Covid day 38 - happy bday Veena!

Veena’s bday today. Another covid lockdown bday bites the dust without a proper party 😕 had a video chat with girls though! Felt good. 
After an intense workout and seating mike a dog, I finally gave in to my temptation to ‘do my hair’. I used a flat iron on my hair after more than a month! I only ironed the front sections a bit and I felt human again! Ironed and Wore a cotton kurti, had a few glasses of wine and enjoyed my evening/night. 
Work was ughh but who cares now?! 😏

Dwitiya Vighnam

"Dwitiya Vighnam" is a popular Hindu belief....if you 'start' doing something one day then you continue to do the same thing the next day. Say for e.g. I started blogging yesterday, so if I don't blog today then it's not considered a good start. Dwitiya  => second Vighnam => obstacle I believe the real reason behind this belief is to encourage continuity. But I'm the kinda person who does something for 2 days to avoid Dwitiya Vighnam and then stops doing it the third day ;)

Young girls would wear half-sarees and gradually as they grow, transition to wearing sarees. I remember wearing my first half-saree when I was 12 years old. It was such a big deal for me, getting a 'semi-grown-up' feeling for the first time. The trend sorta faded away, taken over by really grand n expensive salwars, but they are back with a bang! They're not just for young girls anymore. This fashion trend has boomed so overwhelmingly that they're almost as popular as sarees. And it's not just exclusive to south India anymore, girls n women all over the country are wearing them. And wearing them with style! I'm gonna use this post to showcase a few trends that I like and also show off my collec...

Feels like those good old days when I was lil....would come back home from school and write in my dairy....it was best friend then...knew all my secrets! Well, don't get your hopes up....not gonna spill out my secrets here :) Chillaaaaxxxxing doesn't come naturally to me.....no matter how hard I try. I'm sooo used to complaining and whining all day that I forget to stop and enjoy all the lil things that bring great joy in life. I'm starting to learn some lessons watching my husband.....managing work, school, me, NFL...he's such a saint! He once told me...don't fret over lil things.....all the lil things u fret over will bundle up & u'll end up worrying about things that don't matter.....and in turn bother me :) That is sooo true!! Learning to chill & relax!
