There are a lot of stories behind the inception of me and Laika’s friendship, and a lot of reasons why maybe it shouldn’t have worked out. I stood her up because my bumper fell off, and she didn’t know that for days because I didn’t have her number. My enthusiasm got her head butted in the crotch by an overzealous pygmy goat. I forgot her birthday the first year we were friends and sent her a terribly inappropriate Sopranos clip at maybe the worst historical time ever to do so.

But there’s way more reasons why it did work out. I think the first reason is walks. We took a lot of those together during our two weeks working together at the state psychiatric hospital. It was September, still hot enough that we could spend hours outside but cool enough that the shade was just fine. While she spoke I noticed things. I noticed the ivy curling around the old brick. It was greener than I remembered. I saw broken alcohol bottles around the trash cans and remarked on the brands. We stumbled upon an old pond filled with detritus and browned leaves and I said “Hey I should bring my floatie here this weekend.” I was only half kidding. The truth is that things are just way more beautiful when she talks. I know that in a lot of ways now, but I knew that first through walks. She brings this truth and ambition to everything she does and I think those qualities make the world more beautiful.

It’s her birthday today. We are not together so we won’t be taking a walk. That is sad for me. But I know there are so many walks in our future, and I can’t wait to see things the way she gets me to see them. Happy birthday Laikaaaaaa

I’m thinking about M&Ms today.

I’m thinking about my super saturated world with vivid color. Despite today’s abundance of color, M&Ms are still exciting to me. Small pops of shine with a different density to each bite depending on how many you eat at once. I’m thinking about how in this world, where I can pretty much have anything I want, M&Ms still make me happy.

And now I’m thinking about how World War I was fought in trenches. I picture soldiers crouched in holes with their backs against the soil, and dirt smeared on their faces and over their uniforms. Caked into the creases of their skin, even in places they didn’t spread it on. I’m thinking about how barren the landscape might have looked when they did go above ground. And I’m thinking about what an M&M might have looked like to them.

And now I’m thinking about wars fought later, past trenches but into jungles and deserts. I’m thinking about Agent Orange, and long marches, and deep tunnels dug into the ground. I’m thinking about the fear you have no choice but to confront; the loss you have to stomach, and the two feet that go on standing until they don’t. I’m thinking about bravery and honor. In the midst of the barbecues and the start of that long awaited summertime buzz and the woodsmoke I’ll be thinking about m&ms and what they mean to me.

This Memorial Day
Thank you.

Amlan got more attention than ponyboy today. Pb has retaliated by climbing into my lap and asserting his dominance. I have had one margarita and am happy for the warmth

Last week I posted that I was having a hard time adjusting and the comments I received on that post were among the kindest I’ve ever received after ten years on this app. What you all wrote about me reflected how I wish I felt about myself on my worst days, and how I sometimes feel about myself on my best ones. I can’t tell you how grateful I am. I screenshotted the comments and added them to a special folder.

Being here is very special for me. I do not spend a lot of time creating or editing content. I show up as I am. I don’t supervise my child’s every moment. I let him decide what he wants to do because nobody’s gonna plan his every activity in the real world. I try to teach manners and respect first out of everything, even though people tell me it’s overkill to request that he say “please” mid-meltdown. It’s hard, here and in life, to know if how you’re perceived is how you want to be.

I just want to thank you for being kind to me and my family. As far as childcare and dog rearing goes we are fairly simple. I believe that less is more and kindness is more valuable than stuff. It is nice to know that there are those who are still with me. I am incredibly grateful.

Solo parenting day 1 ✅ was actually kind of a blast. They’re both such good kids.

I was thinking of doing a live tomorrow or Wednesday just to have some socialization. If this is something you’d be interested in, what time works for you?

Yesterday was , where the small businesses of Long Island city tell the community what they do during a big fun family friendly street fair. gave us this adorable matching headband/bandana set and took these photos. Very grateful to live in such a wonderful town.

I am feeling very down today. I had lasik in 2011 and it was the most wonderful gift my mother has ever given me. It changed my life instantly. My vision has a long and storied history. I got glasses in second grade at which point it was already pretty bad. My mom asked “Ruchi, why didn’t you say?” I told her “mom, I didn’t know I couldn’t see.” By middle school she yelled at me me often for leaving globs of conditioner and shaving cream in the shower. One day she demanded “WHY DO YOU DO THIS?” I explained that the only way I could see where I was shaving or where the soap had been was by the demarcation of color, since I couldn’t see any detail without my glasses. She burst into tears. She hadn’t realized it was that bad.
I finally got contacts in seventh grade, when Sara did. When she ran out of her front door I heard my mom mutter “sh*t” from the drivers seat. (She doesn’t curse.) she knew she couldn’t put it off any longer.
Lasik was a dream come true. It has been a great fifteen years but today I have learned I need slight corrective lenses again. I can see fine and am functionally still 20/20 but my eyes strain more than others so it’ll be a quality of life improvement. When I put the lenses on and saw clearer the memory of it all was so familiar and so bitter that I barely held back tears till I left the office.

It’ll start with reading and screens and then I’ll get used to them and before I know it I’ll be carrying a purse so I always have them with me. It is not a big deal, I know, not really, in the scheme of everything happening. But man those fifteen years were nice.

So when we were looking at these z was like “who the hell is that?!” And pointed to the black dog behind us that no one noticed. I like to believe it’s a little bit of Taylor showing up bc I’m NOT too young to know this song by the starting line 😜

There are no photos or my mother pregnant. Nor of her mother. Nor any of my aunts.
Photography in rural India was a solemn thing. One was hired and the subjects didn’t dare look too happy in the photos. It was unseemly. Life was difficult, often grim, but family was important. I picture a five second pause waiting for a bulb to flash. I wonder if they giggled afterwards.
That’s how it was in India, but not in America. There’s no shortage of photos of me with my dad, but hardly any of me with my mom. For those that exist, she looks tired and busy and stressed. She didn’t know to ask; didn’t have time to care.
But I do. I treasure my family and the generational shift in seeking joy. I’m good at finding it in the simple things and that’s what I want to hold and remember. These magic fleeting moments when we’re young and happy and together and the grass is green.

When you are about to have a baby people will tell you thousands of things you need. Most of them you don’t. I think one thing you need is an amazing family photographer that you trust, who will hold your baby as a newborn and keep holding him in the years that come. is a magician and has meant so much to our family. She sees me how I want to be seen. Photos, to me, are worth it. Because while I have tons of my dad before 7, I have none after. I wish I had more, so now that it’s my turn, I’ll create more. Because time is fleeting and this moment is All we have.

Ps- one time Mariana left a session with us to photograph a sweet 16 of a child she had taken newborn photos of. How incredible is that
