HUNGRY OR HELPLESS

Today as I was washing clothes and wrapping up cooking, I got really bugged with all this household chores and being stuck with it. Had some cleaning at home to do as well and that really got unnerving. Why the hell am I doing all of this? Wasn’t this my choice? No one is asking you to do this? You surely can get a maid to do all of this….This is boring and tedious. Do I need to do this? Why am I not outside visiting a place or partying or eating out?


Well then I kinda calmed down and said to myself - ''Listen dude, you have been out of town for 2 days and having gotten back, what you are doing is just getting the house in order. Food is anyways priority for you and so is getting your clothes ready for the week ahead. You have been cooking for a while now and you like it. So don’t get ruffled by small things and stop getting flustered by little things. Take a step back and relax dude''.

It was only after the first few morsels of lunch went in that I was actually back to my cool relaxed self. Guess food did the trick. HOME MADE SIMPLE DELICIOUS FOOD!!!! should I stress here (ahem!!). Suddenly also recollected my dad’s ever-wise words that one gets upset/angry only when two things happen – one, when you are hungry or when you are helpless. Nice one Pa!! It was the first one in my case surely.


There are times this happens to me….not a good thing. I need to take a deep breath, relax and regain my composure.

Coming back, I then followed it up with a weekly grocery shopping and a nice walk in the neighborhood. This relaxed me totally and now back settling into a lazy Sunday evening and awaiting the Monday blues.

Ok then!! Here goes my short next post…its out on my blog and out of my system.
