Confabulations, my day off?
follow along to read how I spend my days off from work, balantly it’s always a Monday — it hits better after getting sloshed on Sundays!
I had a staff party for the rookies at work, but obviously skipped it. duh, genuinely had no reason to go, would rather go out exploring my fav spots again — which is 100% do-able, isn’t it?
Woke up mid- afternoon, 1 pm -ish, Shash made me a classy English brekkie [ eggs included ] + a French press subko coffee [ project Ratnagiri beans ], had to say, he’s good!
Got ready, did my curls and a few spritz of my treasured perfume, yeah?
Alright, headed to Champaca Bookstore & Cafe, nestled on 9th Main Rd, Indiranagar. Cafe, bookstore, and a thrift store? Say less!
So, you reach the place, and it’s an English-looking old school bungalow with plants all around and plenty of people buzzing around on a Monday.
I sit down, order drinks and food + pretty much yank out my fav current read, “Electric Mind”, it’s such a beauty, let me show you -
Keen on seeing more of the cafe & bookstore? Of course, you do
On a red-eye, I met a handsome one + looks very well-mannered too !
Moving on, eating my French toast and all, a few friends of Viraj who wanted my recipe help to fix their vegan & gluten-free protein bars came down to the cafe for a mini chit-chat, had to step into the role of a R&D Chef, whereas I’m more of a chocolatier, actually
I’m sitting ever so stoically, remembering the Sunday night I’ve had at Bob's
Pretty decent how I walked in and got a table under 15 mins? Sunday night, 100ft rd Indirangar one, mind you, not the Woods St one -
A: So, um, is there anything else I did that I need to know about? I wanna be fully informed
B: I told you everything
A: Good
If I don’t order Bob’s Malnad pork curry, I’d be delusional.
Naturally, I always listen to music when I shower and do my curls or get ready. Somehow, I need 45 mins to get out of the door all prettied up. Shash had a bet, let’s see how quickly my sister gets out. Post the shower, I do my curls, outfit & makeup? walk out of the room.
Shash: AHAA! 45 fucking mins I told you !!!

Kavan: bursts out laughing, bhoomi you’re amazing!
Me: That better not be sarcastic, I swear to god -
Shash & Kavan show me their phone with a timer showing exactly 45 fucking minutes…….. he’s gobsmacked. Said, "I look nice. Shash said, " You look like a modern grandma. Now get out, be back home early.”
Saturday was pretty shitty at work, I came home and saw the whole gang was at the place…. I’m constantly relieved.
Naturally, the boys practised or rehearsed the dance for the wedding if my math is right… 670 million times in front of me. Wedding post- dance vids to be judged, and why not?
For the trip, I’d made pot-infused brownies and carrot cake. Cannabutter knocked me into outer space. Tripping balls for 2 days basically just saw visuals from heaven buzzing on the ceiling, the wall and the door or any peripheral vision.
So, Indiranagar metro station? Or let’s say KFC bus station, walk around near the Glens or nearby Toit, you find a very cool walk — in street
Stay with me, you have your very own walk-in street in downtown Indiranagar
Gasoline hits the floor, ain’t pouring that vodka? Tell me when you’re down to pour, nothing left to tell me twice…
Maybe it’s too much?
Bonus footage: always up for drinks on a friday night, yeah?
Later, skater wannabe imposter? [I made that up ] Got a polo RL cap, didn’t invest in new VS bras this month, hey? That’s fine?
I do have a mini Oracle Redbull Racing Max Verstappen’s RB21 scale model car
Keen on seeing it ? yeah, why wouldn’t you be —
Before we begin, y’all know Toit has the best pizzas in town, right?
Moving on………drum roooollllll !
Yeah, we’re done or are we lost in yesterday?
