🌻 ANAYA KAPOOR 🌻

I open my eyes and switched off the alarm uggggg ye subhe itni jaldi kyu hoti hai anyways, i have to get up now. After making my bed, i went to the washroom .

After a hot bath and drying my hair, i came out wearing a kurti . For my makeup, i applied some BB cream, loose powder, kajal and a bindi. The rest, y'll see in pic below.

started my car and headed towards MAHADEV-PARVATI Temple, which was just 20 mints away. While i drive, let me introduce myself.

Hey,  I'm Anaya kapoor, a 27 year old and the proud owner of meraki -- a place you'll get to see soon . I have a deep love for reading and cooking, and i spend most of my time at meraki. I live alone in my apartment, though my dadi sometimes comes to stay with. most of the time, she stays with Badde Papa,Badi Maa, Mayank Bhaiya and Tara Bhabhi.

When i was 20, i lost my parents in a car accident.It was a devastating loss, but my badi and the rest of my family surrounded me with so much love and support, for which I will always be grateful .

If you're a reader, then you've probably felt the feminin urge to open a bookstore that's also a cafe. With that same thought, i started Meraki.

As for why i chose the name meraki - well , that's the story for later. For now, let's go meet my Mahadev and maa parvati.

After parking my car and buying a thali for the pooja, i headed inside for darshan. Closing my eyes, i silently thanked god for everything He had given me and performed my pooja with devotion.

My little movement of admiration for Mahadev and Maa Parvati came to an end when pandit ji handed me the prashad.

"Beta, Bhagwan ji aapki saari kaamnayein poori kare. Tumhe yahan dekhkar hamesha khushi hoti hai , somvaar toh aati ho, par beech beech mein bhi darshan ke liye aati ho toh aur bhi achha lagta hai". Pandit ji said with a warm smile.

I smiled, touched his feet as a gesture of respect, and then drove myself to Meraki.

Welcome to Meraki! just like its name, I built  it with love, soul, and creativity. Over time, it has become famouse for its uniqueness. Despite its popularity, it has always retained  its calm and beauty. Readers comes here to enjoy books with a snack, while others visit for the mouthwatering food .

Meraki has a special space for everything - a separate reading section and a dedicated dining area - so that everyone feels  comfortable in their own way.

I personally spend most of my time here, either reading, helping the staff, or interacting with customers. The more you engage with people, the more feedback you receive for improvements, and i believe that's  what makes meraki special.

Just then, my phone started ringing . It was none other than my Bestfriend, Meera.

"Hello meeru! where are you, haa? Mujhe toh bola tha 8 baje tak aa jayegi its 8:30pm now!"

"Areey, my cutuu! i'm on the way, u know na the traffic abhi 5 mints main pohoch jaungi ok, bye!"

"Haa, bye" come safely ".she hummed in response and ended the call.

Just as she said, she arrived soon after. we spent time together over dinner, and she left around 10PM. After wrapping up everything, l started my car, reached home, spoke with dadi and everyone for a while, and finally, it was time to sleep.

Good night .
