Adorbs
There's the most gorgeous looking silver cat who comes outside my house looking for food sometimes . 
Hmm
James bond doesn't know hot to stay sober apparently and in fact this movie should have been called 014 cuz there are two 007 in it!
Explosions don't kill him, he's a bumbling agent who is lucky enough to just survive by a hair breadth and I don't know what to say except I don't much enjoy bond movies and in fact if it keeps going on like this they'll soon merge with the fast and furious franchise.
However this new movie has a stellar casting credit! The entire couple minute long piece of casting is done better than the entire movie.

Hollow
I don't know when halloween came and went and I don't much care, except this particular area today was infested with the festivities. 
It's been happening this entire weekend now and I've never seen this area so crowded.
Ice cream yes
My brother just sent me this image and told me how much I'm gonna absolutely love this ice cream!! 
And I know I'm gonna love it.
I mean come on! Crackle ice cream.
Yes please
Done
Watched 'dune' today and it was something of a visuals spectacle.
The director I believe was the same as 'blade runner 2049' and he has this way of making bleakness look spectacular on a grand canvas.
The movie might have been 10 hours long but each minute an enthralling extravaganza which is impossible to look away from.
I loved it, oh I loved it absolutely and enjoyed every moment of it.
I am wondering if I shouldn't give those novels a look see now.

Whoah
On this day last year I went through hell to board a flight and then it was one test after another after another...
How did I cope up?!
Yes that's right, cuz of you..

As it goes and then it does
In a short while today is going to turn into bit of a hectic ride because tomorrow is picnic day! 
So?
Well, that mean I have to make the preparations for it today because tomorrow we leave early, right after the housekeeper leaves and there won't be much time to do any prep tomorrow; not least because I don't care to keep making a mess in the kitchen while it's getting cleaned.
I think I'm going to make extra pizza today, so that it can be packed tomorrow and cut up some veg to dip with hummus, packs some fruits and some crunchy snacks and that should be it.
Apart from that there will be a flask of coffee which will get made tomorrow and I think that should be it!
Okay then.
To the kitchen to punch some dough.
There’s smoothie too
Lunch today is a bowl of sorts. 
There's sweet potatoes mashed as the base. A few dollops of hummus and a side of garlic chili prawns.
And now
Friday treats! 
I have here a bao and an extra half mug of tea in the kettle because I am going to sit outside and just be for a while .
Morning shopping
I have once again bought a couple bao's today to have with my morning tea.
I don't know why it is but I have started feeling extra hungry these mornings.
I don't know why it is but I have started feeling extra hungry these mornings.
This morning was
This was in preparation for lunch this morning. 
A couple sandwiches loaded with hummus and veggies and I cannot get over how creamy this hummus came out yesterday.
I need to make it my blendtec more often now. In fact that's all I'm ever gonna make it in.

Agitate imperative
What is it about Thursday that leaves me feeling tainted enough to gouge someone's eyes out!
To think I started the day on a nice note and now for some reason I feel like getting in a fight.
Ugh!
Let's see I was going to make someone feel better but instead I got rubbed off the wrong way and somehow that sickness is smeared all over me now.
Not that it was the intention I'm guessing but I'm always an eager ear to listen to aches and pains if there be and totally there to 'empathize', but somewhere in that labyrinthine emotion of listening to half hearted ramblings I begin feeling if there is even some intention to talk or say anything?
I mean I'm here to listen but I don't like to stay sitting looking at someone not interested in either talking or hurting.
I'm not selfish, most certainly not and in fact I want to be a helpful listener instead of being a bored tourist on the screen!
I'm not one for incumbent talks, there's nothing mandatory between us and I'd rather have you tell me that you're too out of it to talk and that you want to maybe just listen or actually talk to me, tell me everything you're feeling in a way that doesn't make me feel like I'm an obligation.
I hate feeling like a furniture in a room that has to be dealt with or just be with.
I think we have our spouses to fulfill that duty.

What goes in a lunch box sometimes
The lunch I packed today. 
There's a rice noodle salad with chickpeas, a miso dressing on the side and a yogurt bowl with pomegranates, berries and dates for dessert.

True romance
Darling won't you
Tell me
Filthier things
each time
when we liaison
Through wires and WiFi
That make my heart
Bloom with blood
And weep with shame
Tell me

And weep with shame
Sigh winds
Nighttime and I see me
on a window
of someone else's house
drawing curtains
almost shocked myself
To see someone
Looks exactly like me
So terribly alone
When it was
In fact my reflection
Solemn in its duty
Jaded in her actions
how can pulling curtains
Look so painful?

epidermal fuss
There isn't enough cream in this world to keep me moisturized in winters.
Come winters and I start flaking away. It's a constant need and want to keep my hands, face and feet moisturized. My hands feel paper-like and I have to continuously keep applying a thick moisturiser.
It's come to a point where I'm actually going to start keeping pump bottles of moisturiser or thick lotions in all my rooms and bathrooms and especially inside the kitchen.
Each time I wash my hands my skin begins to feel stretchy and annoyingly dry and I'm nothing short of embalming myself.
My skincare routine has suddenly gotten complicated too. It's like one thing after another after another. and even then I find my skin underneath all the lotions cracking up. I\m telling you this is some next level dryness I feel.
Wednesday morning rush
Another day another bao.
I don't why it is but I wanted to have one of these pillowy babies with my tea today.
So glad there's are a couple Chinese breakfast shops right outside my house.
Right then!
The housekeeper is here and I have my morning fairly relaxed.
Tea! Yes please.
Some upper body workout today and clicking pictures for a recipe that will also be my lunch and a lot of typing.

In the middle of a full fledged dinner preparation!
Edit- I'd written this just a while back but I didn't get to send it.

Updates
Morning and here I am.
In the backyard
With a mug of tea
Wondering if I should clean up a bit but seeing how trees are shedding I don't think that's a good idea and anyways looks like I might get a bit busy.
My neighbour from previous compound, the one who abandoned her cat is coming over to see the said cat and meet him and what not.
I don't think it'll be a long meeting but she will arrive at 13:00 and I don't think she'll be here for long.
Anyways I want to finish my workout and my lunch before that.
Here's hoping!

Now then
Today has been most productive!
Meera got his rabies shot much to his chagrin and that's a lot of important work done.
It was being put off for a while but it's fine how and I'll glad for it.
The weather is gorgeous.
There was a bit of shopping that got done and now for some dinner that will be had outside because the prospect of eating 'sambhar chawal' and not pizza for dinner is putting off to some people!
Sighs.
The one week I don't make pizza!

What happened?
Who me?
I've dined and wined In the sense proper after having eaten enough and drinking two limoncellos after dinner that is after finishing a beer before dinner!
It's by no means a lot since the limoncellos are served as a digestif and one gets perhaps about 20 mls but by the heavens it's potent and I'm not drunk but my face is red and my soul is glowing.

Today!
I have been extremely productive, not least because the weather is stunningly gorgeous!
Absolutely the best autumnal weather there should be.
No rains, no overcast skies, just bright sun and cool wind.
I have taken the opportunity accorded today to sun all the duvets and their covers.
This had me scrambling the entire part of the morning and I'm thankful that that housekeeper took care of my house in the background as I shuffled between floors.
Ah! It's a bright gorgeous day!how should I make the most of it?
Maybe I'll go to a nearby park!
Maybe I'll ride around on my scooter.
Even sitting in my backyard feels lovely, which is what I'm doing .
The birds are twittering at full throttle and I can't imagine how many birds are actually perched above me as my bright white duvets sun outside!

Munday
Who me?
Just finished stuffing a duvet into its cover. The duvet I showed light today.
The duvet that is a bit heavy for this weather.
Tomorrow I repeat with the lighter ones.

Sans Celluloid
Starting next month a whole lot of English language movies are gonna release!
I'm gonna pre book my tickets for everything.
Let's see, there's tomorrow's war, dune and 007 as far as I can see.
Maybe there will be more in between but currently these are the movies slated for release.
Finally!
The last movie I watched in theatre was fast and furious 9, was it? I guess yeah. Since then it's been a dry spell.
There's political agenda and pandemic agencies behind this mess but I hope the fog lifts and things resumes again.

To do
I am making plans for today!
After my workout maybe I want to go out on my scooter and just ride for a bit!
The weather is stupendous! It's bright and sunny and light. Deliciously windy, cooler than autumn but the breeze is refreshing and not hurting my face with its unyielding coldness.
I think I'll check out the teppanyaki restaurant nearby and maybe even buy some groceries.
And sit out in the park and just be.
I need comforting.

Friday is it you finally
There's a bit of sun out today and my balcony is lit! 
I deserve this, I need this. My morning solace is my right, my moment of leisure is my allspark!
Morning day
What on earth? 
I feel like my mornings aren't complete unless I don't listen to a bit of Metallica these days!
I think it's the weather.
Transitioning from Kishori Amonkar's morning ragas to Metallica and then to maybe some soft morning jazz .
I need something light in the background while I go about my daily chores and I think sometimes soft jazz or lofi is great for that .
It plays all day long even when I'm listening to other stuff in my study room.
It's like I step out of a room and there's some saxophone playing and I love having music all day long playing in the house like white noise, except it's not!
My cats seem to love it too, though I'm not sure if the my love metal!

This to today
Went out to pick a package and stopped buy to pick some coffee cuz seeing how fleeting my everyday has gotten I think I don't need to spend more time making stuff! 
Aha! About time
One moment I was upset about arranging the almirah and the other I realised it's almost 2 and I hadn't even had lunch! Not just lunch I'd not even showered! 
So here it is!
My take on a delicious kedgiree!
Lots of peanuts, curry leaves, fish and hard boiled eggs put together with rice and veg and spices!
It is delicious.
Plants not in motion
Who me?
About to a spend my workout time arranging clothes because my muscle pull ain't gonna have me stretching and lifting weights for today's power yoga work out.
And to think I'd planned a 30 minute circuit too.
Things like these get on my nerves.
What compelled me to stretch the way I'd did this morning is beyond me, but it's upsetting me now.

In the busy pursuit of mundane
Say one thing about this morning say I woke up with a muscle pulled on the left side of my back!
It's a spasm apparently and it happened in the early hours, moments before waking up when in my sleep I stretched to the right side and pulled myself back in a way that my left side felt almost cramped and now even breathing hurts!
Granted it was a lot worse in the first hour of the morning when every step made me cry in agony.
I must say it was a tad dramatic because everyone got worried.
Once I resumed my usual activities and kept crying intermittently what with the pain and all it got slightly better!
Today!
Ah what a malevolent start to an otherwise benign Thursday!
I will do a bit of tea in a while with a piece of toast and if my spasm feels better then power yoga it is for today!
Also there are winter clothing that need to be brought out and summer clothes that have to be archived for a while.
Also need to get out a thicker duvet cuz the current blankets aren't much help!
I think I felt a bit chilly under my thin blanket last night and it's time for the bigger guns if not the cavalry yet!

Aha
Checking out my favourite food website (foodgawker.com) that came much before Pinterest display the image of my latest post. 
This makes me happy!
And scene
Lunch today is an open faced tuna sandwich or rather two of them with a side of salad exactly the same as yesterday because I loved how delicious it tasted with the apples and the walnuts in a thin mayo dressing and I want to repeat the same taste again today! 
Twinky thots
The littlest one insists on sitting outside on a chair despite the cold and rain. He won't come home no matter how much I call him. 
Bipolar ears
Something to do with this rainy weather that makes me not want to listen to synth wave right now .
As I transitioned from classical to more daylight music I found myself going for the lofi jazz option. Something about this rainy wet cold weather that makes me crave warmth and sunshine, and somehow synth wave has a tang of steeliness to it and perhaps not what I want resonating with my mood right now.
Just as I was typing this I switched over to black mill because my mood seems to be all over the place.
I think I'm going to listen to a bit of Metallica's unforgiven after this.

Nighttime misses
Nighttime and the eyes grow weary
The head begins to tire
My heart hears a flutter
Evolving from somewhere
Behind my spine
through my toes
peaking into a smile
upon my lips

zinger snap
Say one thing about my mood say it's pretty annoyed
I am currently in the process of selecting pics for the recipe book and sending them to the graphic designer while I type the recipes and he betters the pictures and I am amazed how bad some photographs are looking to me. It's deeply upsetting also because at that moment perhaps these photos seemed fine.
And now I want to re-click these pictures again after I have actually finished clicking all the pics. here is another set of photos I need to take again.
What was I thinking that time?
These look so off.
I am upset. I am angry and I am irritated.
Gluten heart
At the bread shop which doubles as a French restaurant to buy bread because I had run out of flour and haven't made bread. 
Oh yes
Lunch today are a couple prawn patties. One on a slice of bread and one on the side with a huge thing of salad with lots of apples and walnuts. 
Also there's some smashed avocado because why not!!
Morning comes and tea happens
Went out to buy milk and got a couple bao as well. These are a Chinese breakfast staple. 
This morning they replace my toast and seeing how they're filled with meat and vegetables I think I'll have a full stomach before workout!

Burn baby burn
Roasting onions with a bit of ghee to add to a chutney I am making. It's a special recipe. 
Agenda
Today's workout is going to be a brutal lower body strength workout with a bit of cardio and then it's a lot of typing.
Yes, today is typing a whole lot of recipes.
I'm wondering if I can't start working out in my backyard now!

The days zoomed
Who me?
Finally sitting down with a cup of coffee because it's only now that I've been able to take a breather.
Today got out of hand what with some people coming over at a time when it was too late for lunch and too early for tea and so coffee it was with some home made brownies, bread and a side of baked pasta in tomato sauce.
Not quite a meal not exactly snacks .
This kept me extra busy since morning and phew!
My meals today have been haphazard at best.
Also ended up putting a lot of large plants and what not indoors cuz it's gotten cold enough to kill some of these tropical plants.
The weather has turned and I might have to start wearing socks indoors .

Something in the way
The new batman movie better pleasantly surprise me cuz the more I watch it's trailers the more I feel disheartened!
It's got too many people in it!
I don't like The new batman! And why has he been made to look like a Rasmus reject? I mean what's with the green day makeup?
But you never know! Maybe he'll shine and hang himself upside down and become the ultra awesome batman!
Somehow calling himself 'vengeance' doesn't go down with his demeanour.
:( I'm tying to be extremely optimistic about this. However I'm into the new age handling of this book. Live streaming murder?! Yes please.

forekact
How does it go from feeling like a swamp to suddenly needing a light jacket? Not denim jacket, not flannel shirts but a light jacket.
The weather suddenly changed in 24 hours and I wasn't even looking.
It jumped a generation of winter wear and I am not happy about it.
I mean I had just ironed my shrugs and flannels and it suddenly looks like it's gonna be trenchcoat from now on. Come on!
Also 'people' are under the weather with cough and cold and this is influenza season.
Should I get a flu shot?
The only thing I don't like is that it is raining along with everything else. Gimme the wind, keep the rain.
Sound
The local government is promoting this area by holding a small concert here this evening and tomorrow too. 
Looks like it might be fun.
Also, it's cold now
Current thought
Hmm. 
I wanted to air and sun a lot of my winter clothing.
Will I be able to do it this week?

Saviour complex
I saved a frog from my cats jaws!
Not because I have some sort of renewed love for ugly amphibian life forms but because I do not want to see a half dead frog with its entrails hanging out trying to crawl in my backyard, smearing the floor with streaks of blood and other goo.
No I can't have that.
Just yesterday I had to euthanise two praying mantises. Poor virgins!
Because one of my cats 'twinkle' thought it fun to play with the poor things and ripped them apart in a way that their girlfriends wouldn't dream of.
It was most gross!

New day old stuff
I woke up too early, then slept again and then woke up again a bit late-ish. Around 8:45 and that's all it took me to zoom around the house like I was sitting on a tornado.
The humidity persists, nay, stays in suspended animation all around and inside the house.
Once again I have to deal with the damp smell and need to wash all the cushion covers and throws.
But the problem is there is no sun out, it's raining and overcast and so showing it some light is out of question.
I have to use the drier to dry them and it doesn't feel the same anymore with the drier.
I love how fresh the clothes feel after a nice bit of sunning.
I don't know why the weather changed from a day of pleasant autumnal cold to late summer moisture laden wetness!
I mean haven't I already dealt with this weather a couple months ago? Once again I'm burning camphor to refresh the house. The only difference this time is that the temperatures are not as high and so I'm not sitting and getting steamed like earlier.
This is hardly a saving grace.
It's Friday and I'm already complaining!
Well, today packs a punch.
There's a lot to do.
Uploading a new food blog and getting on with rets of the typing of recipes.
I am almost there with the book.
I guess I'd say I'm about 60% done.
Right then!
Away we go!

I am almost there with the book.
I guess I'd say I'm about 60% done.
Right then!
Away we go!

Update
Right!
Lunch done, cats fed, house cleaned (again) laundry done and now I go on to make a cake which is a walnut and fig cake with a butterscotch sauce.
Once this is done then we go ahead and prep for dinner.
Dinner is going to be shahi paneer, pulao, chapaati, raita and I think that is about it.
Okay then! M

Listening to myself
Thursday and I am a puddle of ughs!
Today's agenda includes baking a cake.
Making paneer and cooking up a feast.
The only flip side to today is that it's raining and it's humid and almost feels like a swamp.
The insides of my house are so damp I don't understand how to mop my floors that are still sort of moist from yesterday.
The foot and slipper prints on the tiles and wooden flooring is making me want to burn some sort of fire in the house to suck away the moisture because my dehumidifier can't cope up.
It keeps filling up every couple hours with water which just goes on to show how extra humid it is.
My bedroom, which is my sanctity is also suffering from a similar fate and nighttime's are not my favourites because it's both cold and wet.
I've not even bothered to step into my backyard to sweep away the leaves because I know it's going to be such a pain because the rains are making the trees shed extra and I don't have the drive in me currently to jazz up everything.
The house is clean.
All the fans are on full.
Oils are burning, reeds are diffusing and candles are lit.
What else am I supposed to do?

And it winds down
I hate how important index fingers are and how utterly useless I am without being able to currently use mine!
In other news today was hectic, wet and extremely silly.
My friend ruined the surprise and then tried to cover it up.
Tomorrow looks to be very okay

My dear friends
Also my friend is about to drop in any moment.
I've not even had tea.
Not bathed and she's about to come.
I was planning to go to a certain place which has a lot of designer shops and boutique stores to buy a present and my friend suggested she accompany me and we spend the day together cuz it's been a while since we met.
I mean I am in no mood to make breakfast or anything.
I'll probably just give some coffee or tea and lunch will be in the local noodle shop cuz I can't be bothered to do anything.
I mean how does one just come to someone's house at 10?

Gah tearing out my hair that are frizzy
It rained all night and morning and the weather has turned into an overcast hamam!
I don't know how does this happen?
Yesterday people were stepping out in denim jackets and overnight it suddenly turned so wet and icky humid that the floors of my house, the tiles and even the railings feel wet to the touch.
I mean this is humidity central.
I don't know how weather can be so exceedingly topsy turvy!
I have turned all the dehumidifiers but I doubt they'll make a dent.
What I need is an industrial sized dehumidifier.
My house has been mopped but it's not drying and there are footprints being made all over.
I simply do not like this.
Just yesterday I mentioned the cool almost cold wind and suddenly it's gotten so extremely damp and airless that I can't begin to fathom the nature of this totally shitty weather and why it won't just give us a break and dry up a little so I can stop feeling like I'm constantly submerged in something lukewarm!

This looks sus
I'm at the most gauche fucking gaudy restaurant! 
Just ordered the meal and here's hoping.
I'm not too hopeful and by the heavens this is a place far far away in another district.
