When the Support Matters...

🦌 With ears twitching and eyes wide, the deer detects danger in a heartbeat.🐿 Nervous but quick, the squirrel’s constant vigilance keeps it one step ahead.🦌 Swift and ever watchful, the antelope senses danger long before it strikes! Yes, it’s all here too. I am confident about these earned senses I have ,over the last 10 years. While no two days are identical, they often appear similar - consta...

When the Joy hurts!

Oh gods of wisdom & light- Your arrival, departure, your splendor, the grand celebration, bring forth not just light, but a painful vibration. The noise that erupts, like thunderous rain, either leads us to hospitals, or corners in pain! Ears shut tight, we yearn for relief, from the sound pollution, causing us grief!I had all at once, in a dizzying swirl, the disastrous firecrackers burst, the sw...

Unwrap the gift for an eco-joy!

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.  July blog - https://jaeejadhav.com/2024/07/07/unwrap-the-gift-for-an-eco-joy/ Blog post crafted on thinkdeli.comWritten by Jaee Jadhav GaradJuly 2024

From Scraps to Statements

I am sure you have at least once gone through a ‘fabric selection catalog’ to select the fabric for your curtains, sofa covers, or other upholstery in the house or workplace. Ever wondered what happens to those catalogs(fabric swatch books) once they are outdated? Trends change fast, and businesses can't always keep old catalogs around. They take up space and might not even be useful anymore. So, ...

Subtract human voices and what do you hear!

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...

Soup-astic Week!

🍲 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...

Moods July(16th-27th)

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...

Because why buy new when you can glue & redo?

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 ...

Did you know….

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...

Pranab at Comrades, South Africa

This month I collaborated with Pranab Garad to write his Comrades Marathon, South Africa 2024 experience.

Biryani review

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...

We quit the Race

“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...

Motivational Fees

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 ...

The Minimalist Mindset

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...

Toxic Positivity

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...

365 Days Challenge

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 ...
