LIFE LATELY | Puppies, Movies and Awesome Mothers


Hey guys! Checking in from blazing Delhi. 

Things have been part crazy and part awesome here. I really do wish life would grow up and decide on something. These mood swings are killin me! Life lately has been mostly down in very dirty dumps. Sickness combined with lack of motivation has really been a buzzkill. Here's what my week looked like. 


The week started off surprisingly productive. I hashed out many a to-do list and managed to kick almost all the dirty work to the curb. Working from home, I have soon come to realise, isn't as glorified as I thought it might be. Sure, I can be my own boss, choose my own working hours and nap in-between said hours. But there are times when I want to walk down to the nearest hole-in-the-wall with my colleague and down a bottle of thumbs up in hopes that it would miraculously ease all the problems in world. Times like those, are missed sorely.


In random good-looking news. My house is now entirely covered with these flowers. And by entirely, I mean, you have to look past these beauties to even see that my tiny house exists. Ahh sumer. You're beautiful but harsh.


AND. Yes. A Capital AND.
I have a new family member! *yayyyyyyyyy* One that I adore to pieces and love more than anything! Meet Freddie. He sure has the puppy dog face down to perfection. He's been with us three weeks now, two of which he was highly sick. Two weeks of sleepless nights and helping this little nugget achieve his glorified crazy puppy status, and we have a winner. He now loves to steal slippers and will chew anything in sight. Ah. Isn't love great!


Here is me indulging in a mid-week, mid-day McDonalds and Modern Family treat, after my brain decided to stray into the useless realm. Silly little brain. Any ideas on how to keep up motivation beyond the first two days of the week? :O. I should ban Youtube from my workstation. Maybe next month. After marathoning through 4 new episodes in the afternoon, I started a new show called Girls. Interesting concept and lovely star cast. It's fun to watch something so refreshingly honest for a change.


Freddie and his new toy. Or what remains of his new toy. ;)



The weekend got progressively better. Phew! I finally, finally watched the new Avengers movie. yay! Salted butter popcorn and watery coke were much needed companions. Along with the company of the lovely boy of course. We celebrated a lovely mother's day evening with the greatest mum in the world. Flowers, gifts and butter chicken make everything perfect suppose.

So, while I sit and sip coffee at 11 in the night and reflect on the week that was, I realise how much my mental state affects my productivity. Trying to make this week a better one hopefully.

MAKE IT | SPRAY PAINTED JAR CANDLES (part 02)

In a previous post , we made beautiful spray painted heart jars. Here is part two of the tutorial where I turn those same jars into decadent smelling candles. You need: Candle wax of your choice Candle wick Mason Jar (Follow the tutorial here ) Fragrance Oil  Before you begin, be sure you have the appropriate type and size of the wick. If your jar is wide, make sure wick is wide enough in diameter to burn optimally. And, if its narrow and long, make sure the length of the wick is sufficient enough.  Measure out the amount of wax needed. For this project, I melted the wax in a make-shift double boiler made from two metal containers—one small and one large. Fill water in the large container. Put the wax in the smaller container and place it in the larger one. Melt the wax on low to medium-low heat. Never leave melting wax unattended! While the wax is melting, secure your wick to the bottom of your mason jar. Dip the end in the melting wax and a...

THE MIXTAPE PROJECT / 01

I've been working on this series idea for a while now and finally it's here! The Mixtape Project, a series to document interesting people, their music choices and their personal quirk. Here is my first guest for today... MAYANK KUMAR / DELHI If you could pick one, which superhero would you be?  I don't really follow the superhero concept but if I had to, I guess i'd pick Batman. That's simply because of his sharp mind and his ability to solve humongous issues with just his mere intellect. What would your DJ name be?  Can't imagine myself behind a console wearing earphones bigger than my face. But I guess 'Max' would do? Or just M? What's your favourite joke?  A jealous haryanavi man opened his own momos shop right next to the famous 'Yo! China' and named it 'Yo! Bhi China'. What's the weirdest nickname people call you? Mickey. My first birthday cake had a Mickey Mouse on it. And that's where the name ...
