The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

  Hello 2026! Hoping this year is kind and gentle and good for us all. Started my year quietly with my planner and a book after three months, basically after my stroke. Felt good to come back a a small version of my normal 🙏🏼 I am hoping to read books, write and wreck havoc in 2026 ✨

 I don’t even know when was the last time I posted on. here, maybe back in October!!! On October 6th late at night I suffered a damn Brain Stroke out of seemingly nowhere! I spent the evening cooking, watching TV and reading and then BAM I had a damn stroke.  I was in hospital for nearly a month and it was a lot!!!  I am back home now and slowly recovering ❤️‍🩹  I am also doing a lot of physiotherapy, which is quite hellish and tiring.  I’ll be back on the blog when I am better! 

  Dugga Dugga  Subho Bijoya my loves.  May Maa bless us all with goodness and love and light.  Abar esho Maa ✨🤍🙏🏼🤍✨

 Hello October 🌾🍁🪷🍁🌾 Dugga Dugga ❤️ Started my month with some pandal hopping and praying to Maa Durga for better days and joy and hope.  Here is what today looked like: many pretty protimas and pandals. Feeling a little festive.  Pujo has been a little quiet this year because it’s hard to imagine Pujo without Maa. We’ve stayed home all these days and only ventured out today.  Felt good to be out and about in the world and go see Maa Durga and her kids.  Hoping and praying that the rest of the month is just as nice. 

 Hey there! It’s been a while. I took a month off from blogging. Honestly, last month wasn’t the best for me. I didn’t feel like myself and found myself feeling lost and in a limbo. I read only 3 books and didn’t even touch my planner. I am hoping September is kinder and gentler and I can find my way back  I hope to read more. Blog more often. Journal. And be more present in my life.  Be Good September 🪴

  The days have been slow and blurring altogether.  And it’s been so hot and humid and muggy. It seems to be raining everywhere in India but where I am at..and I am not doing well with this heat. As always my books and coffee and films have helped. Can’t believe July is almost over. I’ve been reading mostly graphic novels and watching films with Baba.  I am excited for August to arrive and commence my annual Indian Books in August.
