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...

Zoozoozoo : A journey

 Today is Sunday ,  May 1st 2022 and yesterday i was invited to my daughter's school to witness a small function.  My daughter Suhani was born in 2007 and the day clearly flashes in front of my eyes when she got on to the auditorium stage for her first annual function during her LKG class . I had dressed her up in a beautiful purple frock . The auditorium echoed  with the sounds of claps as the team LKG stepped on to the stage and took their positions as couples . Their teacher had blushed  everyone's cheeks pink and golden. The song started 'Zoozoozoo......we welcome you ......' and the kiddos started twisting their hips and legs holding on to their partners . Awww...it was such an adorable performance that a mother couldn't control her tears .  Watching some  kids who forgot their dance steps and wanted to just run here and there on the stage was fun too !  Yesterday was the day when she again marched  on to the auditorium,  this time ...

Test Yourself with 10 Random questions

It's good to analyze yourself to  know about your positive points as well your limitations So why not take a random  test today ?   Here are some questions which you should try to answer to yourself only and i request you to do it mindfully. 1. How are you feeling today ? Energetic , Stagnant or bored ? 2. Right now , are you thinking about today , yesterday or tomorrow ?  Remember today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday . Yesterday is gone . That was past . Learn from your past but don't let the past disturb you in the present or hinder your growth in the future . 3. In the past few days did you talk something good about yourself ? Daily you talk a lot about others but do you talk about yourself too ? Sometimes we  have a tendency not to boast or talk good about ourselves even when we have accomplished something . The way you talk about yourself makes an impact. Always speak  empowering words about yourself, "Whenever you think of beautiful ...
