DAY 12–13
18–19 April 2026
Night
These two days felt… full in very different ways.
On one day, it was all about family.
Chinky Di’s birthday… celebrated in the hospital itself.
A different kind of celebration.
Not grand, not planned… but deeply meaningful.
Watching her… now a mother… holding her baby.
Something about that moment felt complete.
Life changing, quietly… right in front of my eyes.
There was so much emotion in the room.
Happiness… relief… a sense of something new beginning.
I also noticed Maa and Papa.
The way they looked at her…
the way they smiled while the cake was being cut.
Those small expressions… they stay.
Later, Papa had to leave.
We went to drop him… figuring out the pickup point, a little confusion, a little rush.
But eventually, it all settled.
A day that felt both full… and slightly scattered.
And then came the next day.
Lighter.
I stepped out to meet an old friend.
We went to Artisan Café.
Spent time painting… for the baby.
After a long time, I sat with colors again.
It felt different.
Calm. Focused. Almost meditative.
Sometimes, creating something with your hands…
brings you back to yourself.
The day felt easy.
Uncomplicated.
Two days.
One filled with emotion and transitions.
One filled with stillness and creation.
And somewhere between both…
life continues to unfold.
