THESE FLEETING DAYS

Hello everybody! Sorry, we haven’t posted anything in a long time. Manasa and I have been procrastinating. I was busy carrying a baby and giving birth to him. And my sister was busy with her kids’ school, tests and travels. We are slowly getting back though…

It’s a new year and a new beginning. As I’m going to turn 30 this year, instead of moping about getting old, I decided to embrace it and make it a fun year, just like my sister did, a while ago.

So these are my new year/ 30^th year resolutions.

1. Go on a trip to one of my favorite destinations. (location will be updated once we plan)
