Day 8 - Restless in JOMO

After the travel which consisted of visiting wedding and beaches, Bangalore home received me back with a gift of “cold”. Not the cold weather, but the bout of cold which makes you feel tired and sleepy. And yes I was cranky enough, more than the kid, because we all have the child in us who wants to be pampered especially when not feeling well. What I don’t like is the pressure on sinus nerves, which is not exactly sinusitis but a quick reminder that if not treated this will end up in war!  

So here I am, sleeping most times, gargling with saltwater and taking steam which is hot enough to give me burning pains. Yet, I don’t give up on the screens. I could feel the itch, or pressure to keep checking WhatsApp or Twitter or Instagram or prime video, whatever it is to keep me occupied. As if I am more afraid of the silence than this sickness which is asking me to take care of it by giving rest. I like all the tweets and posts which lectures about JOMO and makes fun of the people who can’t even take a shit without these screens. The irony that I am liking it all on social media which I want to avoid! 

Acceptance and letting go is a tough nut to crack.How much ever counselling or therapy you take, or money you spent on the process, it will come around slowly at an unexpected moment. Just like a butterfly on your hand. (This is just a popular saying. Truth be told, I haven’t experienced any butterflies sitting on my hand, I wonder why!)

It is Sunday. I woke up early today. I am not sure why. I think I had to go to the bathroom. Or had I set my body clock to go off before Sanika’s 7:30 AM dance class?

Dec 9 - Monday blues!

Just another Monday in December. But on some mornings I get into blues, need not be a Monday though, and I start rambling. Twitter gets the brunt of it most, but since it’s already in deep s.h.i.t nowadays, I presume it’s won’t mind to carry some more. For me. I haven’t taken pre...

Being Fearful

Today is day 4 of my otherwise always active, never caught doing nothing mom, feeling under the weather, having fever, she's 73,. What's so fearful with a little fever you may ask?

Day 13 - This n that

I am too immersed in book today to think or observe things to write about for the ongoing series. It’s about cooking, women and the misogynistic view of the country they staying in, and how it affects them deeply. It’s supposedly a thriller, but the repetitive cooking and descrip...

Day 11 - Miso

It all started as usual with KDramas. The journey into Korean food, finding out about ramen and sushi(actually gimbap in korean which we thought as sushi), ordering from Daily Sushi, finding out about other korean cafés in Bangalore. It all happened because of the crash landing(...
