Is Grumpiness part of life ?

Country is locked down and so am I within few square feet of space. After the routine tasks of mopping , dishing , laundry , cooking , sanitizing the nooks and corners of my home , I lighted  a diya in my little temple and then sat with my laptop along with  TV switched on   . I scrolled through various channels ,with most of them showing the Corona news and the lookout for Maulana . The rising number of cases in the various states brought me fear and stress .

I wanted to write my next post for the blogging challenge but nothing came in my mind . I distracted myself by picking a book to read but couldn’t enjoy it . I didn’t even feel like making rice for my daughter in the lunch . Thankfully she is big enough to make it on her own .

The previous night’s dream also kept scaring me till evening . Scientists were making arrangements for sending me in space for their next satellite mission . I was so frightened and kept refusing but they were continually persuading  me . They even got a contract letter  signed from me and gave me another duty letter to be given at my workplace that I would be under training for next few months . One of them shouted to ask ‘Where is the gas bill ?’ I got confused at the question and didn’t reply . But then he jolted me ‘Where is the gas bill yaar , come on get up.’ Oh gosh ! It was then I realized i was dreaming and hubby was asking for the bill .

Tossing  zig-zag in my bed , I watched TV for few hours thoughtlessly . I don’t know Why but I just didn’t feel like doing anything . I once again tried to cheer myself up by writing ‘Cheer Up’ on paper but back at my mind I wanted to ‘Do nothing’

I was thinking to write my G post on ‘Growth’ or ‘Goals’ but my body and mind were not cooperating you know . I had started feeling low and grumpy  by evening . Lying for hours in bed had stressed my spine too .  My daughter asked me to play with her but I said a harsh NO . When I asked her to make me tea she replied with  a harsh NO . Murmuring , I had to make it myself .

Grumpiness was stressing me out .

When I went to the kitchen i saw rice littered  here and there as kiddo had made rice in the lunch . Oh Gosh ! Aaj ka din hi khraaab hai  , so were the words which came muttering out .

After tea , I was back in my bed , just scrolling my fingers  on  phone . My body didn’t feel normal .It was warmer and when i checked ,the thermometer showed 99.5 . I quickly messaged my hubby and he asked -Are you feeling problem while breathing also? Please quarantine yourself  .

That fired up  my  grumpiness .

I may feel like doing Nothing at times , I may feel grumpy at times but It’s OK . I  embrace my grumpiness .

I read someone’s blog where she talked of ‘Free Write’ . Having  loved the idea , I  thought of free writing today . So I penned  my  thoughts the way they just flew out of my heart .

A letter to my Kitchen

 Being a woman i also spend lot of time in my kitchen whether full heartedly , half heartedly or not at all heartedly . But in any case i have to go in my kitchen off and on . Today I feel like writing a letter to my kitchen. Dear Kitchen    Hope you are living a fulfilling life with all your jars filled to the brim with wheat , rice , pulses , sugar , tea ,coffee and cookies . I also hope that your sinks are now empty and clean unlike the last month when maid was on leave . Those days ,your sinks used to be piled up with utensils and it stinked so badly .  Dear kitchen , it's been around seventeen years that i am taking care of you . Now you are grown up as a teenager and so you should learn to be responsible and maintain your hygiene .  It feels good when my family agrees on khichdi and your cooker does the job   in  just one whistle . But you just don't cooperate when they demand Chole Bhature and you also start giving me tantrums . Remember ho...

Uplift your mood

 My evening today was not good . I was doing all domestic chores in a  burdened way. I tried watching some  movie but it couldn't interest me . One of my colleagues called to intimate me of  some upcoming duty. That further pressurized my bad  mood . I wore my shoes , put on my headphones and got ready for a walk . After walking for around half an hour and listening to old bollywood , my feet took me towards the splash pool where children were enjoying . I removed my shoes and sat there at the edge of the pool dipping my feet into the water. Watching me , one of my friends also came and sat along . Both of us sat for quite  long on the edge of pool - chatting and dabbling our toes in the water. This cooled my mind and uplifted my mood .  You need to find  your own ways to uplift your mood as and when required . Music , Dance ,Good food , Laughing , shopping ,picnic ,  playing any sport you like , painting , talking to someone , chanting a man...

I am getting Older day by day

 I have stopped spending too much money on clothing or accessories......... I have stopped thinking too much about pleasing others....... I have stopped looking daily into the mirror ....... I have stopped cooking those time consuming delicious meals for my family ...... TV doesn't excite me as much now ....... My fingers can't scroll for long on facebook....... I don't feel like keeping longer nails - file or paint them....... Am i getting older day by day ? Travelling, Cycling or small get-togethers; I love to spend money and time  on experiences now...... Only the fitness goals push me to  look into the mirror ..... I am able to overlook others' reactions when it comes to listen to my heart.  I recently denied a loved one's advice because my heart was unable to  accept it..... I cry easily now when i relate to someone's emotions , even watching a movie ...... Am i getting older day by day ?  or  Am i getting freer day by day ?  I wish to be dre...
