Nine Party Happy

I always found ratios fascinating,
 How somehow it amounted to perfection after equating.

 Soon I realized our days aren’t easy as maths,
 Trying to find a solution to all our problems would turn us all into psychopaths!

 I picked yellow nail paint on a bright summer afternoon,
 For a nice day with manicured hands would certainly be a boon.

 Ran out of the sunny color with a fingernail still left naked,
 That, is when this poem was created.

 As we transition into adulthood with responsibilities on our mind,
 Are we as content as we show ourselves to be, or is it simply a blind?

 A little inch always holds us behind with the baggage we carry,
 In the end, we are truly only nine parts happy!

Stem Cells

A dvertisements of umbilical cord banking have been surfacing for many years now. To quieten my curious mind with the many doubts I had about this therapy and its importance, I spoke to PhD students working in the Vascular Biology lab of Principle Investigator Prof. Maneesha Inamdar in Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research . Here are excerpts from my discussion with them on their research. In layman's terms, what are stem cells and why are they important? Deeti Shetty:   Stem cells are of different types based on their potency. Pluripotent cells are cells which are most primitive; they give rise to an organism. Interest was born in Embryonic Stem Cells (ESC) because from these cells you can give rise to all cell types in your body. They self-renew & they can also differentiate into various types. We study the transition of embryonic stem cells to adult cells & also how these cells are formed. And what are the medical applications of stem c...

Finding Christ

Finding Christ is the story of snorkeling, the magic of Disney and a hostel misadventure in Florida. It had been less than 5 months since I moved my world from India to the US and I was itching for a holiday. I was about to turn 28 and with the experience of 1 solo vacation behind me, I planned my first American solo trip to Florida! Whenever it’s my first traveling to a specific town, city, state or country, I usually tend to book the earliest flight in. So Day 1, I landed in Orlando at 9 am and was fully prepared to keep my luggage in the hotel storage before heading out to Universal Studios . To my delight and the kindness of the staff at Holiday Inn Express, Florida Center , I received an early check-in by 10 am! They have grab and go bags at breakfast which is an amazing concept in addition to their delicious buffet breakfast spread. The hotel is a Universal Partner Hotel and they had complimentary shuttles running every hour to Universal Studios. I was at the studios by 11 am and...

Tale of Two Cities

Tale of Two Cities is the story of road trips, an underwater forest and the hiking trails of California. Since California is relatively large to cover on a single trip, my travel was split between North and South California. I do truly believe you can see all of it only through slow travel i.e. if you live in California and can take short trips over the course of time of living there. Which is why along with sharing my experience, I also interviewed two guests who have lived there long enough to know about the place more than I do! Starting off with the tale of the first of the 2 cities - San Francisco.  Day 1 began on a Sunday - July of 2023. I caught a beautiful sunrise at the Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta Airport and reached the Bay Area (aka San Francisco) at about noon. My aunt graciously hosted me for 5 days and made the Mangalorean speciality Kori Rotti for lunch - a much-needed wholesome meal after a 5 hour flight across the country. A word of caution for anyone hoping to cat...
