Reader Shout

So any regular readers of this blog out there??

Shout back.

Wake me up when September ends.

Actually don’t. Wake me up immediately.. What if the last day traffic brings the blog down!!(pun intended..!!)

Please..

(NB: concept of calling readers out copied from either Artsy Crafty Mukta or Artsy Craftsy Mom, not sure which one.)

(Edit I: Okay.. That was the 250th post on this blog… What a coincidence of waking this blog up!!)

(Edit II: Changed the blog links.)

Life with N, Facebook and other things

Yes.. She makes me busy. She laughs, smiles and talks some gibberish! Its indeed a roller coaster ride with some good days and some bad days… Her smiles and achievements make me proud and happy while some of her tantrums more aptly called as stubbornness makes me go mad.. Her favourite words are tata for going out, maamam for food and bua for dog (in our language). I am surprised that’s its already 15 months, how time flies! And now she is into practising walking. And now I have to stoop to her level and walk behind her to catch when she falls! My back is gone.

In between, my internet life has got limited to Facebook owing to time limitations. And mostly its at night after she has slept.. So my sleep and my sleepy eyes are also compromised. But its interesting to find so many moms digging Facebook similarly… That’s a relief!

So many other thoughts do come up in my mind, mostly philosophical as always, but could never find the time to pen it all down..

Hmmm..maybe another post for that..

Mid life crisis again

Have you ever felt what you really need to do in life? I know this happens mostly in mid twenties. I am almost past that phase but still hoping for that unique work which interests me. Now there are more responsibilities since N is born, but still. So many people keep asking about returning to work, and I use N as excuse, to escape from further questions.

Why do they consider being jobless with such a shame. Being independent is indeed necessary but can’t we have the freedom to decide when to work, what to work etc. I know its difficult to return work after break, but that’s the society problem not that of individuals na?

Then there is the stay at home group who say they are relieved to some extent and are happy with their decision to bring the children up. More and more I read about such blogs or people I find that convenient option cos you need to be either a super woman who is career ambitious or in pathetic financial situation in dire need of job to manage both work and home. Though I don’t think I do most of the work my mom did when she was working and handling we both kids I am already fed up at times..! Maybe when need arises, like every woman does, I too may be able to handle both but I am yet to find the motivation for that. Currently I Ann happy with N with the only regret that I am unable to make out more time for myself be it for networking or to update any skills or making use of the free little time available…

This too shall pass…I hope…maybe when I turn 30? People say many strange things happen when you turn thirty!…

Inspired!

These days I read so many personal blogs related to either Bangalore or motherhood… In either case I realise people post their thoughts very openly. They don’t hide about their children or silly thoughts etc.maybe this happened earlier too but I started noticing such blogs only now. I now wonder whether posting on the flow would be much better for this blog or else this may never see any post again… Every time I have some opinions our something to share, I either discard it thinking its too personal, or will post it later, clubbing many other things to share etc etc but never happens… Its been ages I checked this blog on PC but though mobile blogging is tough for me I would rather try that way and post some gibberish rather than being absent at all…. What say?

Balcony garden

Apart from handling N and the house, I mainly spend time on Facebook these days.. Seeing the various pretty homes, I have already got interested in thinking of decorating home. The latest dream is to have a balcony garden.. With a coffee table and chair and some accessories, hanging plants, lanterns, statues around me, I am dreaming of sipping the evening tea, with the bustling Bangalore winds or the rains which is expected soon…
