Tid-bits part 2

Days when I am less critical about self and doesn't take myself and life so seriously, I get these ideas and events that makes me laugh at myself.

Capturing a few of them here..

'Mixology' of life

World : Howz 2026 landing?
Me : Pretty well! Working (it) out...one seed at a time!

(Yeah, my masala box got jumbled up when my friend was cooking and I am now sitting and sorting it out, one side mustard seeds, sesame seeds, sea salt and cumin!)

Marga (Meaning Disha/ direction)

I was in a rush, had to pickup a friend on the evening of 30th 2025 and get back home and then start again to catch the night bus.

while riding from my home to her place, I got a long traffic jam and thankfully my quick decision making saved me as I took a left turn instead of right and used the connecting internal road.

While riding, I told myself that I better remember this juction which is connecting to the main road And started searching for a que, I saw a company board name ' Marga', which in Hindi means disha/ Direction and to have it byhearted, my mind told me - while returning, remember that whenever you see Marga, change your marg! 😃

Let's have flavour-full headache.

Yesterday, I had kept my day for daily chores and some bit of planning for 2026 (personal and professional ) as I am still in the Hangover of long gap from work...almost a month long and still not ready for the new year, even though I have some how landed in it!

But life took a bit of deviation when I tried to test my gut by gulping a few roasted groundnuts empty stomach and that triggered pitta imbalance and I got sever headache due to gastric hitting directly in my brain...Oof! So unbearable and the silliest thing is I had exactly the same case a week before, during night and I stay awake all night :(

But I am me; Logic rarely works! Had to feel it to believe it... even so called lessons that Groundnuts are to be avoided empty stomach.

All day I crawled from bed to floor in trying to get some ease, drank few different herbal teas, hor water, massaged ears and head etc...

 At one point, I got used to of the ache...and decided to paint with the pain..

I did it and on my table I saw a tamarind candy and gulped it telling myself - Let's have a tangy headache 🤦😁

9th Jan 2026 

Day 3 of the partial headache....and I stayed awake all night.

At one point, sipping jeera tea, trying to ease things for myself..I heard myself humming:

Pain Pain go away...

Only on the next line I paused to check I am not asking it to come another day and the I realised the actual word was Rain and not Pain 😃😃.

I smiled at this silly sweet gesture of brain ❤️
