Oh money, money money!!
Long gone are the days when a big fat amount used to get deposited in my account every month!! the Best day for any working individual - the salary day!! It's quite funny how i always used to take money for granted. i mean it's only very recent that i have considered that salary as a "big fat amount"!
With the salary in the account and the debt card in the bag the whole world used to welcome me. Window shopping meant a way to find the best thing available and grab it before anyone else. This is not to say that i was a shopaholic or extravagance buyer. i have never owned a credit card nor will i ever. They are just not my thing. i am very happy with my debit card, until recently i went to the ATM and the machine blinked "Amount not available". Talk about service quality i sadi to myself as i moved to aother near by ATM just to find the dame message being thrown at the screen.
The system must be down for the entire area i thought to myself as i put the car in first gear and moved to my second fav shopping spot. After finding a parking spot near the ATM i was so sure i would get the desired tiny amount that i almost had to skip a heart beat when the same darn message popped up on the screen and started at me, mocking me, hitting me for the very first time that maybe it's not the system but MAYBE it's my account that actually doesn't have the desired amount. I felt a strange feeling. Oh so this is how it feel whenu want money and u dnt have it! Oh so that means i dint have money. I could have started to cry right there and then if the person outside the ATM had not knocked on the door.
I dint cry but i did realize that Who ever said money cant buy happiness; dint have a lot of money!!

A wife's letter to Hubby
1. Wet towels are wet. Placing them on the bed will not only make the bed damp but also make both the towel and bed smelly.
2. It is possible to place back the toothpaste caps only if you try. (I have actually started buying toothpastes that have a flip flop instead of a removable cap to avoid such situations)
3. Remaining on the topic of toothpastes, please note that the toothpaste needs to be pushed from it's rear end.
4. It is not necessary that the bathroom mirror be splashed with water.
5. Everyday while going to work you will wear only one shirt. Therefore please refrain from piling all your shirts outside the cupboard to choose your "the one" shirt if you do not intend to put them back yourself.
6. The tie hanger is the place where all your ties HAVE to be hanged.
7. Brushing your hair with my hairbrush after you have freshly applied loads of gel will not only spoil my hair but also my mood.
8. Admit it - you snore.
9. No matter how hard you try to convince me that wrestling is a watchable sport, i will always think of it as a "made up brainless full faltu no entertainment".
10. I love you a lot and always will.

I think some bits of me are dying
There is nothing much to do for a housewife living with the in laws. The mother in law is the Queen of the house which translates into the fact that most if not all the things are under her control. The housewife a.k.a the bahu is the princess with limited powers.
The best thing to do is sleep. Yes sleep. Sleep till 11 in the morning; ofcourse after the princess has tended to the princess and set him off to conquer the office duties. The queen is very happy with this setting as she gets the whole morning to shout out her orders and make hour long telephone calls which are never made when the princess is around. What is the princess also starts to do the same i guess is the philosphy. Or MAYBE (notice the caps - yes they are intentional) I am so messed up in the head that i cnt even admit that someone is being nic and letting me rest. My own mom would have kicked me out the house if I ever slept for so long , even on weekends with me studying and / or working long hours. It is because of this up bringing that i hate sleeping.
Yes sleep your heart out. Sleep your mind out. Why? Because there isnt any freaking thing to do!!!
It's killing me. I am not the till 11oclock sleeping beauty. Am not. The alternative is to get up, say prayers and then read. But that too gets boring.
And hence some bits if me are dying. i dnt know which bits. But i am very sure some.
did i just give the impression that i dnt do anything? if i did i think it's because the things that i do "do" at home are of no - "zero" significance to me. I mean cooking - Max 1 hour and that too of i am making more than 1 dish. I do stuff which others try to make me feel is important but inside me i feel its.......crap! Not that i cook like crap. Food i cook is delicious. If u dnt belive me you will have to how much weight hubby has put on.!!
I miss my work. The projects, the deadlines, the tension, the emails, the meetings!! The competition!!!
I love the getting no sleep and having meeting in the morning. I love how tea tastes when you really need it to wake you up for the presentation.
I dnt want to die. I dnt want any bit of me to die.

You are being missed!
You know when I used to watch Indian movies and the scenes where the husband is leaving town and the mrs is all weepy; used to crack me up. What's the big deal.....so he is going for 2 or 3 days. There is so much one could do when the hubby is away and you have all the time just to yourself. How about that shopping spree to the downtown market which would have been impossible with him around or how about attending the art exhibition where you know you wouldn't have gone as he would be bored. Get a life Mrs...!!!
All this was relevent till my hubby happened to leave town for 3 days. Yes just 3 days. Not a week, not four days but simply 3 days. And i was like perfectly fine till he actually left for the airport. MAYBE it's because i am no longer working that i am able to understand or feel what the movies showed.
I am acting like a teen again. I sms him after every minute. I talk to him more than i did when he was here. I am already planning a big dinner; all cooked by myself on his return. And i think i have told him a dozen times that this was the first and the last time he veer went anywhere without me.
I think i am in love. (Blush - BLUSH)

ADJUSTMENTS
Sometimes such events take place in our life which our not part of our plan. Ever since we can, we start knitting up a network of needs, wants, acheivenments, dreams - more or less a lifestyle we want to acheive and follow through our life. We learn and make amendments for betterment of our dream lifestyle. And sometimes we make "adjustments" aka "compromises". These seem to be essential. But these adjustments and compromises disturb the network of our dream lifestyle.
I hate compromises though i am the best when it comes to them. Making adjustments or compromises runs in my blood i guess and i wouldn't have had a problem with it till it dawned on me that people take advantage of the fact that u are a soft person. they run all over you and rub in their heels to make sure that a mark is left.
What is one to do in such a situation? WHAT???

Life---what will it give?
Life---what will it give?
What lies after every turning taken.
What is tomorrow going to bring.
What do I have today.
What is mine to keep.
What is it that I have to let go.
Will I b able to let go.
Will I, one day look back at all this and laugh??
What difference does it make whether I do or do not.with every passing day things are becoming so vivid.
What m I learning today.
Where m I going,
What I m gaining,
What m I losing.
Is the gain equal to the loss?
How much do I have to change.
How much more do I have to learn about life—the hard way?
Will I be something, someone—tomorrow?
Does my existance make a difference now—will it make a difference tomorrow.
Who is gonna be mine.
Whoes m I gona be.
What does the future hold for me.
Will the happiness I cherish, the dreams I dream— the plans—what will happen to them.
Will I dance the rythem divine?
