HELLO thesis-writers, researchers, emerging from lockdowners!

As the world cranks back to its normal momentum, here’s hoping we can make this time count and get to our finish lines. Me, I’ve set myself a countdown challenge to write that thesis!

Am not gonna dwell on this but you may say I am emerging from what is strangely a sort of 3D Year  as I call it:  Of Death, Divorce and hopefully at the end of this one a Doctorate at the end of it…!

Yet I  believe we cannot be defined by a viral pandemic which cranked us to a halt or by any tragedy for too long.  I am gonna create my own momentum and set this goal and purpose to emerge on the other side. See, we still have our groove and somewhere within, creative imagination flickers!

So I was moved to log my entries and bits of my inspired thoughts and reflections along the way like little notches. Even prisoners whose days are monotonous are nonetheless moved to mark their passing with notches on walls ( Amor Towles, A Gentleman in Moscow).  Humans are like that. And today being the 23rd February, 200 days would bring us ‘nicely’ (as we used to say in Sri Lanka) to September!

This blog will be my diary of notches, capturing the momentum as I set out as a single woman married to a thesis and a mum of two children, who are at most times, very good company! Creating momentum, a collage, a sharing!

Keep Calm and Notch on…
