The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

 Hello, its me, your resident bookworm. I am still here, still around. Still healing. Still recovering from my brain stroke. It's nearly been a year, I'm slowly getting back to normal.  Life has been going on, I've been reading, journaling, moving my out of wack body and trying to manifest a future where I am somewhat normal again. My old life seems so far away sometimes. The life in Mumbai somedays feels like a dream, a fever dream. Hopefully I can find myself back to that old version of myself.  Here is journal eco-system for 2026.  My planner, my journal and my reading journal. I will do a detailed post on my very minimal system soon. I have really simplified my planner stack this year, mostly out go necessity. But I am quite pleased with how things turned out.  A stack of my beloved books. A TBR pile I made for August.  I haven't blogged since June! I meant to but most days I get tired by evening and just want to read and hangout with my Baba and sister...

  Hello! Moved into a new, very roomy pencil bag tonight 😊 While writing is still a bit of a struggle since my stroke, I’ve started writing a little everyday and I’m hoping my hand gets better soon and I can finally get back to writing, journaling and annotating my books. Here’s a look my precious pens 🥰 The tiny pouches are from Choti Si Asha The new one is from an IG store called Veora. It was kindly sent as a freebie by the seller with some booksleeves I ordered (will share those soon). 

 Long time no see! I’ve been busy healing and recuperating after my brain stroke. It’s slow, but by the grace of God steady! Blogging just slipped off the radar and since it’s June and my Blog’s Birthday I thought I’d drop by and say Hi!  I am out of bed and slowly walking around. My motor functions are getting better. I am reading again 🧿 Life is different but I am grateful to still be here! And o miss this corner of the Internet soooo much. So I’m hoping to slowly find my way back to life and my blog.  Hope you are still around and join me on my bookish adventures ✨🩵💌📚📖🔖🩵✨

 January has begun cold and quiet and bookish-my. Spending my days under my quilt and reading my books and life feels pretty good. 

  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!
