Week 24/2026 : June 15th Monday to June 21st Sunday

Monday at home we had 'Vaarshika Deva Kaarya' few poojas that we do annually. Was busy the whole day (also the day before and the day after). As always I was wondering about what the priests chant and do. I wish to know the meaning behind every action. There are no good books available, and priests are too occupied to explain. 

Back to work I took a concrete decor making class, for 1499rs, recorded class of 4hours. I was hoping to learn do's and dont's of working with white cement. But it was an utter waste of money and time.

I watched two movies, both Malayalam. First is 'Hridayam', this was my second time watching. I love the songs, and the character of Pranav Mohanlal. I love that lady 'Kalyani Priyadarshanan' My God she is so gorgeous!. They make a good pair. The story goes so smooth, this would be one such movies that I would love to watch again and again. Second was 'Drishyam 3', Drishyam 1 was ultimate, the prequel was good too. 3rd part is okish, but climax is unpredictable. 

I completed reading the novel 'Priye Charusheele' a love story set around the Ratha Yatra of Puri. It brought back the memories of Odisha tour.
Priye Charusheele
We had been to this tiny lake near home, which is now full with lotus blooms

On Wednesday me and Sujay were invited to deliver a talk to 'Kansoor primary Society'. Sujay was supposed to talk about pepper cultivation, and me to talk about how to make children curious about agriculture. We hoped atleast 15 20 people to attend, but there were 70+ such a huge number!. Although I talked for just 5 minutes as all there were elders 50+ who might not be interested in what I talk (there were not interested). Sujay is going there one day every month for consultation. We also had to pick one more resource person on the way, Madev Hegde Gadikai, a 75 year old farmer, pioneer in cultivation of multiple crops in our district. I jad a good time conversing with him. Talking to an elder about 'those old days' when resources were minimum, is so much fun! I so wish to write a book/blog series compiling the experiences/goof old days of 80+ elders, including my own ajja.
As the weekend approached Dhruva fell sick. Fever. Just fever. Hoping for his recovery.

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...
