What a descriptive beautiful piece! Absolutely love the laal mirch picture reminds me of my childhood days when I used to visit my grandfather and whenever a patch of dried laal mirch used to come spread across acres of land I knew that I have reached the station.

thanks Mohika for recommending this to me. :)

You’ve crafted this piece so beautifully, Mo🌻. Such a meditative read, it feels like a tiny part of me just got healed. Also, much love to Dadi, seems like she and I both love talking to Baba Hanuman. Here is one of favourite chants of Hanuman Baba for Dadi - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A45VErCakxo , lots of love ❤️

I’m still figuring out what a fulfilling life looks like for me but I’m sure it involves a cup of freshly brewed coffee in the morning. Therefore, that is the only part of my day that I commit to unfailingly, the rest I’ll figure out in due time.

Beautiful piece, Mohika. I loved the vivid imagery you painted your words. It felt like I was in your house, in your grandma’s presence at some point.

Hello Harun, I welcome you to my home any day for a fresh cup of coffee and some chats with my old lady. Thank you for making time to write this comment 😁 I think ... What your first cup of coffee in the morning means to you, movement on the mat means to me. I could forget to brush my teeth (I don't, but you get it), but I move my body unfailingly every day. Beyond that not much is in our control. Hmm interesting, thank you for sparking that thought. Hope you have a great day ahead! 💗

As your dadi says… and I will say it from the line from the coke studio song..”Jo hai Tera labh jayega karke koi bahana, tere bas Mein kuch bhi nai hai dil nu ae samjhana… tu jhoom jhoom jhoom jhoom” and yet again my doll, my mo.. u teach us - tu jhoom jhoom jhoom jhoom

Loads of love and a big hug betu

Ur maasi ❤️

Thank you Mohika, for your beautiful note beaming with hope. I really needed this. Right now. I am at the last leg of my Ph.D. , and I woke up feeling anxious about the looming deadlines. Your words felt like an assurance from the Universe that it's gonna be alright. So, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sending you lots of love.

Hello Sonali 💞 Ph.D is a huge new chapter isn't it? Congratulations on getting this far ahead! Although sometimes it may not look like that. I'm so grateful you read today's essay, and it gave you hope and assurance 🧡🌟 I'm even more grateful that you made time to leave me a comment first thing in the morning. In a way, you gave me an assurance that my words matters and if I share them with people, we will uplift each other. Feel less alone. So thank you too 💝 I hope you have a brilliant day ahead 💖
