Radio,Now?

I got a radio for myself.Growing up with keypad phones we would have FM option.But in Kumta,hardly we could catch any station clearly ( Dharwad Akashvani should have ) but with a poor network connection what can be even done?.
But whenever I used to visit Bangalore in late 2000s my Chikkamma would listen to a lot of FMs like 93.8 and many more.I would find tht as a sign of sophistication and a modernization.But back home,I had a place in Talgod home which was designed to keep a 'Radio' and an oven could fit in there easily.
when I started my job in Bangalore,I got a mini carvan for myself in 2022 to listen to vintage songs and FM.But I did not like the song collection to be very honest.But the FM part re kindled my Radio interest.I feel Radio stations really  have some great song selection and it's less toxic I feel.But 4 years passed by and my caravan is not working somehow.Repair would itself cause some amount and why not get a new radio ?That too, a vintage one.Out of my wishlist of having a telephone, typewriter and a radio,one is ticked off.I got one delivered today.
Just look at the picture above,it's such an eye pleaser for someone vintage hearted.I have set it up and can't wait to listen to many songs on it.
I am lately grieving a lot with career pressure.More precisely FOMO.My interests sometime reassure many things.I am feeling a bit better.I lately stopped putting my picture anywhere.I don't know why.May be it's a part of adultiing,as the late 20s people coin it.So my new radio has been my current WhatsApp picture.
Radio really amplified my mood this time🩷.

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 -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...

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 ...
