Since @janicepariat asked me for a photo of my writing desk with all the stuff that has meaning around it, I sent her like fifty THOUSAND messages about it for her own series (highlighted in her stories.) And then I thought I'd put up a post on my own feed and tag a few extra people also so we can see what working from home looks like to everyone. As for me, you know working from home IS working for me, this is how I normally live so my study is my office. I call it my growlery, British style, because I am often to be found growling in it. Things I love include: the desk itself, which took me through board exams & college crises before returning to me as a grown up, my beloved mechanical keyboard which I recommend to every writer, my laptop has stickers from all over the place, my "art" on the wall next to me, my chair used to belong to an ex but he left and the chair stayed and it is much more comfortable than he ever was. What else? The growlery itself was made out of the terrace bathroom and I chose this green as well as the flowered tiles for an Austen vibe. This might be my favourite room in our whole house, which is good because I wrote three books in it. I tag @ameyann @samitbasu @nayantarasood @samira.sood and @diksha_basu to post a picture of their #wfmworkspace. Is this how tag memes work? I guess we'll find out!

The overbloomed spring roses were smelling so nice, I brought a few indoors for the coffee table along with the yellow whatsit. The Indian honeysuckle? Gorgeous, whatever its name is. #thelittlethings #terracegarden #flowers

Had a (very little) social gathering. Separate chip dip bowls for everyone, no hugging, lots of hand washing. But I made some Bloody Marys and we sat in the sun and talked about these strange times we live in. Photo courtesy the beauty mode on my phone which has tried to fix my deviated nasal septum and made it kind of pointy? Oh well, I still feel cute and not contagious. #terracegarden #bloodymary #sundays #coronavirusdiaries

Lots of cat content brought to you by staying home with a strep throat, coronavirus threats and end of winter glory. Happy Bruno because he had fish head soup yesterday and now he is forever hopeful for more.

Good morning from my study in contrasts, both in personality and in colour, sleeping sweetly next to each other as though they don't fight all day long. #catsofinstagram #squishytheblackcat #brunothetabby

Can't quite capture the sunset sparkling on wet leaves just outside our house but here, have a study in wet and dry shadows in the park instead. #parksofdelhi

Furiously blooming succulent was so gorgeously red and vivid that I turned it into a centre piece for our balcony table. #terracegarden #succulent #plantsofinstagram
