Being a person who has survived through several depression episodes in the past, I have been really worried that postpartum depression will get the better

This Mother’s Day I decided to pamper myself to a relaxing session at @bbluntsalonskolkata .
For me, maintenance is more about taking care of myself rather than just looking good.
And since I have been severely tanned due to never ending school runs, and Summer Vacation just started, I decided to treat myself to a facial and manicure 💅🌸
And honestly, I feel so fresh and recharged.
Thank you @nickindiaofficial and @bbluntsalonskolkata for this amazing experience
Nickelodeon India, known for celebrating the unique bond between children and families, is marking Mother’s Day with #MomLogic - a heartfelt campaign dedicated to the strength and unconditional love of mothers. The campaign celebrates the iconic “mom logic” of always putting themselves last and somehow always knowing what’s best.

My first Mother’s Day, I remember being 2 months postpartum during lockdown… isolated, exhausted, overwhelmed, and constantly wondering what motherhood was even supposed to feel like. I used to imagine how I would want to celebrate Mother’s Day once the world opened up again — maybe a quiet cup of coffee at a quaint café, some me-time, something small that felt completely mine.
But somewhere along the way, motherhood changed me.
As the lockdown subsided and my little boy grew up, I realised that all I really wanted was to make more memories with him. A cup of coffee? Yes… but with him happily munching on nuggets beside me. A day out? Absolutely… with him running around, laughing, asking a hundred questions, and turning every ordinary moment into an adventure. 🥹
And now, the best part of Mother’s Day isn’t the flowers or gifts… it’s the crafts. The tiny handmade cards from school, the scribbled drawings, the little surprises he makes completely on his own with so much pride and excitement. Those are the things I’ll treasure forever. ❤️
Motherhood has been chaos, cuddles, sleepless nights, sticky fingers, loud laughter, endless worrying, and the purest kind of love I’ve ever known. It changed my priorities, softened me, strengthened me, and gave me a version of myself I never knew existed.
And through these 6 beautiful years of motherhood, thank you Firstcry for always being there for me. From those newborn days to school runs and play dates now, FirstCry has honestly made mom life so much easier. There’s a certain comfort in knowing that whenever I shop from FirstCry, I’m getting outfits that are comfortable, reliable, adorable, and kid-approved every single time. It’s one less thing to stress about as a mom — and that matters more than people realise. ✨
To all the mamas reading this — Happy Mother’s Day. 🌸
You are doing an incredible job, even on the days when it feels messy, exhausting, and unseen. Your love is shaping an entire little world. And that is magical.

An early Mother’s Day celebration filled with slow moments, good food, spa therapy, pool time, coffee breaks, cuddles, and the happiest little family memories 🤍
Sometimes the best gift isn’t anything extravagant — it’s simply getting to pause, unwind, and spend uninterrupted time with the people you love the most.
From relaxing at @novotelkolkata Hotel & Residences to the dreamy spa session at Meghavi Wellness Spa, endless food, coffee dates, pool time with the little one, and ending the day with kebabs and falooda — this staycation was exactly the reset I didn’t know I needed.
And safe to say… Torti the tortoise completely stole the show 🐢🥹
Thank you for making this Mother’s Day feel so special. ✨

We didn’t chase a destination, we just followed the feeling. One turn led to another, the city slowly fading into roads we hadn’t planned for. The playlist kept changing, the conversations drifted, and somewhere along the way, everything started to feel a little more alive. In our Hyundai, it wasn’t about ticking places off a list—it was about getting lost just enough to find something new in ourselves. And maybe that’s the thing about these drives… you don’t come back the same, even if the road leads you home.

If you are someone who loves their Kebabs then the @mokatnovotelkolkata at @novotelkolkata Kolkata is a must try for you.
With 24 non-veg and 24 veg kebabs from all around the world, some 100yr old recipes with their utmost authenticity.
Some stories from the chef how he travelled around the world to accumulate the best kebab recipes from all across the world. How he hasn’t changed even a pinch of salt from the original recipe.
Followed by some seriously delicious kebabs.
For starters we had 24 non-veg kebabs -fish, chicken and mutton.
For main course we had Mutton Nihari, Chicken Biriyani & Butter Naan.
For desert we had faluda.
For a night we felt like royals and we dined like the royals.

One decision that changed my skin game 💜 Started simple with the serum and it worked. Followed it up with the collagen moisturiser and loved the bounce. Currently obsessed with this routine 🫡

As we move from the softness of spring into bright, sunny days, it’s officially time for lighter fabrics, playful colours, and everything that feels like summer ☀️
This season has been all about little moments outdoors — park time, quick walks, and just letting him enjoy the sunshine in comfort. And that’s where outfits really matter. The fabrics from FirstCry’s Splash in Summer Collection feel so soft, breathable, and easy on the skin, which makes a huge difference in this heat.
I’ve been loving the vibrant colours, fun prints, and relaxed styles — they look playful, photograph beautifully, and most importantly, keep him comfortable through all his summer adventures.

Trying to be more consistent with body care, especially the areas I’ve always ignored.
This step focuses on gentle exfoliation with ingredients like glycolic acid and lactic acid to help with buildup, along with kojic acid, alpha arbutin, and niacinamide that are commonly used for uneven tone.
For me, it’s less about instant results and more about regular maintenance over time.
Available at Blinkit, Zepto and Instamart

Basanta Utsav this year was quite different for us this year. We spent the day at Mayapur Iskon. There was not much Holi play, but it was such an experience.

If you are looking for the perfect getaway from Kolkata, @thecandlewoodpark will always be our number one suggestion.
And no, this is not a sponsored post.
As someone who started out as a travel blogger 11yrs ago, and as someone who has collaborated with innumerable hotels and resorts, this is one resort we don’t mind going back to every once in a while as paying customers .
I think we have stayed at all of their rooms except for the 4 bedroom ones at this point.
While their main building gives a goa vibe opening to the sea beach, their new foresta building has rooms as luxurious as it can get.
They are actually almost always fully booked out so there has also been instances when we actually took leaves from school and work to avail their rooms at weekends.

সম্প্রতি @hdfclife এর এই সুন্দর ফিল্মটির সঙ্গে পরিচিত হলাম।
শিক্ষা, টিউশন এবং আরও অনেক কিছুর দৈনন্দিন খরচ যেভাবে বাড়ছে, তাতে আমাদের সন্তানের ভবিষ্যতের জন্য পরিকল্পনা করা আগের চেয়ে আরও বেশি গুরুত্বপূর্ণ হয়ে উঠেছে।
এই ফিল্মটি খুব সুন্দরভাবে দেখিয়েছে, সন্তানদের আগামীর জন্য বাবা–মায়ের মানসিক এবং আর্থিক প্রস্তুতি কতটা জরুরি।
নিজে একজন অভিভাবক হিসেবে, এই ফিল্মের বার্তাটি আমার কাছে খুবই বাস্তবসম्मত এবং গুরুত্বপূর্ণ লেগেছে।
