Being What I Always Wanted To Be.....

Since (Recently) I have been introduced to something really calming called peace of mind, I have understood that as soon as you turn down the chaos inside (your mind) you can see chaos all around you dancing like crazy monkeys. When people behave impulsively like you, it’s very unusual to see how unpleasant you sounded. Talking without listening, fighting without a cause, it’s all very common. But it’s really not needed. I am not preaching... I am telling you what I learnt from personal experience recently. Sometimes being talkative makes you blabber a lot of things that you regret later. Maybe you vented out a fight with your family in front of your friend and later you realise that the fight is all gone but now it’s very difficult to change the impression on your friend of your family. Small stuff like these, if avoided on time, can solve a lot of complexities. Parenting is another example. Not losing your cool and trying to understand the child’s perspective is of utmost import...

I am a tester (QA analyst) by profession and being a mother has enhanced my skills with another competency: testing my physical limits. The non-stop energy needed, the 24x7 household work, the sleeplessness, the multitasking and what not! It’s really not easy to be a mom along with anything else ! I am lucky in the sense that my kid doesn’t test my mental limits (atleast not yet!). However, I amaze myself everyday by the amount of work I get done on my own. Well, maybe if you come to my house (especially on a weekday), you might look around and say what was that 24x7 household work she was bragging about? But if I wouldn’t have done that, you probably wouldn’t even enter my house too so I will leave it to your imagination. There has been a change recently on how I take these challenges though. I think I have reduced being a crib-er and I appraised myself everytime the challenge gets a level-up. It maybe an unexpected juggling of tasks or few extra hours of unassisted baby-sitting ...
