Curiosity — Oddity Series — Week 45/46 (Nov 4 to Nov 19)
Every Weekend intend to note down things that were learned or discovered over the week, all to keep myself curious.
Starting with the status of the weeks: 2 Weeks since this was published. Diwali and Work happened in full swing is the excuse I have. But I was brought to this, just to reconsider what all are important for me to note down and savour.
