I must have the world’s only golden retriever who is afraid of water. Like the dude legit thinks water is his enemy. WTF is wrong with him? He is *supposed* to love water!

One of the first things we need to get done in the house is a kitchen remodel. We knew going into this that the kitchen needed redoing and its fine. The weekend was spent in debating designs of the space! Any good recommendations on where else can we find inspirations?

My doggo is insanely scared of a plastic bag popping but will totally chill on the deck with roaring thunder all around him like it doesn’t matter. Boss kuch bhi kya?

I don’t want the monkey pic virus to mutate with covid and create a new covid pox virus that spreads as easily as covid. Please assure me this is impossible to happen.

A cursory glance on Reddit posts is indicating something that will keep becoming a larger trend as economy keeps tanking-basically folks banking their downpayment and housing loan on future stock growth of their options/ RSU. What a terrible strategy and this is surely backfiring

Of late I’ve really been thinking a lot about a couple of people in my life that were a critical part of my growing up years who when I look back now, feel like they are stuck in time. Those people live in the same flats they lived in 25+ years ago. The same neighbors, the same settings and the same life most of all, while I moved cities within India, came to a new country, moved states here, moved houses and had experiences galore – and yet, I feel the ache in my heart to back to those homes that I used to spend so much time at.

I often keep wondering about them – how does it feel to be at the same place, the same house for decades together? How does it feel to see someone who grew up in front of you and flew away, followed by their own kids who grew up and are now flying away too. Sometimes i feel like I abandoned them in my own pursuit of happiness. I wonder how would it be like if I too had settled down back in the same city, maybe had a house there and lived there for decades? I suppose i will never know, but I hope my kid aches to come back to my home.

Now’s a good time as any to say we ratified a contract on a house this monday. This week has been quite crazy running around signing documents and getting lenders ready for a mortgage application. I am fully expecting the housing market to crash & burn now that we’ve put a contract. Nonetheless, if everything closes successfully, we make a move late-sigh summer!

Panchayat season 2 picks up right from where they left at Season 1 and thats a great thing. Panchayat was easily one of the best Indian tv series to hit the webs few years ago, and looking at first 3 episodes, season 2 seems to be as good as season 1. To more like these please!
