Six Things Sunday/// 1. Set up a writing journal this week and it was so satisfying. 2. Burnt some food while cooking this evening, it has literally never happened to me before. 😭 3. I hate summer so much. Sweating feels like dying. 4. I've been here for 6 months now. 6 Months! 5. I sometimes can't quite wrap my head around how we've lived like this for over a year?! A whole year. Our old lives seem so far away. 6. The plan for tonight is to read a little bit, watch a film and take a nice long shower and do a bit of skincare. . . . #sixthingssunday #thoughts #journal #journaling #writersjournal #writerscommunity #stationeryblogger #stationeryaddict #stationerylovers #plannergirl #planningcommunity #postitfortheaesthetic #postcard #stickers #typography #moodygrams #delightfullyordinary #darlingdaily #sunday (at West Bengal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNiMnsWp0KT/?igshid=103wzyy2qggd9

Six Things Sunday/// Six Happy Things: 1. Little flower pots and blooming flowers. 2. Sticking my head out the car window (a little bit like a doggo) and feel the mountain air whip my face...in a good way. 3. Happy faces and happy people living their best lives. It makes me happy to see people happy and thriving. 4. A well-made sandwich. Simple but delicious. 5. Dressing up. Putting on makeup and feeling amazeballs and pretty and lovely and wonderful. 6. Rains in the mountains. . . . #sixthingssunday #flowerphotography #flowersofinstagram #flowers #postitfortheaesthetic #pursuepretty #pursuitofhappiness #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plants #plantlover #thatsdarling #aesthetic #ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ #vsco #vscoindia #vscocam (at Margaret's Deck- Goodricke Teapot) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMIEXGRFA2E/?igshid=12z4stxdm6gll

Six Things Sunday/// 1. Old fashioned Bengali things have my heart. These haanth pakhas are so drenched in Bengaliana. 2. It's finally getting cold here. 3. Spent the evening chatting up a storm with my grand-aunt and aunt. 4. I love that I come from long line funny and spirited women. 5. I haven't read a single line today. And it's OK. 6. I've been away from Bombay for close to 2 months now and I honest don't miss a whole lot. I miss my books, some of my clothes and Indigo Deli food but that apart I don't miss a whole lot. I think I might secretly be a small town girl. . . . #smalltownlife #smalltown #onlyinbengal #bengali #postitfortheaesthetic #sixthingssunday #sundayvibes #fans #nostalgia #moodygrams #light #chasinglight #flashesofdelight #pursuepretty #slowlife #slowliving #visualsoflife #incredibleindia #indiapictures #thehappynow (at Jalpaiguri) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqVGoAVnv2h/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1skfi4pfazt16

Six Things Sunday/// On a Monday morning because I inexplicably slept off at 10 last night! Old age, is this your doing? 👵🏾 1. Starting my morning with a smoothie and my current read. And a good mood. I am excited for this new week and the start of the new month. 2. This weekend I watched some of new Nagin, and oh boy! It not only has a Nag Rani but also a woman with aspirations of being a chudailo ki Rani! 🧟At least it has strong women in leadership roles. 3. The plan for today is to finish my book and then spend a good amount of time pulling out my TBR for #indianbooksinaugust I am so excited to be reading books from India and the Indian Subcontinent all of August. I have books from all corners of India and books from Sri Lanka and Bangladesh and several books from Pakistan on my list! If you fancy joining me, please do! I'd love some company! 🙋 4. I just can't watch Bollywood award shows anymore. They are so full of themselves and more and more seem like a private party for Kjo and his cronies! Ugh! 5. If you didn't know this about me you ought to...I am an excellent mosquito killer. Like seriously! I can kill them with one hand! It's a talent I wish I could put on my CV. And it's a talent my Baba is most proud of. He thinks I get it from him and his dad, who was legit hunter! And has killed man-eating Bengal tigers. My poor grandad must be not pleased to have my mosquito killing be compared to his marksmanship! 6. Man I am feeling chatty today! I should harness this chatty energy into something useful! Have a good Monday folks. . . . #thoughts #musings #aboutme #Monday #sixthingssunday #list #writersofig #booksofinstagram #unitedbookstagram #longcaption #bookstagram #bookstagramindia #bookgasm #bookgeek #bookworm #mornings #pages #bookmark #booksandcoffee #aesthetic #aesthetictumblr #bibliophile #flashesofdelight

Six Things Sunday/// This week included: 1. Writing. Editing. Pruning. And releasing a new set of stories out in the world. 2. Reading a fair bit. Reading some old favourites, Ishiguro. Re-reading a book I had forgotten I had read. 3. Books in the mail. 4. Happy mail. For eg. this bookmark and the pouch in the next image. 5. Hot, humid, icky days. Ugh. Baarish wapas aa jaa bhai. I am melting. 6. Maa giving us all a scare. There is nothing worse than seeing your parents getting older and frailer. Thankfully, Maa is better now. But it's been a scary few days. In The Pictures: Some snippets of the week that was. Book and bookmark. A new pencil pouch. Writing journal and daily journal. . . . #sixthingssunday #sunday #life #littlethings #photodump #kuji #momentsofmine #bookmarkcollection #bookmarks #pouch #bees #stationeryaddict #stationerylovers #writerscommunity #writersofig #writerswrite #delightfullyordinary (at West Bengal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTu7BQlBPUc/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Raksha Bandhan to allll the siblings 💞 Here are six of my favourite bhai-behens from Bollywood. Tell me some of yours..tell tell. Here are some honourable mentions: The bromance of Jai and Veeru too. And the angsty brothers of Deewar. Sita and Geeta. Viren and Prem from Lamhe. The kids from Khoon Bhaari Maang...man they went through a lot. A lot! Dead dad. Mom remarries a cad. Get eaten by a crocodile. Comes back after a sexy 80s makeover. So much drama in their little lives. 🐊 Man Bollywood is a gift that keeps giving. . . . #bollywood #sixthingssunday #sixthings #list #rakshabandhan #bhai #behen #funny #humour #listed #favourites #sisters #musings #happyday #thehappynow #festival #films #nostalgia #indianfilms #india https://www.instagram.com/p/CS4gh9qJNfg/?utm_medium=tumblr

Six Things Sunday/// 1. Bhai just take me to the hills and just leave me there. 2. This has been such a joyful week. The medals at the Olympics has made all of us so happy and so proud. 3. My reading has been very on track this weekend. I've read one and a half books and it's been all good. 4. My sister had a brilliant reading weekend. She read some three books! She was a reading machine. Go @kookycookie go 💖 5. My parents and I hate watch so many Bengali TV shows, they are so bad, so bad that they're good. For instance, we watched something where the hero was poisoned and had passed out. His hysterical wife and family were standing around fighting with each other instead of rushing him to the hospital. Because jaan jaaye par jhagda hona chahiye. 6. Now we are watching Dance Bangla Dance which is OK unless kids dance in creepy, suggestive ways. Hai! It's pretty unsettling. . . . #sixthingssunday #musings #places #travel #takemeback #tbt #sunday #light #postitfortheaesthetic #pursuepretty #alittlebeautyeveryday #vsco #delightfullyordinary #list #moodygrams #slowlife #thoughts #visualsoflife #life #lifeisgood #hillstation #thehappynow (at Mayfair Himalayan Spa Resort) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSUVimYpABU/?utm_medium=tumblr

Six Things Sunday/// 1. Something about August makes me feel like the year is almost over. The end is nigh. 2. I have always loved stationery. Always. The joy of a new pen, even a cheap ballpen was special. Colourful gel pens, elegant ink pens, sweet smelling erasers and notebooks and stickers. So much to love. 3. I don't think I'll be buying a planner next year. I have an undated planner from Kikkik that I bought in 2019 and am really looking forward to use in 2022. I might also do a spot of Bujo-ing. 4. I took an ill-timed nap today. Feel rested but so guilty. 5. I am excited for my reading this month. I just hope I read alll the books I've kept aside for this month. My TBR is up on the blog is you want to give it a read. Link in bio. 6. My sister has had a very productive reading weekend! She has read three books and is most chuffed!

Six Things Sunday/// Six Joys from Today: 1. Gauvas. The kind that are a pretty pink on the inside. A kind jethu (Uncle) dropped off a bag full of fruit this morning and made my day. I miss hanging out with my favourite jethus, kakus and maashis and didas. I haven't spent any time with my extended family and I miss our adda sessions so so so much. 2. Reading a book from a favourite book series and being transported back to a familiar world, full of some favourite characters. Reading the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, fyi, some of my favourite books ever. Plus a good way to travel to Botswana. 3. A bit of art Journaling. Dinky. But a good way to unwind. 4. Feeling better after a whole week of being ill in my body. Started this week with the much appreciated jab. Seriously, super grateful I managed to get one. But not quite pleased with the fever, intense body ache and sleepless nights. Today for the first time in days I felt normal. 5. Cooking kadhai paneer. Eating Maa made French Toast. Drinking sister made coffee. Lots of food based joy today. 6. There was also watching some ridiculous Bangla TV shows that make us roll our eyes and bitch and laugh. Unintentionally funny shows are the best. In The Picture: A moment of calm. Coffee and Journal. . . . #sixthingssunday #sundayreads #sundayvibes #moodygrams #alittlebeautyeveryday #momentsofmine #livethelittlethings #postitfortheaesthetic #pursuepretty #aesthetic #stationeryaddict #stationerylovers #stationerysunday #journal (at Jalpaiguri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRwjNjnJPin/?utm_medium=tumblr

Six Things Sunday/// My Ideal Sunday Consists Of: 1. Pancakes. Most often Banana and Oats Pancakes topped with Maple Syrup and Nutella. 2. Staying in bed for as long as I can. Ideally, never get out of bed. Reading. Curled up with my pillows and a good book. Occasionally losing time on my phone. But mostly reading. Always reading. 3. Iced-Coffee. Maybe a couple of cups. I love trekking to the kitchen: finding a favourite mug the larger the better, brewing a cup, topping it off with caramel and loads of ice and ambling back to bed. 4. Sleeping in. A perfect day would include no doorbells, no packages and no phonecalls. Peace and Quiet reign supreme in my perfect Sunday. 5. Oiling my hair, doing something kind for my stressed out tresses. Slapping on a face mask if I am being good. Maybe even scrubbing my body and slathering it in some delicious body butter. 6. Ordering in. Not cooking. No chopping. No sweating into a puddle of nothing. Pouring over menus, ordering something delicious. Maybe Biryani and some kababs or nachos or pasta or some deli sandwiches. The options unlimited. The joy unparalleled. All good things.
