Went to my college class teacher’s daughter’s wedding. Was so happy to meet my school and college teachers. Also met my school principal Suma Ma’am who was impressed with my career and invited me to school for a talk :)
26 May
Praveen, Rajath, Athe, my parents - We all went to The Soda Factory for dinner to celebrate Athe’s birthday. And best part was enjoying Patidar smashing 93 from 33 balls and qualifying to IPL 2026 finals :)
14 May
Finally, Kraanthi went live on Google Maps! Yahoo.. that was in my todo list since many months. Today, it’s done ✅ Appa fixed the standee problem which was needed for Google Business Manager :)
18 May
Rested well. Applying oil to my hair regularly to prevent hair fall. Also trying my best to take care of my face by washing face twice and applying Nat Habit’s Mukhalaya.
16-17 May
Went to a resort in Sakleshpura with Uma Athe’s family. Enjoyed kayaking and also revived my swimming skills. Chava also enjoyed in baby pool. Played Antakshari in bus. Danced and sang in bus and during camp fire at night.
15 May
Cleaned two shelves near sink. That’s a win for the day.
14 May
Something in my todo list for last one year got done today! Created Kraanthi as a store on Google Maps 🤩
13 May
Another milestone achieved! Launched Kraanthi in two offline stores 🤩 Grateful to the divine and store owners for opening these doors.
I asked in one store and Appa asked in another store owner. So 2 deals.
12 May
Praveen shared my (1M1B) video on his WhatsApp :)
On the other hand, it’s disheartening to see own relative being so jealous of our achievements, I’ve decided that I’ll avoid meeting such people going forward to avoid negative energy. Lesson learnt.
11 May
Amma Appa shared my video in status and many of them appreciated :) Also, today, Athe, Amma Appa Chava & I went to shop silver earrings for Athe & Amma :) We all nicely roamed in Rajajinagar and Malleshwara.
10 May
Wished my Amma and Athe a happy Mother’s Day, along with WhatsApp status. Amma Appa came home :) Appa spent two hours removing the seeds of dried dates! So everything’s ready for Homemade Dry Fruit Laddu :)
9 May
Spent 6 hours at midnight researching about compostable packaging, from 11 PM to 5 AM. This is something which I would love to build, more than Kraanthi. Pitched it to Praveen in the morning and I hope we will able to build it and save million tons of plastic packets entering landfills and oceans!
8 May
The best edited video about Kraanthi went live 🤩 Was super duper excited! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYFA4x9TpIO/?igsh=djF2NmNneXk2am51
7 May
Did 1.5 hour walk in park today! Also checked with a retail shop owner if I can keep 3 packets of Kraanthi Ragi Malt powder in her store and he happily agreed. I’m so happy :)
6 May
From 12-3 in midnight, I cleared 2,400 emails. Next step is to clear drive. Once it’s done, I want to delete one google account. Also wrote a LinkedIn post & Instagram post about setting Ecosia as the default browser app, instead of Safari and Chrome. #DigitalSustainability
5 May
Placed order for Stainless Steel Chopping Board, which can be used for kneading too by Mala, especially for Jowar Roti.

Cousins get-together at our place because Vanshika has come to Bengaluru, after two years. Praveen ordered food from Kamadhenu Veg restaurant for dinner :)

Went to Nelamangala to attend my MIL’s best friend’s daughter’s engagement. Spent whole day there. Went to meet Bhavya too, after years. People in Nelamangala town are so welcoming and warm-hearted :)

Met Chitradurga (in-laws) family after a long time. Gifted a copy of my book to Lavanya Akka :)

Came to Hosakote on the occasion of Karga. Shopped a photo of 7 running horses for Nanasu to fix some amount of vaasthu problem. Amma is very happy because she wanted to buy it since a long time.
