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 247Please respect copyright.PENANAVnvBCuwqYn
fair share of twists, drama, and some quiet recoveries too.247Please respect copyright.PENANACQ56fI7BG6
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 😎247Please respect copyright.PENANASIriUCN8cx
His office gang threw him a surprise party — like a full-on pre-booked room with lights, balloons, and all that jazz. 247Please respect copyright.PENANA8zGc0meTbz
I had my own tiny plans for him, but his team literally hijacked him for the day. 247Please respect copyright.PENANAROYtOVBU56
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, 247Please respect copyright.PENANAO6NjAQXbFJ
I’ve always tagged along with her and never shopped. 247Please respect copyright.PENANAXw2NFUz39p
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.247Please respect copyright.PENANAsduNOYdEtx

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.247Please respect copyright.PENANAd0B3VGsuYU
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.247Please respect copyright.PENANAOboQ4bubx1
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.247Please respect copyright.PENANANyE5FwvT7O
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.247Please respect copyright.PENANAn9gNscJbUE
247Please respect copyright.PENANA4fs62rXmQW
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 😎247Please respect copyright.PENANA39R6gmxgCY

Week 3 – Sweets, Shopping & Diwali Lights ✨
Now this week was Diwali week, so the entire vibe was chaos + happiness mixed together. 247Please respect copyright.PENANA99GQkdpLQ0
Me and my sister went full shopping mode — she went crazy with dresses, and I finally bought a new shirt after a year 😌247Please respect copyright.PENANA4KQht2H5Om
247Please respect copyright.PENANAuRTdarLMQj
It wasn’t too different from my usual ones, thing is 247Please respect copyright.PENANAf0wPwdfE79
I couldn’t buy new pants because my waistline keeps playing musical chairs 😅 so...ennala new design shirts um perusaa.. try panna mudilaa.247Please respect copyright.PENANAsaTG7OW07n
But still, that Diwali shirt hit just right. You saw the pictures, right?247Please respect copyright.PENANAa7OFEZgsiM
247Please respect copyright.PENANAuU2LuWcTGu
247Please respect copyright.PENANAn3yEghTLTC
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 🍬 247Please respect copyright.PENANA783shQeDCx
I think I had at least 800 grams of kaju katli alone. 247Please respect copyright.PENANA0cKv0i8HvV
Not even kidding. But the best part? Most of it came free — which made it taste even better 😂247Please respect copyright.PENANAFoLmz6lvoM
247Please respect copyright.PENANAd2zzVhfdpF
Week 4 – Fitness, Fixes & Fever 😷 247Please respect copyright.PENANAWwTWHcR68W
247Please respect copyright.PENANAzKPeChdlpD
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. 247Please respect copyright.PENANAdOFXUH7ICe
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.”247Please respect copyright.PENANAiuJupHZAtH
But still, she kept showing up, i just told her that itself was a win.247Please respect copyright.PENANATZJAOGvTk7
247Please respect copyright.PENANAAOhxteNTqX
I'm actually taking care of all her diet plans..Prepping meals for her has actually been fun.247Please respect copyright.PENANAcEgeaTa3D2
Doing it for myself is torture, but for someone else? It’s oddly satisfying. And she’s already improving — small changes, but visible ones.247Please respect copyright.PENANAQRgWtZ1lfs
247Please respect copyright.PENANAxChXG0oxDp
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, 247Please respect copyright.PENANAEgVlv2hmwz
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 😌247Please respect copyright.PENANArOge4GxoZl
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 JOB247Please respect copyright.PENANA0CLHo3mRtP

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 😭247Please respect copyright.PENANAjONXh0Mwvi
” She somehow managed to come back home early today. And me? I’m sneezing my way through this story right now 🤧💨247Please respect copyright.PENANAemr6UvtLhz
247Please respect copyright.PENANABOhmV86g0K
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. 247Please respect copyright.PENANA407T52rjYt
So here’s to closing October on a good note — and opening the next chapter with calm hearts and cleaner slates ☕💛
