June 10, 2026 Diary Entry | Idli, Lemon Iced Tea & A Simple Day

  June 10, 2026 | Idli, Iced Tea & Waiting for Rain Today started exactly the same way most of my days do these days—I woke up early and went for my morning walk. Honestly, I'm starting to enjoy this routine. There's something peaceful about beginning the day without rushing into it. Today's breakfast was different though. Mom had made idli, chutney, and sambar. The moment I saw the plate, I immediately remembered that random meme: "dosa, idli, sambar, chutney, chutney" and couldn't stop laughing to myself. Anyways, I had my idlis with podi masala, sambar, and chutney, and it was so good. Soft idlis, flavorful sambar, and that extra kick from the podi masala—definitely one of those breakfasts that makes you want a second serving even when you're already full. And of course, I followed it up with a cup of coffee. Creamy, comforting, and exactly how I like it. Since I didn't have much work today, I spent some time helping my dad at the shop. Nothing...

Returning to Writing After 3 Years

  Starting My Diary Again After 3 Years | June 9, 2026 Today is 9th June. Around this time last year, I was admitted to the hospital. Definitely not a memory I enjoy revisiting. Even thinking about it makes me a little nervous. At the same time, it reminds me how important it is to take care of our health. We often take it for granted until something goes wrong. But enough about that. Let's talk about today. I woke up early and went for my morning walk. Lately, I've stopped taking my phone with me. In fact, I try not to use my phone at all until at least 10 a.m. I wanted to give myself a few screen-free hours after waking up. The walking area is very close to my house, so I'm not worried about missing anything important. If there's ever an emergency, my family knows where I am, and there are plenty of familiar people around. Honestly, walking without my phone feels different. There's no scrolling, no notifications, no constant urge to check something. Just me, the f...

Day 1: Pune to Mumbai – Heat, Hunger, Chaos & The Start of My Journey

  🌄 The Beginning of My Trip Day 1 started with a mix of excitement and nervousness. I woke up early, packed my bags, and headed to Swargate bus stand in Pune to begin my journey to Mumbai. I had planned to take a Shivneri bus to Dadar, even though my train was from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus — it just felt like the most practical option. By 1 PM, I was finally on my way. 🎟️ Long Queue & Booking Reality Before the journey even began, there was already a struggle waiting for me. At Swargate bus stand, I had to stand in line for almost 30 minutes . There were so many people heading to Mumbai — it was honestly packed. The ticket cost me around ₹450–₹500 , which felt a bit expensive, but I didn’t really have any other option. And honestly, the most frustrating part? Online booking wasn’t reliable at all. I don’t know if it’s improved now, but at that time I could only see basic non-AC buses online. The better buses like Shivneri either didn’t show up or weren’t avai...

Nepal Trip Cancelled?! My Mumbai Travel Story & IRCTC Waitlist Nightmare 💔🏔️

The Trip That Never Began | Mumbai to Nowhere 💔🏔️ 13th April. The day I was supposed to finally leave for Nepal. I had imagined this day so many times — the excitement, the journey, the feeling of starting something I had been waiting for. But the day had other plans. I woke up early, already feeling a little uneasy. At first, I ignored it, thinking it was just nervous excitement. But within some time, I started coughing… and then suddenly, I felt worse and even threw up. For a moment, I paused. Should I cancel? But then I looked at my packed bags. Months of planning… and I still decided to go ahead. (Looking back, maybe I should’ve listened to my body 😅) After getting ready, I did my usual prayers, took blessings, and left. There was still hope. I booked a bus to Mumbai — ₹950. The journey felt longer than usual, maybe because I wasn’t feeling my best. Still, the excitement of the trip kept me going. By around 5 PM, I reached Dadar. My train was at 10 PM. Which meant I had time — t...

Bangalore Day 1 Experience – Metro, Food, Bike Rental & Travel Tips

Bangalore Travel Day 1 – Metro, Bike Rental, Food & Real Experience Our Bangalore trip started on a slightly chaotic note. Thanks to a 2-hour train delay, we reached the city around 6 PM instead of the planned 4 PM. Frustration levels? High. Hunger levels? Even higher. To make matters worse, we had some interesting (annoying) co-passengers on the train. Picture this: a family munching nonstop like they hadn’t eaten in a month, along with hyperactive kids who somehow found endless ways to entertain—or irritate—everyone around them. 🚉 Arrival in Bangalore – First Impressions Despite the delay and chaos, there was still excitement as we finally arrived in Bangalore. Instead of opting for expensive cabs or autos, we decided to take the metro to save both time and money. 🚇 Metro Travel from Yeshwantpur to Lalbagh We took the metro from Yeshwantpur to Lalbagh, which cost ₹33 per person, along with an unexpected ₹30 luggage charge. The journey took around 30 minutes and was honestly a s...
