Unconditionality- My all time favorite Policy!


Yet another Noisy-neurons day. It is one of the toughest situations, you put yourself into when your sleep gets disturbed at 12.30 AM for unknown reasons and you constantly fail resuming it. Usually music helps to put me back to sleep, but it couldn’t help today. Accepting the failure is better sometimes and so I did come here to my own space. Writing is one of the mind massaging tasks to me 😊 It just helps me to introspect and have a better clarity on anything! Oh yeah, I had to tell what this  post is about. As usual, visiting blog with sleep-disturbed-neurons means, I din have anything predetermined to write. Though my neurons are so tired but are  flashing back some light to me and of course they will only help me with a day-old scenario.  I said they are tired right 😊 otherwise too, my memory is becoming weaker these days and I am unable to remember ppl faces and their names, may be too much of training instances are difficult to handle 😊  Lets lock the topic before I start meandering again. It is one of my favourite policies, “unconditionality”!

A faculty came to my cabin yesterday, he is a young doctorate and a friend of my research scholar and also my co-faculty, Srini. He was fretting and fuming about going unrecognized despite doing hard work and helping all the professors with the funded project proposals. Before he got so serious, I just told him, “Most of the people talk to us with many calculations in mind and they may or may not repay”. He asked, “If I collaborate with you or help you, won’t you give me a small recognition at least”. I said, “yes, I will”. He said, “then why not them?”. I told him, “How can I give guarantee for someone else whose control is not with me”. He said, “No I am not able to accept”. I started smiling and asked his age, “he said he is 30” and I said, “I am 36 and you will get my point clear when you reach 36”. He also started smiling and said, “may be”. It was a very short conversation and I had to leave for a meeting soon after this but then I was like thinking how people get frustrated when they have some expectations that go unfulfilled 😊

Long back until I reached 30+ even I had expectations with people.  Have tied to please people in the family and friends but yes may failures and disappointments mould you as a better person. What I learnt was people don’t fulfil your expectations and it is wiser to have zero expectations towards anyone. This unconditional policy has given a lot of peace and yeah happiness and have changed my perception towards life. When you treat people with zero bias (machine learning terminology? 😊) they will gradually understand and maybe they will start treating you the same way you did. Zero bias also induce  reduced complexity in your behaviour. You don’t need to change your behaviour  person to person and you see it is so difficult to remember all the calculations connected with a person like  “what they will repay ,when they will repay and how much they will repay?” It is all utter non sense and Karma of course takes care 😊  Most of the times, I have got help from unknown persons. Many times this has happened and I am sure they did not have any calculations with me so its fair enough to reflect the same.




Yes, you get abundant peace. I seriously these days laugh like anything (of course yes to myself 😊) when people get boiled for silly reasons and yeah these days, I am not able to boil up my blood though I feel like I should. It is okay . Anyways people don’t change for us and It is mere waste of time and energy boiling our blood. The point I am trying to make is simple. It is purely our choice to treat people the way we want or the way they deserve but treating them with predictions for future benefits will surely fail 😊  

Yes, you get abundant love. This is very important. An unconditional love given pays back in huge not in terms of money or any business benefits 😊, I am pointing on the positivity that is generated around us. May be the more positivity enters, the less negativity prevails, may be this can even weaken the negativity if at all it is existing around still.

Yes, it does change people’s behaviour  towards you, the same way you  expected initially. I have personally experienced this . When you keep treating people better than they do to you, they will never ever have a choice than changing for you and this is a real victory but this takes a huge time .

I think I should stop her and I need a small nap to gear up for the day and 3 hrs exam invigilation duty awaiting in the afternoon and  my reduced sleep will surely have an impact. Let us see how it goes. Have a fantastic day ahead 😊
And yes, thanks for reading

How Motherhood Transforms You?




Wow! I am frequently visiting my place 😊 I have a reason today. Though I felt the urge of writing this post, I had determined to finish preparing the material for DBSCAN algorithm which I have planned to record tomorrow morning as soon as I go to college , for my machine learning YouTube channel,. I enter my room at 7.30 AM. I finish breakfast by 7.40 AM. That’s the perfect time to record videos . I have ruined the whole day if I decide to record post 9 AM. I have even taken 20 to 30 attempts . I think that Hierarchical Agglomerative clustering drove me almost mad. I started by 9 AM and I was able to finish only 2 PM because of continuous interruptions! So fingers crossed for tomorrow morning video recording 😊 Now coming to the title 😊 Actually today marks my completion of 8 years of motherhood so thought of writing how this dimension has contributed to my life !



I have written so many times about my motherhood and about my gal. I think https://subalalitha.blogspot.com/2012/05/paradigm-shifts.html is the first post about my motherhood. Let me try if I can avoid repetitions. Yes, motherhood is surely one of the dimensions which supplies the maximum positivity to anyone. Yeah fatherhood is also not be missed. “Parenting”, the comfortable term I can use which gives a lot of positive energy and aligns ones  life path automatically.  I never ever have thought of cooking on the third day of fever before marriage, but the stamina automatically comes from within as your kid’s food is the top priority. Of course, Selva cooks when I am ill 😊 but I will feel guilty to continue him cooking after I am OK so will get back to kitchen usually.  



Yeah the patience, before marriage, I have so many times yelled at my mom when I am hungry . Now I have developed the patience of holding on with my hunger till I am done giving  dinner to my kid and Selva . Yeah this happens only If am preparing dosas as I always prefer serving them hot! otherwise we will all have together. Yeah I know what  you are thinking? So, where comes patience here. That’s your question right ? Hmm This is only one instance. I am not able to cite a better example. Believe me ! I have  developed patience at least relatively compared to my spinster life 😊
Leave that silly thing please 😊 My parenthood is contributing much to my teaching job. That empathy to see the students from their parents’ point of view is only possible due to my parenthood. Teachers who are spinsters and bachelors don’t  get offended please. Maybe you  empathize better than me but this is only my perspective and my own experience. Once in my machine learning class this semester, I was asking students feedback face-to-face. Yeah, that is one of the dangerous situations you could put yourself into 😊. That day the student’s strength was very less and I finished teaching the topic so early so thought of taking this risk. One student told me that “I don’t express my feelings to others”.  The word, “feelings” was misinterpreted by the other students and they started laughing. They felt he should have used a better word but as a teacher, I can’t laugh for that. I told him. “Have you ever expressed your feelings to your mom?”. He said, “NO”. I said, “you should have expressed to her right?”. Then he started expressing his thoughts about our class and he was able to speak for 3 to 5 minutes. I said “you expressed well”. He smiled  ðŸ˜Š. I think the parent in me was able to tackle this kind of situation well. Also, when I talk to parents of my students, I could very well feel the parent in me talking better than the teacher in me.  

Yeah , the kid in me was brought out only because of my motherhood. As my daughter is a single child, I decided to be her sibling/friend more than being a mother. She calls me “Suba” most of the times. Sometimes I remind her that I am her mom whenever there is a deviation and give her that yell which is much needed to align her 😊 . We use to play like anything. I like playing tennis with her. We play word games. We sing together. We chat with each other like friends. I share my day at college to her. She shares her day at school. The only villain is that “doremon” and “shinchan”. She gets immersed while watching that and never bothers about me and I have to get immersed in kitchen during that time

My sleep-hours- reduction came as a by product of attaining motherhood. I love sleeping before becoming mom but after becoming mom that too when you do PhD along with your motherhood, you get a worst sleep pattern and will literally become an owl. This has anyways contributed many positive things. I was able to focus on my passions, hobbies and do research and have an extended day 😊. So I am ok with 6 to 7 hours of sleep 😊

Yeah I think I should gear up for the day of my gal today ! So will end here. Yeah people who resist marriage should reconsider as marriage is mainly about parenting which is the most beautiful part of life, seeing yourself again in another soul aligning yourself on to the right path. That’s my perspective but again opinion will always differ 😊
Thanks for reading 😊
