It has been a rather rough and tumble ride. My personal laptop is broken and that has hurt me. But I really don't want to spiral into a painful situation now. A couple of things happened today that hurt me a little but plenty more happened that made it okay. So, we will listen those out:

1. No panic calls from Vashi or brother. So Papa seems to be okay.

2. A friend brought Brun pav this morning. Fresh from Muhammad Ali Road. It was delectable...a sturdy, browned crusty layer with soft, cloud-like salty inside that was dense yet airy...every pav was a delectable piece of baked harmony. I ate one pav on its own and it was bliss! I ate another one lightly toasted with ghee and sliced bananas. The third one was with Dal Makhani and tandoori mushroom. It really was delicious! My cleaning lady had 1 and she loved it too. Now there are 2 remaining. We will have that with chai and masala and pineapple jam tomorrow. What a hopeful little plan for a Monday!

3. I heard a few things today that dimmed my joy. Won't get into details now but it goes to show that there are areas where I need to be stronger and emotionally resilient.

4. Managed to do some weights today.

5. Ordered from a place called FuelUp. There cauli rice was tasty. At night went to Starbucks to try their new jaggery coffee and a vegetarian tofu-spinach sandwich. That was okay. The croissant sandwich was nice but the coffee was meh!
