When Pune-based author Kavita Kane left her cushy job as editor of a Pune newspaper, she realised it was the best decision of her life. A second book contract had followed after the success of the debutante author’s book, Karna’s Wife – The Outcast’s Queen. Quite naturally, Kavita was ecstatic for it only meant she could do everything she wanted – writing, of course was her all-time favourite! Let’s take a peek into the novelist and mother of two’s typical day that is etched with nothing but ‘happy-happenings’!
Kavita dislikes gymming, but she starts her day with yoga as that’s something she enjoys. So, Pranayam and Surya Namaskar find their place in her daily exercise regimen.
After catching up on the day’s newspaper and eating breakfast, she likes to spend some time with her pet dog – Dude!
Writing she fears is a disciplined affair, so she spends a minimum of six hours everyday, usually on her lazy boy chair writing away.
Another addiction for Kavita is of course, light reading and her favourite has to be fiction! It goes without saying, authors like Somerset Maugham, Graham Greene and P.G. Wodehouse prove to be some of the most effective stress-busters for her. By early evening, Kavita has her two daughters back home.
Time to head out with the girls, Kavita quickly gets ready by applying some basic make up – fuchsia pink and reds are her faves! And did we say she has a weakness for shoes? Quite evidently!
The mother and daughters then head to the nearest coffee shop for some fun! Amiya and Kimaya are seen taking a selfie with their mother. Cute 🙂
On days when she is comparatively free, the author indulges in a game of billiards too. Impressive, we think!
Night time is always about catching up with friends or watching a good film! And Kavita has a fun bunch of friends she loves to go out partying with.
Kavita calls it a day by spending some quality time with her husband. And because he is a mariner, she uses the time to her advantage whenever he is home!
