at planning. It’s all part of it.
