Forever thankful to the amazing mentors, projects, experiments and learnings from this place. Will always hold special. 💫

Art is transportive and Indian art is pure heart. My first try at the vibrant and happy Madhubani painting. Mine here represents the tree of life and good fortune (fish in water). 🌴🐠

Saree of the day - handpainted Patachitra saree from Odisha. Its intricate patterns and mythological narratives make the saree elegant and unique like a piece of art.
Having a mid day meal at a remote government school is such a hard-hitting privilege check. Spending the afternoon with these cheerful, uncomplaining dreamers has given me so much strength.

A month since I lost my Mom to Covid. Contrary to what everyone said, time did not make it easier - as the initial shock and numbness wear, the pain is deeper and heavier. My Mother is my whole wide world and now what’s left in her place is a gaping void.
Destination 3: Tamil Nadu
My first time visit to the state was so memorable. Chennai’s welcome with the world’s best Ghee Podi Idli 🤤, mallikai (jasmine) fragrance amidst busy streets and the beauty of Mahabalipuram. All heart.

Chenna Poda - India’s own version of cheese cake from Odisha, believed to be the favourite of Lord Jagannath himself.
Said to have been an accidental discovery when the cook forgot to turn off his oven overnight.

Now officially borne to Andhra Pradesh Cadre. Forever indebted to Odisha and the numerous seniors there who stood by side as mentors and my support system.
My first time stepping into a heritage government record room with its characteristic smell of old paper and dust. Now this one has records dating back almost 100 years.

Lovely interaction with govt school girls undergoing Girl Empowerment Summer Camp at NTPC, Anakapalli Simhadri. Nothing better than an opportunity to witness them dream big and share their thoughts.

1890 record at Registration Office, Anakapalli, written in cursive Telugu (aka Golusu Telugu).
The leather bound book with its high quality paper still survives while many volumes from much later post Independence time have perished.

Upkeep of govt buildings is often overlooked, but it defines work culture and citizen perception. Took up my first renovation project during charge as MRO (part of training).
Also finally addressed my obsession with record rooms with this QR code indexed Model Record Room.
Surprise Police Station visits. Contrary to common understanding, police work involves a lot of paper work and scrupulous maintenance of several records. Monitoring is a must to inculcate that discipline.

From today's Vasectomy Drive Camp in collaboration with Addn SP Chintapalli. Under VIKAS we are trying to promote Vasectomies, equip every PHC and PHC doctor to perform surgeries. So far we could motivate and perform around 200 procedures strictly through consent and knowledge.

This video makes my blood boil. What kind of content is this and who are those monsters laughing at that child being abused & traumatised.
Content creation is going too far now. They need to be punished in the strictest manner!
My Mom was placed on ventilator in her last 4 days. When her sedation was briefly weaned, the first thing she asked me was if I ate (through hand gesture). How do I let go of her knowing that this pure and unconditional love is forever gone!
So happy that two of my paintings got featured in the House Journal here at LBSNAA. Only started painting silly, funny ones and now it feels good to be featured alongside such talented artists.

Mains result and interview. My advice - all Mains candidates, start preparing now.
1) Decide what you want to mention in the DAF
2) Make a question back from previous years' transcripts - those which match with your DAF
Book recos:
#Factfulness
by Hans Rosling, who was a sword swallower turned doctor -> global health expert -> statistician. He puts forth a case for a fact based world view. This has humour, interesting case studies and presents a thought framework to overcome our common biases.
Everyone should be aware of
#Mutation
as a revenue service and its implications to avail govt benefits, insurance, and litigations.
We have taken up a Mutation Drive across Paderu Sub Division and reaching the remotest villages to educate and take suo moto mutation applications
