Day 286 (No holidays please!)

 So working moms don’t really like office holidays. There are multiple reasons for it...

1) Holiday means complete or atleast 80-90% ownership of the kid which doesn’t give you anytime in the day to be able to only apply your brain without doing any physical activity.

2) Holiday is either for a festival which if you plan to celebrate doubles up the load or it is for a national holiday or weekend which usually means that either spouse or you need to complete the office backlogs so not really a holiday actually !

3) Holiday might mean travel (pre-Covid era) which means hyper tension, panic and anxiety 

4) Holiday due to a fake sick leave means today hubby is too busy to look after kid for the whole day! Holiday due to real sick leave is obviously a bad holiday. 

5) In case you get a holiday where your spouse takes the max load then you are so not-habitual of this time that you spend the whole time being confused whether to sleep/watch tv/read/cook that whatever you do, you regret not doing the other things !

6) If you have a Vaastu like me then your holiday will always call for an over workload at office for hubby which is basically an over-workload for you in parenthood and house chores !

So thanks but no thanks... no holidays please!!

DAY 321 (Bring the change!)

 If you are a mother and if you keep cribbing about societal issues and the way kids have been brought up in our generation, keep reading. Well, every generation have their own issues and we all progress in a way or another. But even after generations of changes there is one common issue which is discussed in all forums (professional and personal/ formal and informal/ planned and unplanned) is patriarchy.  I am not one of those feminist who advocate for the world to turn into a matriarch to take revenge on the oppression generations of women have been facing. I honestly vote for equality. And I think most of us do. However, what do we actually do to bring that change?  Apart from discussing and being profound at the takeaways, I don’t think there is any progressive step that we actually take. I do feel that to take the step it does not have to be groundbreaking. Everything starts at home and so this solution starts at home too.  Most of the time, we start discussing ...

DAY 322 (Choose the world you want to live in!)

I honestly believe that 1 good thing/person overpowers atleast 5 times of negativity.  Whole my life, I have seen narcissist men all around. That's precisely 22 years of my life. And then I meet one guy and he immediately superseded and changed my expectations from men. What I felt was obvious and natural behavior for 22 years became unacceptable behavior without any leniency. That's what goodness does to you. You forget the capacity and the quantity in which you have it. It is just right and nothing in the world can make you feel otherwise. Similarly, there might be 100 people who don't really like you or wish ill to you but the 10 people who are your true well wishers will always supersede them all. It is a simple logic. Hate/dislike is never committed enough to be consistent. Someone does not like someone, they will talk ill or wish bad for the person and then move on to the next one to curse. But love prevails always. It is there in the conscious and the subconscious. P...

DAY 91 (Yukkkk..!!!)

Another GODFATHER for guys is out now....and yes I am talking about LSD (Love Sex and Dhoka) ! Standing ovation for Miss Ekta Kapoor who chose to leap from the head to toe covered Saas and bahus to directly all nude perverts...!!  I have seen guys being so curious for this movie probably because its been a long time after DEV D for them to watch something "meaningful" like this. I find you tube links of the promos and the special songs of the movie in their social networking site's status and they are just so proud of that. I am ...and I am sure every girl is amazed with the criteria of their meaningfulness! Either everything yukkkyyyy is just their type or they have not been keen to explore any other thing in the world than this! I am sick and tired of the caller tunes which I get to hear now whenever I call up any one of them and then I just do not want to talk any further after that. I believe learning Biology compulsorily till class 10th atleast has given only t...
