Anu Darling Good Evening
Hope you’re doing good and having a great time there! So here we are — the final hours of October, and honestly this month has its own 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LFx3Gc9sp
fair share of twists, drama, and some quiet recoveries too.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtk1qLpBhn
Let me start describing mine shortly to you 😅🍁
Week 1 – Birthday Bells & Westside Tales 🎈 The month kicked off with a bang — it was Pragadish’s birthday on 4th(first sunday of this month) .You know him, right? My boy Peggy 😎246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkMF2uZPYt
His office gang threw him a surprise party — like a full-on pre-booked room with lights, balloons, and all that jazz. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o4A8GC2Yr
I had my own tiny plans for him, but his team literally hijacked him for the day. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk8x2UH667
Anyway, I still managed to gift him something — a shirt from Westside! Now here’s the shocker — I’ve never actually bought anything from Westside before. My sister’s a regular there, 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOFZTew1VK
I’ve always tagged along with her and never shopped. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk71fcu8Fu
This time, I was totally impressed — their men’s collection was fire 🔥 I even decided that when I start going back to office, I’m going full Westside mode — making H&M guys putting on the bench.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIetJsT5KeY

Week 2 – Chaos & Calm 🌀 Week 2 started with a bit of a dry spell. Family issues, small tensions — the usual. I was honestly wondering how I’d survive that phase.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxgmiz8PSm
But like every storm, this too passed. And then came one of the nicest surprises of the month — my sister started working from home! 🎉 Her previous Singapore project had her going to office six days a week — absolute madness.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YikZoA7JG
But now she’s on this new project (funny enough, it’s a cigar company 😂), and she’s actually enjoying it. She’s comfortable, the team’s great, and she’s finally at home more often.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol7grSpK1t
And I’m not gonna lie — having her around changed the whole house vibe 😌 One more person in the mix, more noise, more laughter. Easily one of the best things about this month.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBmci5WZW7
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f46nDcwl5
Oh, and speaking of good things — I finally started wearing my new round specs 🕶️ You probably saw them on my story. I didn’t expect to love them this much, but I do. Instant confidence booster 😎246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yT4lYMs5V

Week 3 – Sweets, Shopping & Diwali Lights ✨
Now this week was Diwali week, so the entire vibe was chaos + happiness mixed together. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSevfp9vXR
Me and my sister went full shopping mode — she went crazy with dresses, and I finally bought a new shirt after a year 😌246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLgRAq2Rkq
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHngu9t5ZXl
It wasn’t too different from my usual ones, thing is 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vonc52KN6
I couldn’t buy new pants because my waistline keeps playing musical chairs 😅 so...ennala new design shirts um perusaa.. try panna mudilaa.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCyTJaDdKs
But still, that Diwali shirt hit just right. You saw the pictures, right?246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tG62y7mE6
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD7DlRo5zL
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEvdjgHIWO
And oh my god — the sweets. Pattu, I legit ate way too much. My dad’s office sent boxes, my sister’s office sent boxes, neighbors sent boxes — sweets were just raining from every direction 🍬 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EuMVza5yr
I think I had at least 800 grams of kaju katli alone. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj942AnhFI0
Not even kidding. But the best part? Most of it came free — which made it taste even better 😂246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqRtTg6APs
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTW5aJYYc3
Week 4 – Fitness, Fixes & Fever 😷 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3mpVFeiPG
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMNF0BshGC
So around this time, i somehow convinced and made my sister joining a GYM, KG Fitness Studio. Initially, I wasn’t sure if she’d stick to it, but she surprised me. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV6u3O6pLA
She started loving it — the routine, the place, everything. Only issue, she couldn’t lift even 5 kg at first 😅 She even cried once, saying, “I can’t even lift this much.”246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vMTXe3b7e
But still, she kept showing up, i just told her that itself was a win.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY7HxgEjS0
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMPc3l42XB
I'm actually taking care of all her diet plans..Prepping meals for her has actually been fun.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpacsAcYIk
Doing it for myself is torture, but for someone else? It’s oddly satisfying. And she’s already improving — small changes, but visible ones.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNGDfcHbiZ
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlptlsQ3I7
Then came the Diwali aftermath. I visited two of my friends — Deepak and Pragadish — to hand over sweets and gifts. But I couldn’t meet Cyrus this time. His house was packed — Sheryl’s sister and family had come down from Canada with their kids, 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq0DZ5EzL3
so he was completely tied up. We spoke though, and this week he called me over for a small favor. Poor guy had a knee band on his right leg 😅 Spent some time with him, Sheryl, and Amara — it was short, but good. Felt nice to just sit and talk again.
And yes… the job struggle saga continues 🧠 I attended 3–4 interviews, but things weren’t clicking. The market’s weird, and the tech I picked up didn’t land me the right roles. Financially too, the month was a bit heavy — vehicle issues, small expenses piling up. But, somehow managed to stay afloat 😌246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl6Tyfkxsw
Now from November, I’m starting a new automation course — one that’s actually hot in the market. I’ve got 1.5 months to finish it and get interview-ready again. This time, I’m sure I’ll land something good....And this is my last shot!!😷 on getting a JOB246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYTD1hXCpR

Final Week – Sick Leaves & Soft Recoveries 🤧 And just when I thought the month was ending peacefully… boom — the entire family fell sick. Cold, fever, vomiting — name it, we had it 🤒 My dad was down for two days, mom wasn’t feeling great either, and my sister literally called from her office saying, “I’m in the wellness room, been sleeping here for three hours 😭246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk90gkEl3C
” She somehow managed to come back home early today. And me? I’m sneezing my way through this story right now 🤧💨246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4Psqg5qGa
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIsEqQMkc9
And that’s a wrap on October, darling 🌙 Ten months into 2025, and I’d say this one was the month of clarity and quiet recovery. It wasn’t dramatic, but it was real — full of small fixes, silent joys, and a little peace that finally made sense. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNZTaDsS9r
So here’s to closing October on a good note — and opening the next chapter with calm hearts and cleaner slates ☕💛
