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.

FOR ONE | BANANA NUTELLA PANCAKES

*Ahem* Disclaimer: I am not addicted to Nutella. Yes, i may use it in all my recipes! And well…yes i do talk about it almost every other day. And i do really really like it. I still believe i am not addicted. So, there! I love recipes that yield one serving. Living on my own has enlightened me about the fact that there is no shame in asking the price of a single tomato or a few onions. And while all the recipes online come with family sized portions, i love when i can figure out the correct proportions to satisfy my lonesome hungry tummy.  I was in food heaven when i had tried these pancakes in Thailand. Did i mention I'd eat this every day? And thus, on a bored and sunny day, when i had not much to do but give my cat company, i decided to revisit the good ol' vacation days!  First attempt: Pancake utter fail. (Note: Never ever try and make pancakes on a burning hot stove. Just don't.) Second attempt: Hold on till i go devour these! ( Thanks to mother...

LOVING A NEW CITY #01

FIND FRIENDS.  Moving to a new city is substantially less scary when you have a friend along. Obviously, it does not take away the frustrating running around, but it does make things a whole lot easier. You'd want a friend when a broker calls you at a random hour to a random location, you'd need someone when your house floods because someone left the tap on and you'd especially need someone when you just want to laugh at a funny-annoying situation. It could be that one friend that moves in with you, or just someone you met at work..try and keep people closer when you're in a new city. I moved to Bombay along with a lot of other students from my batch. With everyone as lost as i was, it was easier to navigate things. I could not imagine getting used to the city on my own. I'd probably slip down the station stairs and no one would notice. (a long running inside joke with my first friend in Bombay!). So thank you those few first friends in Bombay and in Del...

A SILENT SCREAM

It's not easy to talk about something you aren't even sure exists. It's also not easy to talk about something that makes you different from others and in so many ways almost identical to them.  Sweaty palms, that sinking feeling in your heart, the panic that rises in your stomach and the fear that things will always go wrong no matter what. There isn't one name to this problem. I'm not really beating about the bush, nor am i wanting to name it outright. I've been through depression before. It could be the same this time, or completely different. i can't snap out of it. No matter how hard i try and no matter how many times i tell myself its going to be okay. It's like a living being that sits in my stomach and waits and waits.  I panic. I scream in my head sometimes and i just want to sit in absolute silence on most days.  I cope through it through food and through long spells of couch therapy. It's not really coping i guess…more li...
