My car failed the MOT and needs some repair work to pass it. I’m glad I have budgeted for this expense in my “Car Maintenance” sinking fund.
We finished watching The Handmaid’s Tale - Season 1.
What a grim series!
We may have lived a version of this kind of lives in the past. But, with the way things of going in this world, one just can’t help to imagine if this becomes a reality now.
I don’t know! I want to like Obsidian but there’s something pushing me away from it. I keep going back to Standard Notes. Maybe, Standard Notes is my note-taking & note-making app of choice.

I have taken a break from posting and microblogging for some time now. No reason! Just thought, I needed a break. I’m happy to be back online.

Day 3: Experimental Period Complete. It’s official. I ❤️ Standard Notes.
Day 2: Here’s a photo of a kid who turned out to be AWESOME! True Story!

Last days of Ramadan. May Allah SWT shower his blessings and mercy upon us all. May He give us the strength and courage to abstain from the bad and increase the love and the ease to implement the good. Ameen.
I’m having so much fun with Pop-It!
I’m planning to experiment with microcasts. Details are yet to figured out. This is so raw and it’s really bad. Haha!
I feel so overwhelmed. When I’m overwhelmed, I do a Mind Sweep. It always calms me down and restores some balance in my life.
I have been MIA but it’s good to be back.
En route to Madurai to drop off my sister’s family for Dubai.
