Hello everyone 🤠
How are you doing?
I hope you all are doing well💖
It's been a long time since I last wrote a blog. I think it's been too much time, and I miss writing and sharing my thoughts which I couldn't share with other people. I am not sure if it's writing or this platform, but when I am writing, I feel like I am fine and there is someone who is actually listening to me.
So, I started my post-graduation last year, and I have been quite busy since then. I have shifted to Palampur from my home town. The shift from tricity to a town was difficult. I wasn't aware of the transport problem here, so I faced quite a few challenges.
As this year is about to end, I don't know life is moving on very fast or it's just my mind, but it's going pretty fast. I have remembered the 2023 New year's at my Nani's ( my mother's mother) place.
So, my Nani's family lives in Kharar, Punjab, India. I was living with my friend and during Christmas holidays, I visited my Nani's home.
On the 29th night, I reached there. I had some exams left, and that's why I couldn't go home. I was very tired, but my cousin brother was thrilled after watching me. We played for 2 hours that night and I felt that after becoming an adult, how much I have stopped enjoying. I thought that night that I was living in work mode, and even, if I am resting that rest involve scrolling and binge-watching. This is me and my cousin brother together playing and enjoying our time together.
Then, he had shown me this authentic boat that mamu ( my mother's brother) had bought when they first came to Chandigarh.
I have also clicked the picture of this crystal that is in their living room. It was really calming to see this crystal.
Then, these baby monk statues were also in their living room and they can be seen in the majority of the Indian households. They depict different principles of mindfulness.
Don't look
Don't say
Don't think
Don't listen
Then, my cousin brother had shown me this talking Tom cat. It used to repeat whatever we say, but it is not working as he had spoiled it.
When we were about to sleep, my brother showed me his teddy bear, which is so huge, and its name was Fluffy.
On 30th December, My masi ( my mother's sister) and her family visited us. We were all very happy after meeting them.
I took a bath and as that day was very cold, i sipped my coffee in that winter sun. You can also see how beautiful the sunrays falling in mamu's living room.
Then, we all are thinking that what we should do today. And they had not seen the Chatbir Zoo and I was their guide for that day.
The Chatbir Zoo was one of the largest Zoos in Northern Punjab, India. It is located in Zirakpur, Near Chandigarh. The area covered around the Zoo is 82 to 84 hectares. There are different kinds of animals that can be found in this zoo.
This is the entry area of the zoo and the greenery around the zoo makes you forget all your life problems and brings a sense of relief in you.
I did not take many pictures that day as I was showing them the zoo. These snakes can be found in the snake area.
Then, the new addition to the zoo, is the dinosaur park. When I last visited the zoo, the dinosaur park was not there.
These are the pictures taken of the dinosaurs in the park. The dinosaur that they had replicated were much bigger than human size.
There were also these 2 eggs that had been created for photograph purposes in the park and I have clicked these pictures of my cousins there. Look, how cute they look here.
They have also forced me to click my picture there.
This is a paw of a dinosaur that has been found in the park.
Then we visited the bird area.
This net area has covered the roof so that birds don't fly away. With sunset in the background, these pictures look surreal.
My cousin sister and I have clicked a picture of us here together.
Then, we went back to mamu's place and they were preparing for the New year's party. I had helped them.
And then the guest arrived, and the New year's party had started. I had eaten momos and spring rolls.
Then, I had some fruits and noodles.
We all danced and had fun playing games such as tambola.
It was a fun day, and I hope you had fun too, reading my blog.
As this year is ending and there are very few days left, I hope and wish we all spend the remaining days laughing, feeling happy, and close to our loved ones.
Thank you so much for taking the time 🫂
See you soon in my next blog🫶🏻
