Here are a few things that I am grateful for:
1. Papa is well.
2. I just finished reading Nora Ephron's 'Heartburn'. It's a lovely book - in parts a tad synthetically dramatic (as is wont to be since it is written by a popular screenwriter. (She wrote When Harry met Sally, You've Got Mail, Mixed Nuts, etc.) It's a loosely fictionalized story of her second divorce from a political columnist or reporter. He cheats on her when she is pregnant and she tries to cope with it until she can't. It's interspersed with wit, humour, some precise observational humor that one enjoys, and it's lovely. (Wrote about it here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/book-6-heartburn-nora-ephron-mukta-raut-vtpyf)
3. Had a good chat with a colleague. Sometimes when shit hits the fan and things are breaking all around you, you stay curious and detached. Just observe with the lens that one day you will write about it.
4. Regular cleaning lady came today.
5. Managed to control my temper. A little slipped out. But overall managed to control it.
What did I learn today?
1. A really good recipe of a custardish thing - you roast makhana and blend it with a banana and curd until it is thick. You could sweeten it as well. Then you slice strawberries and top it prettily and also use chia seeds. Pop it in the fridge. It is gorgeous!
