Perfect rainbow over the city this evening gives me a faint feeling of hope and optimism. #coronavirusdiaries #rainbow

What does living with three cats look like? This. (you're lucky I didn't take an artistic photo of all the clumps of cat fur I swept up this morning.) well, I guess that's why the classy dupatta-throw look was invented. #coronavirusdiaries #catsofinstagram

After her bath, she delicately dusts herself with this and then turns on her laptop to have a Zoom conversation with her friends, lifting her feet out of the way so the masked maid can sweep underneath her and she grumbles about how her bootlegger is completely useless these days and out of the corner of her eye she notices the maid taking off her mask to wipe her face and she says, "Hang on guys, the maid's exposing all of us to germs, honestly these people" and after she's done shouting at her maid, she lies in bed in her air conditioned room looking at pictures from her Paris trip in January. She posts a nice one, a brimming plate, a glass of wine. "Gutted that we can't go to Venice as we planned," she types, "It's so hard." Later, her cook bakes some bread, but she has to keep popping her head in to the kitchen to supervise and so she can post a picture of the bread to Facebook so she's hot again. She takes another shower just before bed, puts on more of this powder and goes to sleep, dreaming of beautiful things. #coronavirusdiaries

Me (in my first sari! Age 17ish?) with my mum and grandmother to remind you that being a daughter is a bit like being a Russian nesting doll. In my case, I'm probably the last doll but with some of you, you'll always be able to see part of your mother in your daughter and on and on and on. #mothersday #flashback #coronavirusdiaries

I don't really have that many Zoom calls tbh but I like drawing pie charts anyway. #coronavirusdiaries #piechart

I don't normally share food photos on my feed because as lovely as my cooking has become (ahem. At least WE like it so that's something) it's just not very photogenic. But look how beautiful this karela salad is. I let the vegetable ripen on the vine, which is why it has those bright red seeds. My second time making it, since K also likes it, this time I tweaked the recipe: added a little green pepper, and chopped onions and chillis to karela sliced thin in a dressing of vinegar (out of lemons but those are ideal) salt, ginger and a pinch of brown sugar. It's now sitting in the fridge for an hour so the flavours absorb. So good and so green and crunchy! The bitterness fades in the dressing completely. #coronavirusdiaries #homecooking #karela #eatwhatyougrow #terracegarden

Since I've been teaching myself line drawing through this old textbook I found online, I decided to go off book and just draw dogs. Proportions are a lot easier thanks to the lessons I've learned and I like drawing dogs, they have so much variety. #coronavirusdiaries #sketch #dogstagram #dogdoodles
