Week 8 and 9/2026: February 16th to Feb 28th

I am writing two weeks together. I felt the days were longer, and me is doing a lot of productive work.

With Dhruva, the journey of weaning off started. I can't call it a journey now, because he stopped feeding just in two days! That was not at all hard (for me for him). 1 year and 2 months. Finally I am free from breastfeeding. I feel back; back to myslef ; back to the nights I longed for.

This time I wrote a small article of just 500 words for my column. I didn't have the patience to write bigger one. Also wrote a 300 word article for Sudha - on monstera.

I watched two movies. One is athiran, a malayalam mystery thriller. I liked it. Another is Dhurandar. Oh I loved how Ranveer Singh has played the character. Those eyes, those long hair, the music that plays in the background, the perception he creates as a patriot, his masculinity, ufff. I have always loved how he gets himself into the character. I am always an admirer of his acting. Padmavat, Bajirao Mastani, Gully Boy, lootera, Ram Leela, I am into all the characters played here! He is soooo versatile.

I said I am planning something big. One is a summer learning program that I want to conduct for school children. I planned one from Phasalu around Agri-Art-Theatre. This is a very ambitious program that I am planning. I am into raising funds locally from different institutions, and donors. I am approaching schools to get students recommended. I am back to work. All thanks to my appa amma who are looking after Dhruva while I do this.

Meanwhile we are having 'Marikamba Jatre', which will run from feb 24th to March 4th. Iwe took Dhruva to experience the vibes. He enjoyed. I went alone one day to explore the mela market, bought many things for home.
Nights they look beautiful, but we couldn't go.
everything is plastic
Enjoyed the car ride at the amusement park

The second big plan was to put up our own shop at jatre. To sell plants. I had also ordered material worth 4k online. But those didn't meet my expectations. So I am postponing this idea to 2028, for the next jatre.

I also wrote a story for childrens picture book, sent to several publishers. Lets see if anyone responds.

Week 48 / 2025: Monday 23rd Nov to Sunday 30th Nov

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...
