Week 10/206: March 1st Sunday to March 8th Sunday

I am running late to write this weeks notes. So keeping it simple.

As I said last week, Jatre vibes are still on. We went two times again this week.

I was busy at the polyhouse. reorganising my succulents rack. Some had overgrown, some had died, they needed attention. I am grooming them.
fruits from the wild, the summer treat

I was also busy with our NGO's camp work. I was regularly following up with schools, for recommending students. I ordered pin badges (from the gifting market place), seals (from scribbles), cloth bags (from meesho) tripod and writing board (from flipkart). I found them cheaper online than the retail shops here. I received them at very good quality too.

Thursday we went to vadiraj matha, near to our place. Being in sirsi, and just 10kms from home, I have heard of this place regularly, but never had a chance to go. One of my relatives had put up a stall, selling the cloth bags she handmade. I went there to encourage her. It was a surprise to see thousands of people (all outsider's) at the mutt, in such a remote place. It was like a small mela.

Saturday we went to attend my dear friend and sanmathi's wedding at Kuppalli. It was a simple Mantra Mangalya wedding. I always wanted to witness one such ceremony. It was the first time we travelled long with Dhruva. We stayed at a beautiful homestay. Dhurva enjoyed the stay too.

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...
