I’m searching for the missing pieces  The things that don’t complete me! I’m not entirely null,  But I can see what can fill me! It’s near me. I wanted to grab on to that to make me whole and never let go But it would choke that poor piece of my void,  It’s got a life of its own. To be unfullfilled, and watch it from a distance, Gave me a high, much higher than any substance  I will not grab it! I will attract it,  Manifest, and  it will come,  Perhaps in my next life. Or I’ll settle for something similar,  This life until I die.

I’ve not been moving much and I feel stiff at my back sometimes. However, my fingers don’t hurt even when I play music for hours! Which means, the more you use the body, less the pain? This week I’m going to Kerala and after I come back I’ll join a gym, my old gym closed for renovations. I’m going to keep my body in check. 

Channeling energy! I have been pondering and having some spiritual experiences, living consciously. My body is responding to the healing triggers. I can’t get into personal details, I have unlocked something by saying “no” to certain acts, and channeling that energy to do something productive.  Only a few have access to my time of which mom is priority. I’m discovering, learning, evolving. Thank you! You know who you are. 

Shared thoughts, Heard by none, An amazing conversation, Ran through their minds, Alas, it had to end,  Nothingness, filled the room, Yet, they found time Another day. 

 I started my day at 7:00 am. Getting ready for class. Started teaching through 11:30. Then I suddenly had classes at 4:00 to 7:00 and then 8:30 to 9:00. I have no idea where my time went.  Tomorrow I will wake early to take my mom to the hospital to show the test results to a doctor. It’s gonna be another long day tomorrow. 

 We did a thorough medical checkup for mom today. She’s 63. We reached the Bangalore Baptist hospital at 7:10 am and signed up, made payments and followed through the check ups one after another. Shes been complaining of knee pains, contributed by the bowing tibia, doctor advised to not stand for a long time and to use steps sparingly. We have another appointment on Thursday. Fingers crossed. Praying for her. 

 Today I watched Kung-fu panda with Liyo and my niece. We booked pvr gold and there were only 4 other people to watch the show. I ordered pizza, popcorn and after the movie I treated them to sushi and ramen. We didn’t like sushi very much, but the water buffalo ramen was awesome. 

 I got myself an iPhone 15 today. My XR was giving me a lot of trouble, and slowing down. So it was time to upgrade. I also took my niece with me and bought her a Capt. underpants book! I walked quite a bit but very slowly. I dream of running soon. 

 I missed the blog yesterday, Sebin, Ujwal, Liyo, Robin and I went for a movie Aavesham. We came back quite late and slept. I ignored the alarm. Have to make this happen everyday. 

 Today I took mom to the Bangalore Baptist hospital for her check up. It was a long day and we have a few more appointments next week. Then I played some chess with Liyo and then classes. We also watched a Hindi movie Rocky aur Rani ki prem kahani. 

 Took my nephew Liyo for a movie today. He missed Manjummel Boys coz of exams and I also had not watched it. At Mantri Square mall, we had a huge burrito and enjoyed the movie. Today it drizzled a little, hoping it will rain soon. 

Liyo arrived from Kerala. He’s the youngest nephew I have from my mother’s side of relatives. After my classes, we drove to New Bel, with Ujwal and Natalia and because Ujwal had to login to work, we came back early. Ashish, my cousin also reached late evening to take his dad back home. Quite an eventful day! 

 After the camp, I came back with fresh ideas to improve my personal journey with music and I am discovering the joys of transcribing music, I’m working on an Ilayaraja song. It’s a simple melody but the bass line is killer. Im imagining it on guitar and notating it on software as well; maybe someone will buy it later. Or I’ll release them into a book someday. What say?

 I slept a lot during the day, then the carpenters came in to complete the work under my sink. They fit the frames and now I wait for the mica to be stuck for the finish. The sink is also clogged so tomorrow we need to get a plumber in. It’s overwhelming with a lot of work, but it needs to be done. 

 I went to visit Andy today. I met him at Bethel and we hung out at his place and had lunch together. The biryani tasted like the ones I have had at Hyderabad. Then we ordered from Jetros, and had to go there and collect it because Andy had put the wrong location for the food to be delivered. Then Jude came by and picked us up and we ate fish fries, watched IPL and played sequence. Gladys and Thejo joined us.

 My kitchen door started to fall apart, thanks to termites. My got a carpenter home to fix it today we cleaned up, yanked out all the infested wood, took measurements for replacements. We also fixed the jammed doors today. I got lunch from Sahana aunty. She was kind enough to send some food over. God bless her. 

 I woke up early and at 7:00 I walked to the polling station, to cast my vote. Then it was breakfast time, I had Puttu and pappadam. I was soo thankful for mom! Then the kids arrived. Ivan booked a bike transport and got here quite early. I set up the place and saw the video Emmanuel sent. To my surprise all the kids were on time. Akshita and Durga stayed up and wrapped some chocolates to appreciate my efforts. God bless them. We went through each session and we revised core theory concepts and did some exercises. Then we played some games. I treated them with Burger King! Thank God I had Ujwal’s help. Then it was time for them to leave. I felt sad that the camp was over. They are all my babies! Some of them will be such amazing musicians! 

 I’m preparing for the last day at camp! My parents will be here and I need to wake up early to go vote and take some classes. so good night!  

 We had an amazing day at camp, learning more music theory, through fun and games. Durga also played Drifting better than last week. The kids love performing and preparing for it. I also took some classes later! 

I gave the scooter for service today at the  branch through Ujwal. He dropped the bike and we went again to pick it up.  He said this place was not as crowded as the Rajajinagar branch. The service was ok. Not so great, we had to point out a few stubborn stains on the scooter.  I took the scooter to the RTO after this and got my Activa’s RC. Finally.
