A Hundred Days Of This - Day 91

10 more days are left? That is it? I cannot believe I have come this far. It feels like I started this yesterday.

Today I convinced myself that it is fun to measure the distance from my apartment door to the grocery store in terms of songs. It took me 4 songs to get there. It had been a while since I plugged in my 'Playlist'. The only one that I guard with all my life. Surprisingly, Tujhse Naaraz Nahi Zindagi soothed me in a surprising way this evening. I needed that song.

I got lucky at Lidl and found some cute little baby potatoes on the aisle. So maybe it's Dum Aloo tomorrow. That should make me get out of the bed all excited. That is the best part about winters, fresh produce and great food.

The Vampire Diaries has made a come back into my routine and I almost forgot how significant that show was in contributing to that playlist of mine. I may have outgrown the show but one can never get enough of Damon Salvatore, right? Sigh. 

Stick around to see what I make of those potatoes. 

And that's Day 91 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...
