Good morning from this side of the planet
It's 9:10 AM and I am all done with the morning chores, my morning yoga and all that I needed to do before logging in for my work. A fresh shower with a lime flavored bodywash ( I got it new) is really refreshing.
. Today husband took the turn to mop the downstairs while I took care of the master bedroom up. And the fresh smell of jasmine scented floor cleaner is lovely. Everyone is back to school and work after a yummy breakfast of rava onion dosa( pancakes out of semolina flour) and coconut mint chutney.
I have logged in a bit early and still have 20 minutes at hand before my class starts. So I can post this discussion and read some of yours in mean time. 
The picture is of another pretty colored leaves I have shifted to my balcony from the shaded gazebo on our terrace. So I bring more nature near my workplace

Thank you. They call it Myana plant here. I also thought it to be coleus when I picked it up from nursery. But that fellow told me that coleus is different. The one that I have posted in a post some days back is Coleus. God knows how are they different. They both look the different variety of the same plant.

@arunima25 Myana and Coleus are the same plant, weird that someone who sells plants in a nursery does not know. There are 43 varieties of Coleus, this is one of them.

@LadyDuck Here people in nursery are not very well educated ones. Many are poor with only basic education or even illiterate.
Thanks for sharing it

@arunima25 , that is wonderful to know that you and your family have progressed vey well! I happy to know that you have taken up the full time job! ing your I am very happy for that! In fact I was having a feeling that by working part time you were not utilizing your skill and talent to the optimum level!
Hearty Congragtulations to your elder one on getting wonderful score of 96.8% in her Matriculation. Was she passed out from State Board or CBSC?
Nice to know the younger one is also planning her life's ambition and work hard to make it come true!
I think you must cnvey thanks to the Covid 19 Virus that has given an opportunity to stay your husband and your self together for a considerable length of time. Kids also must have been happy with this!
Yes, in fact I had some issues with my heart which I have sorted out and I am OK!
Have a great time and be in touch whenever you have time! Stay blessed, Take care!

This year I have joined full time and since it's work from home, it's working well. Once back to normal , I will switch back to shorter working hours as I need to pick up and drop my younger daughter to her school and other classes in evening. I have made it clear to them before accepting their offer to work full time. So some added responsibility on work front.
Husband has not travelled anywhere since March and is working from home. It's the longest he has stayed in one place without travel since 18 years of marriage
and I am getting used to it
Elder one passed 10th with a good 96.8% and is pursuing Science in same school. And keeping architecture and design as her focus post 12 grade.
Younger one is now in 8th grade and coping well with academics despite her dyslexia. And doing exceptionally well with her music, arts, cooking and baking skills. Has decided to be a full time Baker and part time music teacher
That's from my end. I hope your personal issues were not something serious and you are all settled with it. And hope you are keeping well with your health especially with your heart. And it's always good to hear from you.

@AKRao24 Elder one took CBSE. Younger one has opted for State Board as it is a bit straight forward questions there and I opted for something simple for her. Husband has got used to be in lifestyle here. And in fact covid has taught some real valuable lessons...to slow down , enjoy every moment and to cherish and respect all the little joys around. We never know when a little thing that we do not value can seem priceless. Like the freedom to go out and walk in fresh ar without any fear seems like a luxury now. Also somewhere we get the message that Nature is the supreme and we better respect it.
I am glad that your heart issue is sorted out. You should be now more careful with every little thing.
Good to see you back here. Hope we come across each other more in coming times.

@arunima25 Bubble wrap wouldn't work here in Connecticut where I live. I'd rather be in Florida where it's sunny, tropical, and beautiful for 6 months, but not going this year due to the virus.

Your winter can be cruel to many plants and flowers. I have seen people wrapping their outdoor plants in bubble wrap in colder places to make them survive winter. Here we have blooms throughout the year.
