If you want to be happy and live a happy life…you have to make some
arrangements yourself
You just can’t expect that situation which is troubling you would get
better on its own…or if it’s the people who are causing problems to you,
they will be blessed with changed attitude…Naah…it just doesn’t happen
so why all this funda and philosophy?…that too when they day is just
starting? And when you know you have loads of work to finish
These days I am all allowed to do whatever I feel like.. :) Benefits of
being a ‘gonna be mom’ :D
So all this has triggered from my daily schedule …commuting from home to
office (which is in hinjewadi, “beautifully planned”(??) area in Pune where
most of the IT offices are…
I was a happy bird and proud of myself for being able to manage my
office, home and also taking out some time for my little one daily…for prayers,
exercises, healthy eating etc etc..
But then, these long awaited rains started..and phew ! Nothing was same L …I had to wait for my
bus for 30-40 sometimes 60 mins !!! that too in rains…and at a place where
there is no shed…
All the vehicles around are honking in rhythm.. and this scene can be
described in big essays…but hope you have got an idea..
And then..even in bus…your educated, cultured (IT??) colleagues will not
even give you a place in the front…driver uncle will just start the bus as soon
as you climb up first step..
And then in that moving bus you have to request people to give a
place..they will make some faces and will finally move !! Such an exciting
start of the day !!
All these times, I am just praying Him to take care of my baby…try not
to get frustrated, just because its not good for my little one…and at whom
precisely can I get angry?
There is no one person or one reason to blame for…(of course, there is
always your husband….after all he has earned that privilege by marrying you ;-)
)
If I am lucky, I will reach office by 9.30…if “Lord of rains” decides to
go in full action, it can be 10am, 10.30am or even 11.30 am…
Wait, it doesn’t end here…I reach office..just to realize that, there is
queue for bag checking, queue for card swipe in, and another queue for elevator
(queues are ok, but pregnancy effects! you just want to be given special
treatment everywhere…like you get in at home..but who cares?)
You try to move fast so that, you are ahead in elevator queue…No, no,
don’t even think about it, no one here will ask you to go first, because u r
pregnant….come on, they all are too busy to compromise their spot..
Finally you reach your floor…and u want to use rest room..another
queue..and so on and so forth
With all this daily on your schedule, and then heaps of work and project
tensions (that’s another story, lets not go into that now)…you really cannot
enjoy being pregnant..When you really want to…everyone asks you to be happy, peaceful etc…but
its so so very difficult !
Ultimately, you start fighting with ur husband(by the way, who is the
best thing you have got in this life)….on small stupid things …and its not
really what should be going on..at this stage in your life…
So..finally…husband comes for rescue…as always ! He decides to buy a
car…to solve all ur problems..and to make your life comfortable….Yeyyyy !!!
With all these rains and “smooth” roads, he decides to keep a driver for
office pick and drop.. J
And with this one change, here is how my new day looks
We start early in the morning in ‘our’ car…Enjoy the ride….with Mr
Balaji Tambe to accompany us with his music…reach office by 9am J
You are the only one for bag check, for card swipe…and then elevator
comes down..specially for you…takes you to 6th floor…which is all
empty…
You get to use a clean wash room…and you are all enthusiastic and excited to
start your work day…
You open the curtain a little more than usual to enjoy beautiful view
outside …you go to canteen…buy a special masala chai….take it to ur desk…..and
then u start loving the rains again !
Suddenly all your complaints are vanished….Husshhh
And say in your mind…to your client, team, manager etc…Bring it on.. !
