Was terrified even to think about
it, but couldn't push it for long. The moment is finally there, the transition
takes charge – being the home maker. It
used to make me wonder, on what one can be without engaging them to the real
working, career stream. Major part of my life (the little life) after the studying
was fueled out into working, and hence the thoughts.
While I flew back to the US after
my quickie India vacation, I was trying to put together a plan. A plan to efficiently
spend the new phase, staying home. The first few days was spent with the
irregular sleeping patterns and random ranting. Once it got cleared up, I could
see myself tucked into a pretty interesting schedule. The cooking, the household, the reading and so
is a list.
I remember having no time to
spend speaking to folks ever, keeping them sad and whiny. I have that little
mom-daughter chat almost daily these days. I am sure she missed it for years,
coping up to the stranger me. Same with my father and sister, though not as
often as my mom. Spending more time with friends – even over chat and calls,
this was much missed. But things got better these days I suppose and I like it.
Especially when is about spending time
with the special ones I care about.
The cooking, oh no!.... was
always the very special thing I used to wrap up every other week I visit home. Else
there had to be the guests or friends who used to keep me busy in kitchen. And I
always complained of it being one of the toughest to execute. The schedule is
pretty straightened up now. Three meals a day, I should declare myself to be
the perfect house wife. My better half should be proud and happy about me (I
know I am a good cook). Moreover my
timing with the whole thing is impressive, being a faster one.
The reading – I have enough time
to plan and spend on the books I wanted to read all the time. The newbies and
the unfinished old ones. The big house keeps me mostly engaged with the décor and
its own welfare activities. Catching up on the movies which I missed to watch
times back due to some random urgency that showed up at the hour. More of
music, my chosen way to the sanity – I am loving it.
The next ones lined up are my
schedule with the gym and a peak into learning Spanish. I know the first one is
not easy to begin with and tougher to maintain with my kind of laziness. But
want to give it my best trying for better results.
I should be back pretty soon with
new rolling updates!!!
