Week 5/2026 : Monday 26th Jan to Saturday 31st Jan

This was such a lovely week.

Monday we went to 'Alemane Habba' by Rotary club sirsi. Alemane habba is basically a tradition of celebrating the harvest of sugarcane crop followed by making sugarcane juice and Jaggery. But this by rotary is held annually, is a kind of 'fair', celebration also for charity. There were food stalls, serving sugarcane juice and various dishes made out of sugarcane like dosa, idli etc. Various stage programs were going on (Dhruva was dancing for the loud beat). All of us went. We had fun.

Out home is getting prepared for the marriage of Sujay's elder cousin. Cleaning washing organising mode is on. Tuesday I cleaned up my little library. 

My bro-in-law's friend has a tours+travels business. He often gets visitors from abroad. He takes them to show Gokarna Goa, and other tourist places around. This time a bunch of tourists from Netherlands asked him for agrotourism. He asked us if we can show and explain things at our farm. We said yes. And they came on Wednesday morning. Four gentlemen. They were very happy visiting our farm. It was refreshing for us too.

Lot of cleaning was happening. Whole house got covered with dust. Me and Dhruva are allergic to this. So we went to Kabbe on Wednesday afternoon. The week passed in the blink of an eye.

I prepared myself for the Flower Show. Also helped Sindhu atte (my neighbor & crochet teacher) to prepare her crochet stall. Also exhibit few of her works at the exhibition hall.

This flower arrangement we did at the venue of Flower Show. 

I also made this Aarati Thaali, for the competition at Flower show. I didn't get any prize but I have that sense of achievement that I could do this keeping up with Dhruva.

My Aarathi Thaali. Rules was to use only black pepper.

Sunday we put up the stall at the flower show exhibiting plants from our home nursery.

    Thanks for the detailed blog. It gives a better reading experience about Swaraj Tractor and its journey from Punjab to pan-India farming. The points on fuel efficiency and low maintenance cost are exactly what farmers look for before buying. You may also visit Swaraj Tractors models and prices to compare the full lineup and find the right HP for your farm.

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...
