Hello wonderful people,

I hope you're all doing well, flourishing, healing, and marching on in this journey of life. It's been so long since I visited this space. I've missed it, and I often thought I should just write five lines, but time kept beating me and the days kept running away.

The truth is, I haven't stopped writing. I've been writing here and there, in notes, in drafts, in bits and pieces that never made it to this page. But I want to come back to this space, and this time in a way that's actually doable for me.

Since I don't have the time for video blogs, I'm going to share small snippets from my daily life instead: a thought, a moment, a photo, a few lines. Nothing polished or perfect, just real and regular.

And what better time to return than now? Bengali Durga Pujo is almost here. The air has already started to change. There's that gold in the afternoon light, the shiuli on the ground, and a feeling in the chest that I can never fully explain but every Bengali knows. The dhaak is somewhere in the distance, getting closer.

So if you'd like to walk through these days with me, the pandal moments, the food, the memories, and all the small things in between, stay close. I'm happy to be back.

'Maa aschchen' 🌺

With love,
Tanushree
