Man, what a day it was. Office started early with my yellow belt certification presentation and then went to combat all the pendings of 4 days. People are definitely working much harder than I am, mostly by force and not by motivation. But they are. And the problem is that sb realises it. So I got a good dose of gyaaan today. But I took it well and did not show any resistance. Maybe I was in a pleasant mood after 4 days of respite. I was more tolerant of people and life in general. I didnt lose my cool, until I came back from work to my maid who had not cooked anything (4th time) and without any good reason...
Anyways, I m feeling much better now as I m listening to some good music. Actually Dev D music is much better than what it felt like when I was watching the movie. Some songs are quite nice and positive..
So I was telling you about work. So after meeting sb, armed with the gyaan and the good feeling to have avoided a tussle, I took up the tasks one by one, and before I knew, it was lunch time. After that again I had meetings to help me fly by the day. So at 6:40, I packed up and left - Mom had to go back and I had to come to Aryan.
Tomorrow again too much work awaits me. But I hv some new good music to help me sail by... CU

Madness begins tomorrow...
Have been at home for the last 4 days as was down with Viral. However, these days were very relaxed and nice. My mail access has not been working and hence could not check my mails, so was actually away from work in the literal sense. This proved to be healing and helped me get back on my feet very quickly.
Does our career instill well being or otherwise? This has been the toughest one, especially since Aryan. The grass is perinially greener with the stay-at-home moms. But the ones who have actually ventured to the other side, are usually ridden with compulsion than choice. I have read about the women who have made a choice, rather than follow the fate and chosen to give up their career and take care of children, and are really happy about it. But am yet to meet one.
Maybe these women are interviewed after the worst has passed and were equally regretful when the kids were either more than a handful or were too aloof to care. Maybe is they were asked then, they would have come up with a different response.
But still, all in all I am still wondering, will it work for me? Can I be an ideal homemaker and mom? Can I actually live without my career? Something that has been a part of me since I was a kid.... I can only know for sure after I actually go over to the greener pastures where I will be at home for my family, to cook, make a haven out of my home, love it, relax, glow maybe with the rest, be in shape, look fab even at 40!
Maybe I will know the answers only when I am 40....
