A Hundred Days Of This - Day 56

 Today I am at peace. It is a rare feeling that I get to experience, but I know it is quite familiar. I have done enough, worked hard enough, and prepared myself well enough to take the exam. Not bothered about the grade or the marks. At this point, I am more bothered about the narrative that is fed to my brain and the dopamine that hits me when I truly understand a concept. That feeling is unmatched!

After practising the questions for weeks now and figuring out why it is the way it is, studying Finance is probably one of the best decisions I have ever made because I am still figuring out logic in the exam hall with a pen in hand and eyes going back and forth between the cells on Excel. No matter how times I cry about Maths not leaving my life, the moment things click and I get to solve equations (with a lot of mistakes, of course), arriving at the answers definitely puts a smile on my face. Absolute bliss!

Today I wrote this on my formula sheet.

Hope there is more to this learning journey! Got to watch Eko now.


And that's Day 56 for you!

A Hundred Days Of This - Day 2

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...
