Week 51/2025 : 15th Dec Monday to 21st dec Sunday

First para is for dear ladies; men can ignore

The week started sad. Got back my periods. I was afraid my back pain will worsen. It didn't. It remained the same. This time I thought I should try period panty after all the reviews I saw. I had shifted to menstrual cups after marriage 4 years back. And I felt it the most hygienic, easy and safe way. But somewhere I felt cups might be putting pressure on my pelvic muscles and that could be a reason for increased lumbar pain. But I couldn't go back to pads. They are so unhygienic, difficult to dispose, leaky what not. So period panty I thought could be an answer. I tried. It is super amazing in absorbency and ease of use, not leaky. But washing it is the most painful task. And it's expensive (1 panty = use for 2 yrs = Rs. 850; you would need at least 3) (whereas 1 cup = use for 8 years = costs 300 or less). And after putting on panties the pain was same. So I am continuing using cups.

By the brand 'Mahina' (Such a thoughtful name)

Periods ended. This time it passed soon because I was at parents. Sujay had been off to Hyderabad for Access agri training; me and Dhruva came here to Kabbe. Ajji mane is always fun for Dhruva. We had few outings, highlight was visiting an animal rescue center. Very unique efforts in a small city like ours. Dhruva enjoyed looking at ostriches, emus, yaks, iguanas, all kinds of parrots, pheasants.

My appa has diabetes from like 20 years now. He is getting color therapy treatment. Colors can cure chronic diseases—should we call it dumb!? I don't know, appa says he has had some good results. They have given a book which has prescription for all kinds of diseases. I also put paints for few days for my back pain. I didn't get any results. Looks like I should do it for long.

Newsletter for 2025 of both Haridrekha and Phalsa are ready. I couldn't believe I was able to do both. I wrote two articles too. I am making an album for Dhruva online at Prolab. I have a goal of 3 albums. It might take a longer time. Let's see. I have stopped reading from so long. I should read some books sooner.
Sunday was a polio drive. Dhruva had his drops. We went early and we were the first to get it done at the primary health centre.
Sujay is back and we are packing back home.
we were there so early that we inaugurated the drive!!

From last week’s post; yes, the lumbar back pain! It still hasn’t improved. But I’m slowly moving forward with the feeling that it has become a part of my life, and I just have to embrace it as my own. The only solution is to lay down & not stress the nerves, which is something I obviously cannot afford at this age and stage. Still, I’m thankful to God that it didn’t trouble me during the third trimester and post delivery. God truly has His own plans.  My reading has stopped for now as I’m slowly getting back to my pending work. But watching? That hasn’t stopped. I’m really enjoying the anime 'Demon Slayer'. I found out that 'Family Man Season3' is out on prime and I shifted to wtaching my most favorite series now. I had said I was crocheting a sling bag, but the plan changed when I saw a trendy crochet iPhone pocket on Instagram. So I jumped from the sling bag to the pocket easier, but still time consuming. I’m doing it slowly. I also finished two embroidery proje...

Ah what a good start to the year 2026! The week was colorful.  Of course cough and cold season's not over, but I got over it. Also the back pain, looks like it's going to stay with me forever, I have to move on; this week I mostly ignored it too. First was completing crocheting the iPhone mobile pocket. It's been incomplete for so many many days, and completing it was a pure achievement.  Monday morning I went for shopping at 'reliance trends' and 'babyhug'. There are not many malls like this here in our small town. Even the collection in this shops are also limited, very boring types. I went with an intention of buying some new kurtas of L size (M doesn't fit my mom body anymore), and I didn't like any. I came back. But it was so refreshing. This year I have determined 'I will note down everything that happened and thats going to happen'. So I thought of buying a planner. I ordered alicia souza's monthly planner. It got deliv...

Dhruva is an year old. And it was time for vaccination. Typhoid+Hepatitis A. He already knew something bad is going to happen when we laid him on the hospital bed. He started crying way before doctor took out needle. Hungama lasted couple of minutes. We said thank you to our paediatrician in our own way: by giving a personalized notebook with our doc's name and a little embroidery. And we didn't miss giving chocolates to the nurse aunty. The little embroidered diary We had a pizza on the way back home at 'La pinoz'. We love the Indian flavours at La Pinoz. We have a domino's, but we don't go there. We don't like the thick crust of the pizza base. Although dhruva can eat anything now,, we prefer not to give junk untill he becomes aware of healthy v/s not. The days of celebration are not over yet. It was our marriage anniversary. We are married (of course happily) for 5 years now. And I kept bugging sujay to take me out (bugging husband...
