Hello readers,

If you all are still here, a big hello from me who has forgotten how to write and has lost all her creative writing mind to the everyday walks of her life. Nevertheless I am here trying to revive what’s lost because it’s never too late is what I have heard people say!



As I am blogging after many years, I would like to introduce myself - I am Rachel Merwin, living in Chennai, Tamil Nadu a city  South of India, which was proudly known as Madras. Being the daughter of an army officer I have seen much of India during my childhood. I am married to Alok Merwin a musician by profession, it’s funny that they add “Full time” to professions like musician and photographer and not to IT 🤣. The irony is I am an IT professional who basically works FULL TIME and he is a musician that works, well , also full time!



I have two lovely boys as my children, Ian and Shawn, if you would meet them you would know how cool they are 😎!

Anyways long introduction short, I am a boring IT professional, wannabe good mom and not so great wife here to give you all a piece of my raw self through words as much as I can.




Welcome to my world !

Okay, Rachel Merwin’s intro is super relatable, especially the bit about musician and photographer professions getting the full-time label but not IT, haha! I can imagine scrolling through this on the subway. Wonder what her next blog post will be about?Bold Text Generator

If you feel that basic depression tests don't quite capture your experience, the MADRS (Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale) offers a more in-depth evaluation that can provide greater clarity.
