The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

 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 💗  

 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. 

 Days have lately been slow and full of family time.  Stared this new week with simple Bengali food, a Telugu film Hit The Second Case and re-watching a Feluda show~ Sabash Feluda on Zee 5.  Need to pick up a new book, I am currently not reading anything. I also need to make my July TBR. 

  Life is hard. Coffee helps ☕️

 Today felt like a blur. A good blur.  Finished a good book. Had some coffee.  Cleaned up my space. And started a new book! 

 A Monday full of little comforts~  A big mug of coffee. A very good book. Cute corners of home.  Journal time. 

 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:
