Musings and Mindscapes

Musings and Mindscapes is the first collection of his blogs. These are the pieces through his prismatic view of life and career experiences, generally a light-hearted take. Here he has attempted to organise within the mind, his thoughts and perceptions and the emotional and conceptual spaces. Readers may be able to relate to some of these experiences.
