My regrets

This blog was titled aptly "Memory Lane" by me,and must have,like all blogs,a defining post.This could be it for this blog.I composed an email this morning I hope to send to my advisor at UMD this afternoon:{{My status is currently very different from what I would like,given my performance so far.I had a secret wish to make it big in places like Lockheed Martin,but I was powerless to change how things turned out then.It is pointless to think or talk much about it so many years after it happened,but I still suffer from the effects of the car accident I suffered then!

Your words of motivation will push me forward at this stage,to set my sights lower,so I can achieve my best at least.

At the very least,I see that I did not put in the right efforts at the critical time,but I can see I should try to approach groups in IIT Madras,working on familiar research,so I can share the knowledge I have acquired over time,and learn as much as possible.Before the coronavirus pandemic, I had a very good dynamic with Ranjith Mohan,who heads the RAFT Lab in the aerospace department at IITM.[[https://home.iitm.ac.in/ranjith.m/Members.html]]}}
