God! I can be so stupid!

There are lots of stupid things I do and I don't want to be so dumb as to post any and every comic thing I do. Some things are better kept under the wraps. Actually I do such things when I think there is some logic to it.



Today I have done something that most people in this world wouldn't do. Yogesh will remind me once again that 'Tula duniyadari cha samaj nahi!' (You do not know the ways of the world.) I can't tell you this today 'cause he reads this post and will definitely ask me questions.

More to come...

Holi and Woman's Day 2012

I’m feeling like writing something in detail, but there are so many topics. So I’ll just write about them here in short.

• Driving to office 


• Came to office alone today on my bike after many months. I’ve gotten used to Yogesh driving. I just sit behind doing nothing but watch the houses and streets go by. I’ve also gotten used to his company all the way for the 1 hour drive. Plus I am a lazy person when it comes to driving. I had tried emotional blackmail with him in the morning for dropping me here, but it didn’t work. He’s getting good. Well, missed him.  



• Streets were bare today on account of a holiday for Holi. It felt good to drive when I started. I remembered that this was how driving in Pune used to be about 6 years back when I first begun driving. Actually I liked driving today. Felt independent once again. I know that tomorrow I wouldn’t want to drive. A woman’s mind can be so complicated!  



• Elections have given Pune smooth & silky roads. Rains will again change them to a more familiar sight. Wondering why roads cannot last more than a few months. Yes, politics and strategy by road contractors is the reason.



• Not too much pollution on roads today. Government should give more such holidays for the environment.
• Not being at home


• I’m missing Arya and know that Yogesh must be enjoying his company. Jealous? You bet. I hate the days when Yogesh has a holiday and I don't! Sincerely. I’m not a hopeless romantic, but I just feel good to be home when everyone is home. Saturdays, he goes to work and I’m home – it’s not the same.
• Women's day today


• It is women’s day today and I am feeling something for the first time. Pride, Solidarity, Appreciation, Respect – a little of each. Earlier I used to feel that people have just hyped the concept. Today after a marriage and a baby and a job, I think differently. Someone has written to us – “Many of you manage a tough balancing act between your personal and professional lives and I am aware that there would have been times when you had to make personal sacrifices and trade precious moments for guilt.” Very thoughtful.



• Yogesh hasn’t wished me yet. He forgot about mother’s day too last year, when it was my first!



• HR person on the floor is planning some event for women’s day today. Company is also planning something different.
• Holi today and Shimga!


• Missing my lunch and breakfast friends in office. No one to chitchat with me on our internal messenger. I’ll have to search some company for lunch.



• Today, people in my society "CasaPoli, Wakad" are playing colors in the club house. I don’t play colors but enjoy watching people play.



• I got a pichkari for Arya for Holi. Since he cannot hold a water gun in his hand, I got a cute Spiderman water-toy for him. It is a small plastic toy where you can fill water from his head, and press a black button on his stomach. When you press the button, the Spiderman pees on your face! A water jet! Arya was so happy to see Spidey pee! He began pressing that guy’s stomach again and again. It was fun. And we fooled Maushi too – asking her to press the button!



• Arya saw Holika Dahan yesterday. Saw that there are lots of sweet children in the building. Women are bonding with neighbors. Unfortunately I haven’t gotten to speak to many women due to my office hours and baby care. Well, someday I will.
