•Communication is very, very important. DO NOT ASSUME others know what I am talking about. It does not matter if telling all the details makes the other person feel retarded (which is what I assume), give all the details!! AND ASK QUESTIONS!!
•Sometimes, however tempting it is to correct, not just my children but my parents or Eswar, I have to let go, all of us have to learn some things the hard way.
•However, I do suffer with them. I feel their pain and sometimes more, theirs and mine, rising out of the helplessness I feel.
•And these are the times, I also think we are very selfish to have children
•Sometimes I wonder if I have the strength to sit through and just watch helplessly as life teaches its lessons the tough way to my little one.
•Why do we think that if we struggle and work hard today, our tomorrows will be better? And we are all ready to ruin our todays for our un-seeable future. Amazing, the way we think and rationalize!
As usual, all this gyan is from the countless things going on in our lives right now.
•Mummy is here until June, which is the only thing that is keeping me sane sometimes.
•Krish is going 3 days to school as I am taking two classes this semester. And this is where I learnt my lesson – my not communicating properly has led to a whole bunch of confusion about the days he needs to go.
•I am planning on taking the qualifying exam in June
•Eswar needs to get his visa stamped. After which, I am planning to go to Canada to get my visa stamped. All this before June and hoping things go smoothly in that front.
•Planning to go to India in June for the little fella’s mundan and daddy’s birthday.
Sometimes all I want is to lead a simple, minimalistic life. I realize that if my life is complicated, it is because of the choices I have made in my life, but I feel helpless to let go of things which at some level I think are important and are part of my identity – my job and my education. Maybe someday, I will have the courage to just let go and do the things I really want to do – have 3 kids, live in a farm and home school them:)
