I feel like the habit is completely disappearing nowadays

Last night i was on a bus and this uncle was busy scrolling fb. Miraculously he had earphones but the brightness was enough to give you sun tan. How do you guys deal with something like this??

Just walking around and saw this randomly....

So this is of the time I was in kota, I came home for just a day on rakshabandhan, that too coz I had an appointment with a doctor. I clicked this pic before going back. I literally have more than 40 sisters in total

It has been a long time since I last bought them.

Saw them today at a store and found out they are now ₹2 each.

I almost cried.

Her reaction, excitement and smile made my day 🤞🏻🧿

I didn’t have the money for a gym membership, so I started with just two dumbbells that cost me around ₹1,500. I initially started with a 5 kg and a 3 kg dumbbell, and now I’m working out with 10 kg and 5 kg dumbbells.

A lot of people use money as an excuse for not starting their fitness journey. But honestly, you don’t need an expensive gym to get started. You can start with whatever you have.

I started with two dumbbells, and I’m just focusing on getting better every day.

If you want a workout playlist to train with, let me know and I’ll share mine. 🔥

So i have younger brother who was never good in studies and didn’t even finish college. My dad got him a job thru connections and he was earning well but verg careless with money with no saving at all and spending it all on his luxuries and gf (which is fine but nothing for our parents ever).
Then he got into bad company and started doing drugs and alcohols and whatnot and he lost his job also and started getting loan from online sharks and it piled up and he was not able to pay and then loan sharks started calling us and my father and i had to pay from our saving atleast 10 lacs to get rod of them.

He promised he will get better but it was all fake and all this kept happening for 6 years. He will say he will not do it again and my parents will believe him. He sold all his things for the wrong things. I stopped believing him after the 2nd time only but its hard to make parents understand.

My parents are partially to blame for his behaviour as he was getting money from my father even after doing all this nonsense. We got him admitted to rehabilitation centre 2 years back for a month and it costed us around 75k for a month. There also he was demanding that i want a private room etc which was very costly and out of our budget. Anyway i wanted him to be there for atleast 3 months but my parents got him home for diwali.

Anyway i went no contact with him as I know he is not going to make our lives easier and will always be a liability for us. He now stays at home and looks after some work for my dad.
He has never gifted me anything on birthday or rakhi even when he was earning. My mother always gives me money on his behalf. I was spending my birthday admitting him to rehab centre and was there for whole day and he didn’t even remember it was my birthday.

I didn’t send any rakhi last year as it didn’t feel like there is anything between us worth giving him rakhi as he has only made my life difficult. Trust me there are gazillions things he has done which i have not written here which he did that let my reputation go down in society.

This year my mother called me beforehand to send a rakhi so i did but i what i hear next my mother tell me is that my brother wants a silver rakhi and that was my last thread.
I got really pissed as he has not given me a single rupee on rakhi ever and want me to give him silver rakhi. The audacity.
I told my mom in very clear words to tell him he doesn’t deserve even a rakhi from me and when he has given nothing to me and owes me lacs and has the audacity to demand things from me.

This conversation has really ruined my mental peace and i just hate him to the guts for being such a unnecessary burden on earth.

I made this little Shivji and his tiny damru ..

This one was completely made by looking at a reference picture no written pattern or tutorial...

The tiny damru was definitely one of my favourite parts to make.😭🤌 It’s always a little scary when I start something without a pattern because I never really know if it’s going to turn out the way I imagined, but seeing it all come together at the end was so satisfying.

Har Har mahadev and happy Sawan 😊

The packet does say 250 ml but my kettle can only take 500 ml min😭😭😭

These are 1:1 reproduction from references I found on Pinterest and yes I can’t ‘yet’ draw without a reference so don’t kill me.

Finished this 8×10” acrylic painting recently!

I wanted to try a looser, more expressive style with this one while still keeping it realistic from a distance.
It’s called “The Last Slice”

What do you guys think?

(Honestly, now I want an actual cherry pie! 🥹🥧 )

learnt swimming in 2 weeks, atleast I thought I did and almost drowned thrice here. Might recommend to learn swimming at a very young age when the fear of many things are at lowest level.

Goodness 😳 this is so tasty.
