Ever wondered why we always look forward to that amazing weekend right from Monday and when it actually arrives we tire ourselves cleaning swapping, rushing to the dry cleaners, the tailor, the designer, provision shopping OMG the list is endless !
Today was one such Sunday when suddenly the day began a bit too early and almost everything on my To Do list was actually nearing the Finish line !
Enjoyed my chotta sa afternoon siesta…..and then my hot cup of coffee…..
Uske baadh ?
Shopping ??? Nahin….
Gappe shape ?? Naah
Well the remote as always came to my rescue and naa chahthe bhi watched one of those flicks for which I would have never ever wasted my money !!!
And suddenly my teenager beti decided to shift from her room to our bedroom with her lap top of course and then hubby too followed…so within the confines of a 15 / 12 sq ft room the family decided to do their work on their respective lap tops with of course the Idiot box providing the commercial breaks now and then !
Within the next couple of hrs…snacks happened…some nice music which was discussed…jokes cracked amidst of course those important phone calls and not to forget the constant tapping on the lap top!!!
Dinner time someone reminded and sachets of soup and some bread n jam came to the rescue…lekin wahi 15/ 12 sq ft room mein…..
Happy to be just together in a room I thought…kyonki nahin hai aadath humein kuch naa karne ki…
But just decided that this is going to be my favourite aadath from now on……
Jai Maa ji! I enjoyed reading the first post. You are blessed to have had the gift of that beautiful Sunday you describe

How true Janaki.. you have described a very normal day in the lives of most people, but your writing has made it so much more interesting and serves as a reminder that just being together as a family even as we are doing our 'own' thing can be something to be cherished.. It used to be said 'A family that eats together stays together'.. You have shown that just being there in the same room is to be valued in these busy times. Keep it up. Hope to read many more such musings.. throughout this year.
ReplyDeleteHi Jeenu . Happy New year .. and we went thru some similar feelings of bonding some months ago when portions of our house was getting renovated. We for weeks ate quick fix dinners, ate on a mat spread out in our bedroom, worked in the bedroom after throwing the disposables in the trash and even retired some days in the same room!

While affluence does give us multiple laptops and different rooms - nothing can replace spending time with loved ones. With the EB upping its rates - we've decided to use just one AC - and believe me - it's fun - all of us piling into one room and each doing their thing!
