A Hundred Days Of This - Day 30

About a year ago I started putting together the vision board for 2025 and one of the images for it was a wide angle shot of a couple admiring paintings in a museum. I have a special place for museums in my heart and today, my husband and I visited the Swedish Glass Museum in Växjö. I barely checked the reviews it had and stepped inside with minimum expectations (a must if you are exploring museums). The exhibits and the detailed process of glass making, with a very interesting commentary from my husband, did blow away my mind. The interplay of both art and science resulted in some beautiful and awe inspiring pieces. And a few them can be found at the Numaish to bargain for 200 rupees too. Just kidding. I am too naive to judge their skills and artistry.


Now I am going to add visiting more museums to the 2026 vision board. I also lost very gracefully in a game that I taught my husband. Or you can say I let him win it. Anyway, 30 days are over since I started this side project? Congratulations, Soumya, you deserve a treat from Tårtagraden!

And that's Day 30 for you!

A Hundred Days Of This - Day 2

Image
I planned an amazing surprise last night for my husband's birthday only to reveal it myself accidently before he got the chance to discover it. A quintessential 'thaalam vesithini, gollem marachithini' scenario. Sigh. But he didn't complain at all because hey, he got to joke about it all day long!  Today I took inspiration from Monika Gellar and cleaned up (half of) our apartment. Thank you husband (he made me type this, ugh!) We also got to know that going through IKEA website is an interesting activity for a couple and decided that a mandolin slicer is an absolute necessity. It is all fun and games until the man drops the word air fryer in every second sentence he speaks. Do we have space? No. Will he use it regularly? No. Then why the obsession? I do not know.  And also this happened. Cute no? An advice for today before I close this long, fun and eventful day - do no trust Elsamma. IYKYK. And that's Day 2 for you!

A Hundred Days of This - Day 1

It is 7 am here and I can see the sky slowly brightening and the snow glistening. It has been almost 4 months since I moved out of India and unlocked a new level of adventure - figuring things out from the scratch in your 30s. S krämmande men intressant!  Today marks the first day of the Telugu month - Maargasiram, according to our lunar calendar, and it is one of my favourite times of the year. Back at home my mother would cook the kattu pongali with a proportion of ghee, cashews and black pepper that warms up the soul instantly. She would also croon, probably itti mudduladi baaludedavaadu, randomly throughout the day and that song eventually becomes an earworm with me catching myself humming it along with her. She would also play the Bapu and Ramana's version of Thiruppavai on YouTube. My father would go to the Mahalakshmi temple in West Marredpally early in the morning and return with another delicious version of the pongali. Maybe it is not much but these are the things I remem...
