The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

 Hello Loves!  Happy Monday :) Here some cozy moments from my life recently.  Journal. Laptop. & Coffee.  Halloween in my planner.  Nightly reading.  My evening cup of coffee, a small cup of joy.  My little bunny love  :) I hope you have a lovely week ahead. 

  Subho Bijoya! May Maa bless you with joy, peace and kindness.  This year was a very different experience for me. Stayed home and say Maa on TV and going by when she arrived, so I had a dinky darshan.  I hope next year is better and I am slightly better.  Here is what Pujo looked like:  My Pujo read, I read half of this in April for Nobo Borsho and read the rest of it during Pujo.  Parar Pujo.  Baba clicked this picture.  My 2027 planner arrived.  A chunky cat came to visit.  Tried to find joy in little things.  Journaled about my Pujo.  A very Bengali bookmark.  I hope this festive season has been good for you and yours.  Dugga Dugga. 

 I've been away from home, Mumbai for over a year now. I came to my hometown in June 2025 when Maa passed away. Then in October I got my stroke and got paralyzed and any plans of going back home got indefinitely delayed. Now I don't even know when we'll go back. I miss home with a such severe longing..I miss my books, my stationery, my journals and my life.  I miss my books so much. I wish I could somehow I could teleport to Mumbai for an hour and grab some of my books to bring them with me.  I miss my bags. Not like I'm going anywhere but it would be nice to be with my bags.  And I miss little treats now and again. And I miss all to food from home.  I miss my quiet reading and journaling days.  And my miss coffeeshop reading 🎀 Hopefully I get better soon and go back to my ordinary and blissful life 💗  

 Hello Loves! I’ve taken an unplanned sabbatical over here. I guess the heat and summer time sadness is to blame for it.  Here’s what life has looked like in April~  My room flooded with light every evening.  Summer Sunsets. Summer Afternoons and Shadows.  My April stack of books.  Greenery outside my window.  April Journal. Quiet reading time!  Pomegranate Juice for the win!  Miffy being cute ☺️  My stack of journals bringing me so much peace. 

 March felt too long and yet managed to whizz by. I spent two weeks sick and miserable. Read very little. Ate some delicious food. Had bouts of anxiety. Watched some excellent films. Overall, March was a good month.  Here is what my month looked like: 

 February, you were so good! Thank you & more please 🙏🏼
