Yesterday in my country, there was the occasion of Ram Navami. I called my special educator Mahua Paul ma'am on the phone and she told me that I would be singing the song in the evening. I am absolutely anticipated and excited about that one. So in the evening at 7:30 pm I have chosen the song Take Me Home, Country Roads by the legendary late John Denver and I have started listening to the whole song. Once I have completed listening, I brought my notebook and pen. As a proud and humble student, left handed, family girl, singer and a music lover who is also a low pitched Contralto voice type kind of a person, it is absolutely easy for me to be legible in my own handwriting and find my own vocal range. I have started writing the lyrics of the song, then I have listened to the song in a very slow speed so many times for the notes, then I have started writing the notes and octave numbers which fit my own vocal range. I have chosen the scale of C Major Scale for my rendition whereas the original version of the song is A Major Scale. After remembering the lyrics and the notes so many times I called her on the phone at 9:18 pm and told her that I would be singing the song Take Me Home, Country Roads as the late John Denver is her and her husband Vikramaditya sir's favourite singer. She called her daughter Casuarina and Vikramaditya sir has also came to listen to my rendition together. After checking the connection she called me again as I have worn the airpods so that my voice would be audible. I asked her whether I should start and she immediately said, “Yes!" I have poured my own heart out and completed the whole song and after completing that the three of them have clapped and gave me the compliments. He told me that my voice is suitable for the fast paced type of songs like this. I am absolutely honoured and grateful that the moment never fails to make me smile and I can say that I have been her student and her best friend who always trusts and supports me a lot for more than fourteen years since 2011.

He was wearing a sonic onesie and he was staying up WAY past his bedtime to see the movie!!!

Highly recommended by the way! Leave your adult by the door and go in with your inner child only…

Hopefully the metaphor I snuck in here will evolve with the child as he grows older, and maybe one day— maybe when he’s about to head to college, or about to start a family— and he’s going through his stuff, he’ll see Pigliacci, and the metaphor will finally land for him like a meteorite, and he will realize it wasn’t just a silly little drawing that one day in 2025…

I told the child “remember: there are times to be silly, and there are times to be serious… Tonight was a time to be silly“ and I stick by that philosophy.

Had some auto problems yesterday where my vehicle would not start. Popped the hood and found massive corrosion on the negative terminal of my battery and had to call the wife to get our kid from daycare.

After I fed the family, went to an auto parts store and tested my battery and found it was good, I made a crazy decision and decided to get some tools and replace the battery terminal myself so I wouldn't miss out on work.

Took about 2 hours in the garage, but my truck fired up right away without issue! Spent about $60 all said and done and had a blast fixing the truck for a couple of hours with my cat in the garage, felt so nice not dealing with a mechanic for something this simple and fixing problems with my own hands, looking at doing most of my maintenance at home now!

My father in law turned 100 and we managed to get his granddaughter from Scotland over to surprise him before his big lunch. He's such an amazing man

Growing up and being so uncomfortable in my body, going through all the awkward male puberty changes that I wish I didnt have to experience. I was just alive and not living then. There is alot of things I feel like I missed out on growing up, wanting to have different memories when i look back at my childhood and teenage years. I believe everything happens for a reason and this was the path I was supposed to go down. Im incredibly happy and fortunate that im able to live as my authentic self, even though we live in such a hateful world where others dont understand my existence. I just wish people would have empathy and patience and a little more understanding. Little B if I can go back in time and tell you that things will get easier I would, but things were rough and there will be moments along the way that you felt like you weren't going to make it any further but you kept pushing yourself because you knew that you'd eventually get to where you are at today. I am alot stronger than I expected and this journey is not for the weak. 🏳️‍⚧️❤️

In addition to keeping us safe and the trains clean, the crew working on the trains that took fans to the festival also made sure to provide entertainment! We had a blast
