I spent my day at home today, I wanted it to be a free day. I just wanted to be on bed and cuddle with my pillow and watch a movie. But nothing happened.  This was my schedule (time mentioned is not accurate but around that time)  6:45 ish, woke up stayed on bed! 9:00 am breakfast, vitamin D, conversations with mom 10:00 am work out  11:00 am cleaned my bedroom, oil bath and shower  1:30 lunch.  2:00 pm: hit the bed 2:05 pm hungry, so took the scooter out and bought dates and pistachios  2:30 pm checked student assignments, ate about a mouthful and half of dates and a hand ful of pistachios.  4:00 pm still hungry manifested a mutton biryani.  5:00 pm ish: I slipped and fell face first into a mutton biryani and mutton curry. That was the BEST aromatic fragrant biryani and the curry was sooooo good! This was the highlight of the day! 6:00 pm : Abhay calls me for a master class to learn a song, and we worked on it till 8:45. He’s insanely hard working and talented! The best part is I lear

The sculptor finished carving his deity, but Her eyes!  He looked at every woman’s eye,  Hoping to find inspiration for Her eyes! He was never satisfied.  Then he surrendered to the idea,  Of having Her in Her meditative state.  He would just carve Her eyelids!  With Her eyes gently shut.  He knew he would have ruined it,  If he had craved Her eyes.  Maybe his Goddess didn’t want to open Her eyes.  She was just wandering inwards! 

I woke up at 6:30 am, did my chores, piano assignments and then I got really sleepy by 11:00 am Meanwhile Andy and Solomon called in to check on me. And we ended up talking and I missed my shower.  I took a very tiny nap and was interrupted by Amazon delivery of my neighbour, at #17, they had put #19 in their address. I went out and spoke to them, to change the number in their address as this was the 5th time this month! Then there were calls ; marketing calls, student enquiries. I was getting restless and irritated by now. I went to my quiet place for a bit, in my studio. And it was time for classes at 4:00  I taught music till 8:30pm Andy and Solomon wanted to plan an evening out, I think it was just to cheer me up.  We went to New Bel, meanwhile Andy found Tanya and her cousin Akshay on his way and got them riding triples on the bike! We had shawarma and icecream at Milano. We hung out, talked and joked about stuff. It was a fun evening.  I reached home at around 12:30 and crashed a

I got my car checked  at Mandovi at New Bel Road. The stepeny needed a replacement after my parents busted a tire and almost met with an accident. It costed me ₹7500 for just the rim. I ordered it, and once that arrives, I will have to change all 5 tyres!  My day was great, I’m glad and privileged to have shared and listened today.  I got a message from Roy, who reads my blogs saying he resonates with my blogs. Maybe all of us are going through a lot of issues. All part of adulting I guess. We are all learning! So shout out to Roy! 

Extreme was my favorite band, they had songs like More than words and Hole Hearted .  This is my favorite song by Extreme,  When I first kissed you . My love life is a tragic comedy, can’t get any more oxymoronic than this! I’ll tell you why I like this song.  Firstly, this band has heavy guitars in all the songs. This one has no guitars. Just piano, strings and a double bass and light drums. You can hear the New York Jazz in this one.  Secondly, I had goosebumps, when I listened to it for the first time.  Thirdly, this is personal. Ps: I’m not thinking about an ex here. Just enjoy the song.  Bye!

  * Had this awesome ragi mudde for lunch today!  One thousand days of writing these blogs. That’s like a long time, a sneak peek into my brain. I have had some good memories to go through. Some fiction, some poems with hints of non mentionable happenings, some really questioning my mental health. I’m an artist, Just let me be huh?  I started writing when I was letting go of people from my life. I kept a handful of close friends and cut contacts with so many and never went back. I gave up alcohol and smoking. I had an urge to drink quite recently and the boys bought me a Corona beer! I couldn’t drink it because the bottle fell down and broke. I’ve been sober since 9th January 2019.   September 27, 2021 was when I wrote my first blog.  Looking back, I see steady growth. I cleaned up my act, health, finances and business. Now I need to upscale.  Every time when I made a drastic change in life, I lost some friends, and those who really mattered stuck around. At this point, I feel I’m stuc

Reality hit hard today.  Punched me on my face!  It hurt for sometime.  I didn’t know what to do!  I was almost knocked out.  Then I remembered my vow,  Of not giving up!  A distant voice told me, To “Take it like a man”!  And that’s what I did!  I can’t win em all!  But I know I play fair!  I’m honest to myself!  If it hits me again?  I’ll take it like a man!  *2 red-dragon fruits. Subtle way of depicting manliness !
