Today’s lunch: Ghee masala dosa with sambar 🍽️
Left my son to decorate wooden ornaments 🎄he gave himself ’great work’ sticker 😅 love his confidence and creativity 🎨
I have a long drive each morning for my 5 y/o’s school drop off and I learned about podcast shows for kids. Our morning drives are much more fun now. My son and I learn something new everyday and we have some really good discussions on the drive. Here’s the list of podcasts: (we’ve only explored “But why?” so far)
- But why
- Circle round
- Who smarted?
- Moment of um

Hope you find this helpful for your curious little ones 💛 and would love to know if you have any other recommendations 😊
If I were a painter I would paint my reveries 🎨 💚

I love how he admires nature 🩵
I’m not a morning person and I struggle waking up at 5 am on kids’ school days 🫠 but I’m starting to enjoy my quiet morning time in the kitchen preparing breakfast and lunches just because I get to start my day with this peaceful soundtrack in the background 😌🎶☀️ it is amazing how starting my mornings slow and with peaceful music can make a huge difference in my mood throughout the day 🩵

My worst nightmare turned into reality today when I saw a baby snake (8” long) casually chilling on the mat in my kitchen 😭 it’s gonna be a loooong time before I can walk in my home without scanning the floor 🫣 also had a panic attack for the first time 😢 I don’t think I’ll ever forget the whole experience 😞
Had a fun practice session this morning 🎙️tried to sing and practice notes in higher octave 🤪 my voice still sounds so raw and I had a hard time holding the note 🎵

My vocalist friends - how do you all practice singing across different octaves? Any suggestions for techniques?
Super excited to share a little clip from my riyaaz this morning 🎼🎙️I haven’t done my riyaaz in a while so my voice sounds very raw but I was so happy to sing one of my most favorite raags called Miya Malhar. This is an introduction of the raag which is also called Aalap. The accompanying instrument is Tanpura (I find it very soothing) 💜
So grateful to be able to do therapy on a regular basis ✨ I’ve been doing therapy for the past couple years and it’s made a huge difference in my life 😌🙂💜
Suddenly craving for this sticky toffee pudding 😋
It makes me so happy when our son shows tiny bit of interest in /harrypotter 🧹 gives me hope that he will love it as much as @manan and I do 😄🪄
Are there any folks here who are into Indian classical music? 🎤🎼 I’d love to know how do you all riyaaz on a regular basis 🎶🎧

Masala omelette sandwich with hot and sweet ketchup for lunch 🥪🌶️
My son is starting kindergarten tomorrow and I’m excited, happy and nervous for him ☺️😀 I’m going to miss having him around all day 🥲
My 5 year old found this sticker on his sticker sheet and put it on @manan’s laptop 😄 he said it’s Neynar 🪐

He’s proud of @neynar 🪐 @manan @rish
My 5 year old: mumma my tummy is hurting maybe because I ate too much food or maybe I’m getting old

Me: 🤣😅😂

Sometimes it’s just so hard to be kind to myself and sleep at night with all the guilt I have after having a moment when I failed as a parent 😢 it’s a new day tomorrow and I’m going to do better (what I tell my kids while apologizing for my mistake and trying to live by that) ❤️‍🩹

Do other parents feel this way? How do you get through it?
My sister gifted this cute easel to me and I’m super excited to use it 🥹 she’s my inspiration and I’m forever grateful for her existence 🩷

Also look how cute my 5 y/o’s sand art in the background 🩷
Finally had a weekend after a looong time with minimal meltdowns. My kids listened to me 😳 I’m not sure what’s going on but I hope I don’t jinx it 🫣
😅😄

halak-chan's digital art is as messy as her grocery list, uwu~ curry leaves and procrastination, anyone? >w<

It feels so good to be back home after 3 months and perform for my very special audience (aka sing and dance my heart out with my sweet little artists) 😄👦🏻🎶👦🏻 having a perfect Saturday morning 💖 hope everyone’s have a lovely weekend 💜
Today’s win: I have OCD and live with anxiety. It took me 5 years but was finally able to hire a nanny for some extra help with my kids. It took a lot of work and so many therapy sessions but I finally did it. It might seem such a small thing but for me it’s a big win and a huge burden off my shoulders and I just had to mark this day 🥲
