Class, dust storm and Samosa

Learning online.

There was a dust storm in the afternoon, the half of sky was sunny and the other half was pitch black. The Sun had to go away and there was a rain again.

Samosas as evening snack. Bunny joining in, even though he refused to eat at first.

Petrichor, Hailstorm and orange skies

We were indoors as the heat was too much. Then it all went dark and cloudy. When Teetee and Bunny got outside it started with light drizzle. Then Bunny said he liked the smell all around. I tried to tell him it had a name 'petrichor' and he said he liked the name too.

Hell of a hailstorm. The black road after the rain got a white carpet of hailstones. It was such a wonder for kids. I enjoyed it along with them.

As part of our lockdown routine, we all went onto the terrace to play football. It was then the sky turned a really deep orange hue.

Tray, hair cut and a thumbs-up

In our 13 year old washing machine, the additives tray couldn't be fully opened and I had to use the soap dispenser tray for additives too. We wanted to fix it but were not able to due to Covid-19 lockdown. Today technician visited before 8 AM curfew and fixed the issue.Once I opened it I realized what I was missing actually.

I gave a haircut to my elder son, Teetee, after a month of persuasion. He couldn't carry his long hair finally due to increasing summer heat and gave into my words. It was third hair cut I did in this Covid-19 lockdown.

Teetee gave me a thumbs-up for the chola-bhatura I made for lunch. He couldn't say as his mouth was full.

Watering plants, birds and little help

We planted coriander and tomatoes from seeds two weeks back and kids take turns to water the seed pots. Yesterday kids saw seeds sprouting. They were so excited!! A motivation to continue watering the plants.

Honey started taking care of kids and getting them ready in the morning so that I can take care of kitchen and breakfast. I really appreciate that help as they get ready by the time online school starts.

Sleep laugh, extended cuddles and ice cream

Bunny, my younger son, chuckles while sleeping. He did again before he woke up. I am very curious to see what he dreams.

Cuddles with kids in the morning and then in the afternoon.

Afternoon ice-cream, while eating kids asked me if it's the world's best ice-cream. They made sure to tell Honey who brought it with groceries, in the first place.

Farewell!!, Call again and message

Today is the last day at work in the current job. Yes, I am at crossroads!!

Farewell messages from colleagues especially a video they made for me. I liked it a lot!

A video conference call with soon to be ex-colleagues and close team members. I never realized I touched their hearts that way. It's a mixed feeling to leave them.

A personal message from a team member with whom I worked for almost 5 years.

Coffee, Call and Mail

I had been waiting for over a month for a coffee delivery and I finally received it.

A video conference call with a few of colleagues. It was good to see their faces.

A kind mail from a work friend.
