The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

  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 🪴

 July begins quietly, full of humidity and sweet mangoes. New plushie friends and hoping for rain! 

 June Begins….quietly and kindly. Books. Bookmarks. Totes. And delicious Banana Bread. 

 What today looked like:  5.5.25  Monday  Good Books.  Good Coffee.  A spot of journaling. 

 Hello May! May you bring Flowers and Mangoes and Good Books. May you bring Peace and Calm.  Here’s how I began this Month:  Started two incredible books. Heart Lamp is excellent and I am only three stories in!  Manohar Malgonkar’s historical books are an favourite of mine and this is the third book of his I’m picking up, so my hopes are high.  Hoping the rest of May is just  as stellar. 💛

 Subho Nobo Borsho my Loves! I send you loads of Priti and Subhecha and Bhalobasha. May this year bring you allllll sorts of goodness.  Here’s what the first day of 1432 looked like: Some reading, refreshing my home for the New Year and eating some good food. 

 I love Thursdays. I just do.  Here’s what this Thursday looked like:  A little reading. Snacks.  Coffee. Dusting, Mumbai is soooo dusty and my books and things are coated in this fine layer of dust every morning.  Cute bookmark and pencil. New (from my stash) journal.
