Dear Diary 17.05.25

This week has been wonderful!A lot many activities amidst the chaos created by my 5 months son.I have been lately a victim of many postpartum side effects.Well, I had been to my husband's bestfriend's sister's engagement and I saw how small the community is.I mean I could find half of my relatives there.Food was really good.I wore this very long anarkali oredered on Amazon.Being a woman of 5'8 I feel it was long enough for me 😶.
Also, we repaired our TV after 5 years and I switched on Udaya Tv in the evening just to get that childhood weekend feeling. Ravichandran's "Manedevru" movie was being telecasted😂.
Last Sunday, my cousins were here after 2 years and my mom,her sister and everyone started giving their opinion on kids.So to avoid further fights I took them to "Gedde" and talked about how my old good times were there.
We had a local festival called "Bandihabba" and my mom asked to visit the festival as she thought I was spending too much time indoors.I was confused whether to go or not as it was freaking hot.I went there,are junk and came back.
I had ordered nice Salwar Kameez sets as I felt like wearing it after 10 long years.I was overwhelmed by wearing them in school.
It was raining throughout the week and felt nice  to witness monsoon in native.I always used to say my husband that Bangalore Rains are boring as they are short lived.Times were those when it used to rain for hours together 🥺❤️.The sky used to look like a canvas of a talented artist and yet screaming to be made use of.
On My way to bandihabba, I witnessed a few nice,vintage houses.
Tomorrow,I am off to my dad's place to visit his mom and aunt.I was born there and stayed till 13 years.Post then, I am not able to live in a place more than a year or so.My whole life has been shifting,shifting and shifting.
Also, me and my husband are in  discussions of a new venture.I have to see how that goes.
Again,I failed to meet the deadline of reading.I am reading a book of love stories which has like 500+ pages and it is so deep.You know,you can read a big fat novel in a go, but  story books demand to change your perspective to each story every time.
I always want to enjoy the essence of love stories.May be I am slow in that aspect or due to many ongoing things in my life.
Also,our place's farmers were building a wooden structure to cultivate "Kennigende" a kind of root which looks like sweet potato/potato but very nutritious ..I don't know what is called in other parts of Karnataka or in English.
Also to cut down my brother's screentime, he started Kuvempu's "Malegalalli Madumagalu" and has read 70 pages now.
Also,there is a funny thing.My dad wears white everywhere.Be it a trip/his farm visits/his courtroom sessions/any family function/someone died/someone was born.So I tried to ask him the reason and as usual he made a face.
Coming back to my son, he has been clingy and how much ever I feel like I should not let him have screen time (trust me,when I was in hostel it was the time when Jio  was introduced and everyone had access to whatsapp.l was such a tech moron that I did not know how to operate it.I don't wanty son to be the one by undergoing no screentime policy) he gets attracted by phones.My mom made him watch some kid's rhymes and she told she made us also listen to kids songs on tape recorder back in early 2000's.
Funny right? Gadgets change, but not the mankind.
Let's meet again in the next week with some more things❤️

Dear Diary 27.04.25

Here I am ,again after a week!Guess what,Appu(My son) has been better in terms not being clingy and furious all the time.So a brownie point for that and on a good note to start with. This week I and my brother went for a family function and I got a proper picture after buying this phone.I prefer cotton dresses here even if it is a marriage. So this was just before going out.I am not a shopaholic and I advise sustainable clothing.I also liked a tamarind jaggery dish prepared at the function.Also the wise old man is back here, hehe!. Andd,I have become a slow reader in search of new flexible job.I mean I work for a core company and a coder.But somehow I want to escape from going to office.. We resumed playing badminton again this week:) One of our garden flowers stem broke suddenly after blooming fully.I felt sad, like you be in your limelight and suddenly boom! Something happened. Nowadays since it's cloudy all the time, evening skies are such a nice treat I ...

Dear Diary -03.05.25

So here I am with one more weekly update.My husband is in Varanasi and he lived my dream.He was a little kind enough to try the food I suggested and places I suggested.It's raining there and his flight is delayed it seems. This week was a roller coaster emotionally.I had a big fight with my husband and he sent me a surprise Pizza.I was never a pizza lover,but I craved for it in my pregnancy. Also,this week marked the death of our dog,Gundu one who changed my perspective on dogs itself.He would accompany me for walks.Its sad that he was attacked by a leopard.Idk,what forest department is doing.I mean only pigs were of a concern here. Nvm,they got a replica of  Gundu now,My mava said it must be his child only as he looks the same and from the same place where our Gundu would go for his night walks.Wherever you are,I hope you are happy Gundu. also,gold rates are sky high.For a small piece ,say tiny enough,for that it costed me 700 rs. I went to ajjanmane as my ...

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...
