THE DIARY GAME : 10/08/2020 | 10th diary entry: No more Monday blues.

Hello Steemians!

Today is Monday, it was a cloudy morning. Earlier before COVID, Monday used to be very tough after two days of the weekend, and Monday blues were difficult to combat. But I think it's better now.

I woke up at my regular time, after doing all my morning activities I prepared Poha for breakfast. After having breakfast I was doing some preparations as tomorrow is Janmashtami, Lord krishnas's birthday.

I made Palak moong dal (Spinach lentil) with rice in lunch. Moong dal is one of the common pulses we make regularly at home and it is already a very nutrient-rich food and when mixed with palak it's nutrients multiplies.

I made a pattern for a blouse of my size on paper and then the same pattern I copied on the main fabric and lining. The cost of main fabric is INR 800(USD 10.8) / meter. I cut the fabric and lining. I attached lining to the main fabric by hand stitching. It was a time taking process as the main fabric is pure silk crepe and was very slippery. It was very tough to attach, but I somehow managed it.

In the evening, I had Tea with sweet bun with butter. I really like it more than bread and butter because the sweetness of the bun makes it very tasty. Then I was doing my favorite pilate workout as I missed it yesterday so I workout a little more today to cover up.

I switched on tv and was searching for some good movies to watch on Netflix or Amazon Prime. Then I decided to watch 'Shakuntla Devi' on Prime which is the latest release and Hindi language biographical drama movie.

It's a biopic on a lady who was best known as 'the human-computer' played by Vidya Balan a very great Indian actress. It's a very engaging and inspiring movie.
The director has shown all the shades of the character. Overall it was a great watch.

I then prepared dinner, watched some videos on youtube. I had my dinner while watching the news on the TV. After having dinner, I lit a scented candle as it calms the mind and continued reading my book.
