“The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind,
the kind that blind side you at 4 PM on some idle Tuesday.”

Mumbai Metblogs
Quick survival tips:• Practise holding your breath.
Preferably in hot, smelly conditions.
• Do stretching exercises. You’re never too tall for a Mumbai train.
Being relevant, per-sonal stories that caught attention

55-word story: Room With A View
The room has a view. An expensive view.
She says,Take a walk in the mud. Stay out in the rain so long that you never feel clean and dry again. When you return, you won’t need to stand at the window to see the view.
He shrugs,Too late, I already paid the rent.

Ideasmith has been….
A cat-and-anonymous game

How much to show?
• Anonymity versus relatability• Identity versus privacy• Accessibility versus security

Office Capers
• SNC: Someone from the next cubicle• Piggy’s Poison Plaza: Office canteen• God a.k.a. BOSS• NB: Naya bachcha
“The LOC runs through ‘no employees’ land’ between my office space & SNC’s. This is even more hotly contested than PoK.”

Thanks for putting into words what I once went through a long, long time ago and have felt ever since.

Thank you, Ideasmith
There are so many of us with painful stories of how we ceased to be while very young.
So many who just let hurt lie in a corner, hoping it will die with time, only to realize later on that not only is this hurt alive, but warping our lives.
This is a reminder and a challenge.
