Space.

People who know me usually remember me just as a part of those people who vanish suddenly.I mean like out of nowhere with no reason prolly.I am even not active on social media and usually keeps my private life a bit private. The fact that me with my liberal mindset and becoming a mom at 25th year and 24 days is a contradiction 😉. I even stopped going 3 days to office as I am a new mom. So most of the Times I am limited to my 3 Bhk flat. I have always been artsy.I like to keep my space something really beautiful.You know, pinterest worthy. But in Indian household it's really not possible that too with a tight schedule. As we shifted to this flat recently this flat fits into my kind of imagination. Let me share some of the spots which I like. There is a really nice window with a tree in my study.I have white curtains in place and it kind of gives me some assurance of outer world during late afternoons. I have these "Coffee" related quotes around lik...

JP Nagar Sky✨

For me, Bangalore is South Bangalore.Nothing other than that.I even changed my team to avoid shifting to Brookfield. For me sky fascinated always.South Bangalore skies never fail to stimulate my inner self.Even IfI hate the fact that the city is packed with houses,it feels the right kind of packed.Always I envy the people with greenary and a terrace. That day,I sensed the sky would be beautiful I went to the terrace with my Baby and I saw the sky which I would paint in Shashikala Miss's class.This had to be captured.I wish I could stay here for some time more.It feels someone tells there are only two things, One is this sky and rest everything in black.As if only these two exist,in love, forever. I have not witnessed skies like these more.Not sure,if sky appears pleasing when I want ...if yes,then for sure, Universe is in sync. Let's manifest to witness evenings like these💕. ~Navya H

Filter Kaaaapi.

I am a Kaafi Malli(Coffee Maniac).Malli is the transformed form of Maruli(Mad) in Kannada. I love it so much that I make sure I drink the filter coffee twice a day by actually preparing the decoction in the filter. I ask so many questions to Perplexity for which brand is good,how much coffee chicory ratio should be fine and so on. Cotha's is the one which I used with 70% coffee  and 30% chicori. Back at home,coffee was  less and it was prepared just like tea from authentic coffee powder from Chikkamagalur. Here filtercoffee wins. I get up at 7.30 in the morning and first thing I do is to boil the water for my coffee to be filtered. Oh my God,the aroma!!I wish this Blog could smell like a coffee. Everywhere I go,I try to shop a Good variety of filter coffee. for instance,I had gone out for breakfast at IDC JP Nagar,I hated the food and knew this shop. Heaven! To maintain my sanity,I prepare the filter coffee twice a day and I say,I am addicted. I wish to...

Plant Mom?

I remember,my Aayi(paternal Grandmother) always taunting my mom for not doing gardening. I am like,dude,Is it not her wish? She does all the chores and still not enough? Again, gardening, becoming a mom and a plant Mom are truly truly individual choice. I guess I got it from my Aayi to become both at the same time. My husband also supported both and helped voluntarily to make me a mom and a plant Mom. (IYKYK).He guides me so well that he reminds me of everything a plant Mom and a mom requires. Jokes apart,When I was in my previous rented flat,I got the inspo by looking at our neighbour Madhuri who was really sweet. I got so many and our owner,Thimmu had a problem and was sad. So I had to shift whatever plants survived to our friends place and it's thriving well 🥺. Now we are in a new flat and guess what,owner is so sweet that he never comes to check on us. But I also, being a toddler mom,kept all the things on a table. we got many indoor plants from a near by nursery w...

Gen Z Mom

 Hey There,I am venting it out here,after a long break,on a sunday afternoon where my maid is absent,my 9 months old baby is asleep in his cloth cradle,with some tasks pending and too many books to read.Why not take a moment,stand still and reflect on what is brewing? I am a gen z mom.Yes You read it right. In the US,it's common to be pregnant very soon.But in India,in this generation,no it's not. A child comes with a lot of responsibilities not just with laughter. Yet,you cry when he/she says his first word,you laugh when he is happy and you prepare N number of nutritious meals just to make him eat healthy.Certainly,life takes a pause. You realise you had  a lot of  time which you could not invest. Or a mom becomes a super woman managing everything. I make my son to read books which I liked and still like. Am I not wanting him to be how I want? I can scold my son but not anyone else.Clingy baby is a happy baby.I just need  that bond and love from those tiny hands.It...

Dear Diary -25.05.25

Uff,Rainy week!I am listening to "Yamune Aatrile" from Thalapathi which ended up me in tears. Such a practical application of Mahabharata.I suddenly remembered it and snatched back my earbuds from my Mommy dearest. I was reading a book by V S khandekar which was translated from Marathi to Kannada called "Krounchavadhe".You know it means, a hunter had killed the male Krounchpakshi when it was with his partner.I am liking the writing style though and ordered one more book by the same author. I made my son wear his sweater and hat which his dad had got for him from Nainital.But the little guy seems to like the no sweater policy.He cried till I removed it. Last Sunday, I had been to my dad's native where I was born.I felt like crying after visiting there as I had spent my major portion of the life there in one place.My cousins and chikkamma prepared nice Pav Bhaji for us.I had to manage by spending equal times at both the houses(My Ajji and S...

Adulting.

You know,when someone said Adulting is hard,I could not resonate.But as a kid ,I never had to weep on a pillow by looking at my own life.I feel every adult has to go through this stage.Does growing old mean to cry harder? I was too small, my mom would scold me for no reasons,I thought may be she is strict or I need to be perfect.But now she tells me that I was the only let away for what she goes through because of her in laws (?). You know, you love someone not just for Sex.But to talk endlessly by sitting on the terrace and to be patient listener.Also aiming to be his/her priority.Also, to dream a life which is just filled up with sweet nectar. You know, I had a story.Seven years back, a simple and beautiful story.It was filled with talking about native when away from home, a friend to someone who did not have many friends, an admirer for a tomboy, a reason to self love and whom I had immense trust and had hardly any fights with.But you know,if a story is too good,it would...
