annoyed with the fact that the sun set before I even got back home from work….. This is something that annoyed me too many times. Be it coming back from work or be it coming back from school (yes in winters reaching back home from school after travelling by public transport, would invariably be something like 6:30 pm)

I hear you, Reema! I can imagine the feeling of living alone, as I did that for a good couple of months when we moved to the UK many moons back. The only difference, though, my husband and I were living in two different cities (he was working in Bristol and I was a PG student in Manchester) and we met up once in a fortnight so, it wasn’t too bad but we did have to deal with living alone in a new country and it definitely wasn’t easy.
Knowing that you’ve done well so far, I’m sure you’ll do your best and who knows, you might even fall in love with being on your own!! :)) Jokes apart, making video calls anytime we feel like are such a blessing nowadays, so, please do that whenever you’re homesick or when you miss family!
Pray you settle into your new life very soon, Reema.
I’m looking forward to reading snippets from your life in Germany, so keep sharing and keep writing as and when time permits.
Stay safe and take care

Awww First of all hugs! It can get so lonely especially in a different country. Having lived around the globe, I really understand what you are saying. For cooking, if possible buy a small Instant Pot. You can bring it back to India. That way you can pressure cook and do so much more. I am planning to buy an Instant pot and air fryer for my son who is in college in US now that he will be cooking himself. If you love eggs, make them for breakfast daily. Buy lots of canned stuff like chickpeas, rajma etc. so that you can at least throw together a salad with veggies. Olive oil and apple cider vinegar in pantry along with spices help you toss up a good salad. Pasta and noodles too must be there. Just meal prep during the weekend. And remember if you have leftovers you can have them for the next meal. Come on now. Cheer up. Loved your pictures. Do loads of video calls to peeps back home.

It’s always a pleasure to read your posts and it’s been a while now.

I wish you settle in with ease and comfort. That pressure cooker sure is a must have. Hope you manage to get one soon. So you can rustle up a basic Daal, kichdi etc.

How about exploring some chicken dishes, as they are faster to cook and salads and soups too? Wont need a pressure cooker for these.

The pictures are all gorgeous, but I can totally imagine how tough it vis without our loved ones, in a new set up.

I wish you happy days and a wonderful life changing experience in Germany, Reema. I bet you miss your doggo too.

In reply to Tulika. Yes, the pretty nooks and corners are cheering me up. Cooking for one though difficult is a better option because eating out is quite expensive. And yes, I'm looking forward to be more regular with my posts here. Thanks for reading :)
