I start my morning with three things

Yoga

Chai

And Shahrukh Khan

I need to listen to at least one of his songs every day so my day goes well. He has been my favourite actor since I first saw his movie. I don't remember how old I was but when I saw him on the big screen I instantly made him my favourite Bollywood actor and it's still the same

The warm breeze is making me feel a bit humid. I like Summers but not Australian summers. It's way different than India. We call it summer when it's more than 40°c and here summer starts at 25°c

I don't know how to feel about it

It's an advantage I guess

Yet, I still like to do my daily yoga routine on the patio on the lawn. In the peaceful environment with greeny around me, could hear the voices of small sparrows chirping around

After completing my routine, I sit on the mat with my legs folded and meditate for a while. My headphones playing the 'Main Hoon Na' title track. I need this to keep myself calm, I have always been a bit short-tempered since childhood but I learned how to stay calm in the worst situations

Brown household training

Meditating also helps me especially when I have to deal with certain animals every day

Even though meditating is supposed to be relaxing and clear my mind, I couldn't help but listen to Bollywood songs while doing it. And now I am humming with the lyrics, breathing in and out slowly with my eyes closed

Suddenly, I feel something soft and furry on my lap. I sigh, realizing what it is, slowly opening my eyes and looking down to see Charlie snuggling into my stomach while purring.

"Agaye, Janabe Ali? Aap ka hi intezar tha" I chuckle, caressing his head. He is the clingiest cat I have ever known and the cutest one too
[Translation: Oh you have arrived Respected Sir? I was waiting for you]

Charlie is a white coloured Maine coon, he is just 2 years old so he is quite bigger than other cats. And a lot fluffy!

Two years ago, Lucas adopted him. I had no idea and just to annoy me he used to sneak Charlie into my bed and when I woke up the pillowcase would be covered in tiny scratches

I thought I wouldn't be able to stay with two animals but at least one of them is bearable

And that's Charlie

"Up with the bolly yoga session?" A voice comes from behind me. I pull my headphones down to my shoulders and turn my head to look at Mia standing near the door that leads to the lawn from my room.
