Lately, there's been a lot of news about construction fails - expressway cracks, bridges collapsing, road potholes, statues falling crushing, etc. The amount of stimuli - social media, or news that feed into my overthinking brain is insane. Continuing on same thought- Last week, I was driving to a birthday party and got stuck under this under-construction metro station signal. Rather than enjoying...
https://jaeejadhav.com/2024/08/07/sip-read-review-pour-your-heart-into-it-by-howard-schultz-dori-jones-yang/ August read I am offering my reviews on – “Pour Your Heart Into It: How Starbucks Built a Company One Cup at a Time - by Howard Schultz with Dori Jones Yang (Autobiography 1997). Well, I'm not promoting drinking sugar-loaded coffee - unless you like it anyway(I do!) - but overall this true ...
🍲 Hi! Last week, I took on the challenge of cooking 7 different soups at home - one for each day!I roped in a couple of neighbors and, of course, my husband – he’s always game. These three brave souls had to taste my Soup Recipes experiment and share the feedback. Well, no one ended up with a stomach ache or in the hospital, so I am guessing the soups passed the test! 🥄 It was such a fun experi...
July 3 weeks, I kept track of my mood/thoughts/ highlights for each day and put together a mood board on thinkdeli.com. It was a pretty insightful self-created assignment (insights into the behavior, choices, and patterns), to put down the mood in writing and match it with a visual description! Note - These are not my drawings. They are all borrowed from amazing artists on Pinterest. Previous 8 d...
For the last 8 days, I kept track of my mood/thoughts/highlights of each day and put together a mood board on thinkdeli.comIt was a pretty insightful self-created assignment (insights into the behavior, choices, and patterns), to put down the mood in writing and match it with a visual description! A lot of you showed interest last week in these status updates of mine, which makes me feel like - pe...
There is something really amazing about keeping things simple. Check this Zippered Kit, for example. It's just a straightforward, tough little pouch to store…anything. I got it recently made, from my old scarcely used cushion covers. The cushions are long gone, but the covers got a new life as these handy pouches!! #Upcycle #Upcycling #Repurpose #Recycle #SustainableLiving #EcoFriendly #ZeroWaste ...
These past events mean a lot to me - they are all about trusting one's instincts & restarting again and again and again. And when I forget to do so, I read these stories! Helps. Alright, let me again take you back a few years. Today’s story has no takeaway etc, just an event I want to share with you. But before we get into today's tale, kindly check this out first https://jaeejadhav.com/2024/03/...
Promenade is a fancy word for going out walking! Strolling became a popular pastime among Britain's upper classes in the 18th century. This activity, often referred to as \promenading,\ was a fashionable way for people to see and be seen 👀. It was a way for the upper classes to display their wealth 💰, fashion, and social status. By dressing in their finest clothes and walking in popular areas, t...

Everyone is at a different stage in their sustainability journey. I am not 100% a minimalist, or a vegan, or a hardcore sustainability warrior YET. But I am trying my best daily as much as possible. I don’t expect we all turn into Greta Thunberg suddenly but we can try at least 1%?

My new Kindle cover too extravagant?It's got her, holding a book and a head full of flowers, fruits, butterflies & many other super creative vibes.

But I am getting back into the groove and wanted to share my latest blog post from June.It's a book review. I would love it if you could read it and let...

I wonder every day (and the same question the author has), ‘How come some of us can be out there running every morning when the sun comes up, while the rest of us are praying for a miracle just to get our feet to cooperate with gravity🫣?’New blog ✒️ https://jaeejadhav.com/2024/03/30/sip-read-review-born-to-run-by-christopher-mcdougall/ Blog post crafted on thinkdeli.comWritten by Jaee Jadhav Gar...
Me a collector of random facts, a professional daydreamer, and an overthinker! I run on caffeine and curiosity. When I am not busy saving the world (in my dreams), you will find me asking why, how, where, when - love finding answers about everything everyone around and far. Happy to be on Thinkdeli for my daily scribbles! ❤️ Best Regards, https://jaeejadhav.com
This month I collaborated with Pranab Garad to write his Comrades Marathon, South Africa 2024 experience. I have tried my best to convert his oral narrative into a blog detailing his training, marathons, and ultra-marathons experiences, emphasizing the discipline, determination, strategies, and goals for 2024 Comrades!

I have been a customer of Sapna's Chicken Biryani for more than 5 years now. Throughout this period, the quality of her biryani has remained consistently high!Never has there been a single hiccup with any of my orders. She is super on point with getting all the details right and always delivers precisely at the scheduled time!Over the years, I have taken the liberty of requesting many customisati...
“Get up little sister, the morning is bright. And the birds are all singing, to welcome the light!”Usually around 7 am on a typical Monday, the first day of school after the weekend, I remember my mother singing this song. It was time to get up and get ready for a long day and week. Good old school days. Fast forward 30 years, I find myself in a similar situation, singing the same song to my daugh...
I love food. Live to eat – will apply aptly in my case. Happy – celebrate with food, tempo down – cheer up with food, anxiety attack – need an endless supply of food to calm down! It was April 2020, a bright sunny morning. Everybody was locked down in the house. In an attempt to introduce some variety into the monotony, I decided to weigh myself after an extended period. 70kg. Heaviest of all the ...
I used to be one of those who tried to do everything at once. You know the kind, of juggling a million things, trying to be the best at everything - school, work, home stuff, being the best daughter, mother, wife, friend, you name it. I was always told I was the \Pillar\ of the family, so I felt like I had to keep it all together, all the time. But let me tell you, trying to keep up appearances an...
It was a Friday. Ira and I arrived at the neurologist’s clinic at around 3.45 PM. We had an appointment at 4 PM. Usually, I visit him in case of Ira’s epileptic emergencies in a panic state! This time it was our regular 3-month follow-up with Ira accompanying me, excited to meet the doctor. We settled in the clinic. We were the second one to have arrived, which meant the second one to get in and w...
Dusted off my old Canon 'point and shoot' from the attic in 2019, the one I bought in 2010, and started playing with it for in-house ‘Food Photography’. It appeared as though a child was presented with a plaything for amusement. Since then the ‘light and shadow’ saga has begun! By the first week of January 2023, I was seriously bitten by the photography bug. I made a New Year's resolution(maybe ...
