I've been indoor for seventeen days now, which has made me revisit some of the old hobbies I had before developing a more robust social, athletic and work life. I'm afraid I've developed into a full-fledged corporate servant: I do still read, but I don't practice calligraphy anymore. Other than reading, ~travel~, going out to eat and working out (ugh) occupy the rest of my time. I rarely spend a weekend or evening at home.
I haven't picked up a calligraphy pen since last year, so instead I thought I would create a list of things I have baked during social distancing:

- Chocolate hazelnut cookies
- Pain au chocolat
- Chocolate almond biscotti
Bear in mind that my sister and brother have been baking, too (earl grey tea cake, butterscotch brownies, pumpkin dark chocolate olive oil cake). Do you see a theme...
I keep trying to remind myself that these days at home are better than the ones spent in Karachi over the summers, when it wasn't safe to leave my grandfather's house. And they are. I can at least go to the park.
I have a book of Bulleh Shah's poems I still haven't read. Maybe I will try to copy some of those.
