Gotta give it to Aussie spirit and Pat Cummins on declaring and making a match out of it. Whether they lose or win or draw, Australia bloody hell made this march interesting on 5th day.
India-Australia IS THE cricketing matchup in the world isn’t it? I sincerely hope Australia and New Zealand never stop playing cricket!
4 days into it and I am sick of these ready made meal service. Not that I do not like the taste or quality, but my Indian heart wants home-made Indian food. So yeah, time to bring out the chops. For tonight I made Alu-Gobhi, Dal Fry and Jeera Rice. Made enough to last me at least another couple of meals. After that I can think of a western prepped meal again. This Indian heart hearts Indian food.
What is the most socially acceptable response to somebody on street who says “Oh such a cute dog!” and I look at their dog and don’t feel the same in return? I struggled with this a decade back as well when someone on street would say “Awww such a cute baby!" and I would look at theirs and be like “Well yours isnt!" (in my mind of course!)
This whole Gabba test has been such a downer. Like no one’s heart’s in it anymore. Somehow India managed to avoid a follow on. The australian bowling that was searing first two days suddenly went off key with Hazelwood off. The weather has been a wretched disrupter all through. One more day left with more rain on way - this is one of those tests where the captains should just shake hands and call it a draw and give everyone a rest.
One of those days where doggo simply wants to chill on the deck and not play fetch. I get it. Its a nice 60 degree sunny weather outside. I’d be chilling in the sun too if I were him. Too bad it takes 75 degree weather for me to chill on the deck like he is currently.
While wife and kid are enjoying my father-in-law’s insanely gorgeous backyard, I am left here watching the pics! I absolutely adore their village and the peace & quiet of her house.
Makes full sense to me. Apple Intelligence has been a dud for me; the only thing I’ve been using fairly constantly is the imagine clean up tool and thats about it. Everything else, I have touched once or twice and then forgotten about it. Even Apple Playgrounds - played it with once, laughed a bit and now its another useless app on phone. As much as media and tech wants us to believe, AI is not mainstream yet. It may get there in next couple of years.
A super productive day today! Got done with a few work things for tomorrow, vacuumed, laundried, cooked and cleaned/rearranged our upper floors. No wonder A is always like why don’t you do anything and I am always like no you just haven’t seen my potential. Now my response is going to be well you are in the house and I can’t work with people around, so its not a wonder you don’t see my capabilities!
Struggling with a difficult decision - should I make a Pav Bhaji for lunch or dinner? Lunch adv - I can eat it again for dinner. Dinner adv - feels like pav bhaji was always meant to be eaten at evening not lunch so vibes don’t match for lunch. Plus I can do left overs for tomorrow? Or fuck it all and open a ready made meal and be done with it!
A good morning spent cleaning and re arranging the furniture on upper floors. A will not be happy with a few changes but it will be too late by she comes back and then I will be like oh no such busy lives can’t do it this month and we will then live with it forever. That’s how I intend it to play out.
Wife is not at home so I cleaned the fridge this morning and threw out all the vegetables that I absolutely hate but wife kept insisting I eat them because they are “good for my health”. She will never know 😈.
📺 The Day of the Jackal (2024) - ★★★★☆
Another series that ideally should have ended in 8 episodes or less but is stretched to 10. Nonetheless excellent acting and some of the set pieces are just fun. The last 15 mins of 9th episode was just nail biting. Looking forward to season 2.
This year was worse than last year in sense that I went to gym only 48 times, however I also went on a walk (thanks doggo!) 115 times for a total of 163 days of some activity. I am definitely undercounting my walks coz I don’t remember to turn on the fitness app for walk every time. Gotta turn up that gym number but a good chunk of it can be attributed to the back injury I had early on year at gym followed by continuing trigger finger woes.
I share this every year. And no one should be surprised we have Trump today because America, truly does not care.
