The love between a nanny and a child is a complicated relationship that is often undervalued or overlooked due to the monetary aspect involved. But does that mean the nanny doesn’t love the child, or that they don’t share a genuine relationship? These are some of the questions posed by “Petals,” a kannada short film by Sharath Raysad. The film follows Ajji, a nanny who has cared for a little boy named Ayush since he was a baby and considers him her own. On her last day as his nanny, we witness her struggle to come to terms with this ending while trying to give Ayush the best farewell possible.
I recently read The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman and LOVED it—so much so that I immediately picked up her other book, Christa Comes Out of Her Shell. About halfway through, I found myself thinking, “OMG, I really like this book too.”
And like any normal, rational, totally chill person... I decided I needed to read all of Abbi Waxman’s books.
Hello, my name is Navya, and welcome to my blog!
I’d love to say there’s a coherent theme here—that everything ties together in a neat, logical way—but that would be a blatant lie. Much like a collector of oddities, I’m a collector of random obsessions, and this blog is where I showcase them all. Things are slightly organized—you can click through the tabs to find mini blogs dedicated to specific topics. But at its core, this is my slightly odd collection of thoughts, reviews, and interests.

What is that saying? I am consistently inconsistent. I'm just kidding. I don't think that is actually a saying; I think that is just a Navya saying. Because if there is one thing I know to be true, it is that I am not a consistent person. Sometimes I work out, sometimes I don't; sometimes I eat healthy, and sometimes I don't. I have spent years wishing I was this perfectly consistent person who could magically stick to a routine. I spent years holding myself back from creating new things and learning because I thought I wouldn't be consistent, so why even try? And in the process, I deeply resented myself for it.
