"Time is indeed precious"!!

Once again back after ages....all these weeks I have been writing so many different posts in my head...seriously...about so many different things...but this post is on an impulse which probably is the whole point of blogging ! one doesnt think n ponder n rethink....one simply blogs !

Frankly I always wanted time for myself my whole life...I mean I think the only reason I used to take up so much time in the bathroom was that nobody could ever question that time and I had it all to myself ! Now with a baby I keep wondering how I will ever manage to do stuff I want to do(when I feel like it)when I do not have helpful grandmas and grandpas around ! I was so full of confidence ealier...how I am going to take care of my baby ALLL by myself...how I will never allow anyone else to be burdened etc. etc...how I will sow good habits in the baby and hence have time for everything....exercise,cooking,reading,studying,sleeping....the neat timetable goes on !! as usual all my glorious resolutions and the all important timetable have flown right out of the window and landed on that amazingly high mountain of thrown-away resolutions !! It is only slightly higher thant the mountain of thrown-away timetables ! Seriuosly I always aloved making timetables...ALL the time...htey would always be perfect...reality of course was well...

Having time to oneself is such a lovely privilege and I am ashamed to say I always squandered most of it away... Now I have finally learned to appreciate that time but at the same time, I probably didnt need so much of me-time in the first place...this is the perfect way to make those hours and days count I guess...a baby is the one person/power which can put so many things in perspective...and each hour is important and precious !

The funny thing is despite not having enough time for anything, I am already missing this time that I am spending with my baby... now this sounds really cliched and soppy and filmi but this time and age will never come again and I so wish I wouldnt be so cranky and savour the moments before the lil baby grows up into a big baby !

Strangely enough I always thought time being precious had something to do with studying and revising before exams, cramming in fast forward mode, completing exams in scratchy handwriting , submitting applications before the due date and so on...:)

so long...

Finally...!

Ok...I won't even bother trying 2 explain why I didnt touch this lil kingdom of mine 4 soooooo long...Today being My Day, I have decided to list out this long list of things I truly, badly, desperately, sincerely want 2 do asap...Here goes...
Aamaar bhish-lisht :)
1) Run across a lawn - I ve no idea why I have this increasing urge to simply run across a lawn...not race...preferably play catcher-catcher
2) Drink a can of Pepsi
3) Run up stairs two at a time (like I normally do)
4) Rush off to the place on top of the hill in my village at top speed(coz I m late as usual !)
5)Meet S and P...go 4 a movie...have fun....take a long walk n talk talk and talk till our jaws hurt...
6) Go 4 a picnic...somewhere...anywhere...with anyone...
7) Read random books lying on my tummy/side/back/as I please
8) Sit on the floor and go through old, old, ooold notebooks...or crads...or letters...or generally stuff hidden away for a long time...
9) Try draping a sari in different styles and pose in front of the mirror ;)
10) Go to a nice, clean beach and spend the day getting wet and collecting shells and generally behaving like a heroine :)
11) Drive a car at top speed :) preferably with goggles on and my kind of music playing...
12) Compete in a quiz with at least 14 rounds...and win obviously !
