Morning Brain dump.

 Happy festival season.

The rains are back, the new plants are showing off, and my little kitchen garden looks like it’s on a wellness retreat. As I was strolling this morning, i was wondering what profound thing to say to the universe...thank you for the online dress expected to reach today.After all it is the festival season.....and this is just the beginning of shopping.

Now..my black coffee and what a high that was!

My yoga teacher, between her downward dogs and inner peace, dropped a bombshell She’s left her regular job to give more time to herself and moved to the hills. A huge step indeed! I thought, wow .... that’s what choosing growth over stability looks like. Meanwhile, I’m still choosing between my next shot of coffee...15 ml.or 30.ml.

Later, while admiring some fresh leaves in my garden my phone beeped. A journalist friend messaged:

“Madam, your blogs are missing.”

“Yes,” I sighed, “I know they are. They are on an extended creative vacation Sundeep somewhere between writer’s block and mild laziness.”

Only mild.

Madam you are missing... I would love to hear this .. depending on who's saying it.

He sent a smiley. Then said, “Gargi, get up right now and just write.”

Ah, that’s what good friends do. They don’t judge, they don’t advise.they just set your brain on fire and then walk away with a smiley emoji.😄.

He called later, sharing how he too got stuck while finishing his latest book, and how he had to push through the brain fog.

Yes Brain Fog only if you have brains..That’s life, isn’t it? Sometimes you just don’t know what to write, what to say, or even what to cook.

So I picked up three blank pages ...my personal therapy session and just wrote. Anything, everything. The joys, the little highs, the tiny lows, the frustrations, the new sprouts ...both in the garden and in me.Brain dump.

By the end, the pages were full and so was my heart.

Yes, it’s time to take that little step again. Maybe a baby step. But as every wise yoga teacher, journalist, and coffee mug reminds us: all it really needs… is you.
