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 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN4F2inB12
fair share of twists, drama, and some quiet recoveries too.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIefM3KIiaW
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 😎18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nuv8jEKDu
His office gang threw him a surprise party — like a full-on pre-booked room with lights, balloons, and all that jazz. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysleG4EXSt
I had my own tiny plans for him, but his team literally hijacked him for the day. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUstR7LkQd
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, 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7kxnaTdQF
I’ve always tagged along with her and never shopped. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKagbG4z04
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.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN24nnTMpQ4

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.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94O7qx5PhP
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.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9fFNxTrSG
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.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76MCzytSZ8
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.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKeARQoySo

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 😎18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGznFRkTRC

Week 3 – Sweets, Shopping & Diwali Lights ✨
Now this week was Diwali week, so the entire vibe was chaos + happiness mixed together. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNQdzWa5DS
Me and my sister went full shopping mode — she went crazy with dresses, and I finally bought a new shirt after a year 😌18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6C2MyOFZB
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8hniT6VsB
It wasn’t too different from my usual ones, thing is 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoAaSwYHn6
I couldn’t buy new pants because my waistline keeps playing musical chairs 😅 so...ennala new design shirts um perusaa.. try panna mudilaa.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHQjsg7JGT
But still, that Diwali shirt hit just right. You saw the pictures, right?18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4kcglMuxW

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPXfueKKff
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 🍬 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwT79YVuUr
I think I had at least 800 grams of kaju katli alone. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKSln0d9XY
Not even kidding. But the best part? Most of it came free — which made it taste even better 😂18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnihPOqZLY8

Week 4 – Fitness, Fixes & Fever 😷 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquZzJRRjZ9
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg10f5qgCiW
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. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVNOlz0QCZ
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.”18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssVGCtEFsL
But still, she kept showing up, i just told her that itself was a win.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSbxXjzPuu
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIclYMnXSM
I'm actually taking care of all her diet plans..Prepping meals for her has actually been fun.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZN2c859Zl
Doing it for myself is torture, but for someone else? It’s oddly satisfying. And she’s already improving — small changes, but visible ones.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr9exLU7VY
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy56WZGzuyp
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, 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm169msLuGn
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 😌18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EP4qYfla1
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 JOB18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUe1ocDBRO

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 😭18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FZQWIjeSI
” She somehow managed to come back home early today. And me? I’m sneezing my way through this story right now 🤧💨18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4K32B8Jb4
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkTaqMJimC
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. 18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw59dRWKXUM
So here’s to closing October on a good note — and opening the next chapter with calm hearts and cleaner slates ☕💛
