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 212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyruJ6NmQ3C
fair share of twists, drama, and some quiet recoveries too.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WERNlcpOt
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 😎212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGEfH2EFEb
His office gang threw him a surprise party — like a full-on pre-booked room with lights, balloons, and all that jazz. 212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J7TMCToNR
I had my own tiny plans for him, but his team literally hijacked him for the day. 212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8tHsQ5jsv
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, 212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CmRn1pcmf
I’ve always tagged along with her and never shopped. 212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleU7VZSft0
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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumUO5e32IW

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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4YErlF4mp
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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZPvedEsyp
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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt58BC6vJ3
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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvacud7GQy
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mpfSg9mjG
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 😎212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTftKBFVyjF

Week 3 – Sweets, Shopping & Diwali Lights ✨
Now this week was Diwali week, so the entire vibe was chaos + happiness mixed together. 212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGfzTUi8fe
Me and my sister went full shopping mode — she went crazy with dresses, and I finally bought a new shirt after a year 😌212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tfl3po35Y
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLGHBeRUGo
It wasn’t too different from my usual ones, thing is 212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMuc5vBVIC
I couldn’t buy new pants because my waistline keeps playing musical chairs 😅 so...ennala new design shirts um perusaa.. try panna mudilaa.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW78v0bre02
But still, that Diwali shirt hit just right. You saw the pictures, right?212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNw5NkvkzZ
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwseo9FGDO3
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT9DenXh5Q
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 🍬 212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7okNnjQ9lQ
I think I had at least 800 grams of kaju katli alone. 212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YDaaSCPHZ
Not even kidding. But the best part? Most of it came free — which made it taste even better 😂212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAug4UqvRWN

Week 4 – Fitness, Fixes & Fever 😷 212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsWwNvvsoM
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n53ss5Wmp
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. 212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWkokNlVXB
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.”212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGlukatyzM
But still, she kept showing up, i just told her that itself was a win.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZrkwWGx7R
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOyE0Lrt65
I'm actually taking care of all her diet plans..Prepping meals for her has actually been fun.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8VutgO3O8
Doing it for myself is torture, but for someone else? It’s oddly satisfying. And she’s already improving — small changes, but visible ones.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMoDaoYJmh
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S9bByJQV6
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, 212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhUJha4SNK
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 😌212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3hW7AidxS
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 JOB212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxScDrUDvI

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 😭212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ilgXAnJUG
” She somehow managed to come back home early today. And me? I’m sneezing my way through this story right now 🤧💨212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrTKp51MXi
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LbipC4ELq
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. 212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MzKfInS16
So here’s to closing October on a good note — and opening the next chapter with calm hearts and cleaner slates ☕💛
