So much happening around the world that is upsetting, whether it is COVID, floods or explosion in Lebanon, and many other things. My heart goes out to the people who are affected. I want to start my diary post with prayers for all.
Today, I woke up at 8.30 am as usual. I had some almond and walnut, which I soaked overnight. Soaked almonds have incredible health benefits and can do wonders for our health if consumed empty stomach as first thing in the morning. it helps in improving blood sugar, boosts digestion, and many other health benefits.

Then I started with my other morning rituals. I took a shower, prepared breakfast. I prepared Poha in breakfast, Poha is a popular breakfast and commonly available in every part of India. It is flattened rice and it is very easy to make and requires very little cooking.
After that I did laundry, I was working on my fashion designing work, I tried to recall my embroidery stitches which I learned during my fashion designing because embroidery is something which I don't regularly do. I was just practicing so I don't lose my hold on embroidery.

I was having craving for green tea, so I prepared one but I mixed licorice root extract in it. It is one another very healthy herb with various benefits. I continued my work while having tea.

It was time for lunch, I prepared my regular Indian meal that chapati and curry. I called my sister, we spoke over the phone. After having lunch, I baked eggless vanilla cake, there was no such occasion. Just wanted to eat one. But while checking if it cooked or not I accidentally made some cracks in it :P.

Then I was again working on Adobe illustrator and other related work. It was a 5'o clock and I went down for a walk, the weather was very pleasant. I came back and had evening tea with some snacks. I did my regular Pilate workout. I binge-watched a new Indian show on Amazon prime, there were 10 episodes. Meanwhile, I prepared dinner. I was watching tv till 2 am. :)
Then I went to sleep and the day passed just like that.
