Everybody needs time alone. When you have spent the whole day at work being harassed by others, and then return home to find your family won’t leave you in peace, you can easily become annoyed or angry. At such times, do not blame yourself for getting annoyed. Instead, take some time for yourself by stopping by your favorite bookstore, coffee shop, or a temple perhaps. Go for a quiet walk alone and listen to your favorite songs. Being alone makes the world pause for a moment and helps to restore harmony. So, I have been reading this book called “ Love for imperfect things: How to accept yourself in a world striving for perfection ” by Haemin Sunim , and this was one of the quotes I read in the novel. What do you think about this quote dear one? Do we really need some time alone or is it just a myth? Well, I think taking some time alone is a necessity. After having a tiring day at work when you are on your way home, your mind is full of chaos, stress, and worries of the whole...

Good Morning Sunshine, How are you doing today? I guess I'm doing good today, just not happy with this super-hot weather! A cold coffee would've worked better with this but your  girl is still drinking hot water. The father of the boy next door is doing all his household chores because his mother and wife are both covid positive. I told myself a hundred and a thousand times that I shouldn't be touching this topic, the world is already full of news and negativity about Covid, I wouldn't want to be one more person adding to the list of people. Honestly, I'm not here to talk about the symptoms, the negativity, the scams, etc. but I'm here to talk about how are people trying to deal with it. If there are thousands of people who are trying to corrupt the nation even in this pandemic then there are hundreds of people leaving their safe homes and are moving out to help strangers just because they have pure intentions and an even pure soul. If there are peop...

Good Morning Sunshine, It is indeed a very beautiful morning today, it is almost 7 in the morning, I have a hot cup of detox water in one hand, sipping through it feels good. I can taste the bittersweet flavors of lemon and honey. With the other hand, I am writing this letter to you and hoping that you’re doing the same i.e., trying to live in the moment and feeling grateful for everything around you. There is a book too underneath the diary, waiting to be opened, smelled and read. We’ll both do so in a while. There is no particular reason as to why we woke up early today but I am glad we did. Else, we’d have missed another beautiful morning and this gentle breeze slightly touching our face and seeing people here from the balcony. Sunshine, we are truly grateful for how beautiful this morning turned out to be, how we are able to wake up and just sit in the balcony full of plants and just be in the moment, what else could’ve made this morning better, my dearest? You must be wond...
