My Garden

I have a new hobby now, Gardening. I was always interested but never found enough time to tnd the plants and water them everyday. Now that both my kids are going to school, I thought I should work on this hobby now. I planted soe flowering plants, for the daily puja, and some veggies for the kitchen like Palak and Curry Leaf. That's about my modest Garden. I kept it simple this time, I would expand the garden depending on space and sunlight.

Motherhood..keyword is when?

Some women in India are choosing to store their ova in liquid nitrogen (for safekeeping up to 40 years) so that they need not forego their employment/career to raise children during key phases of their career.
They can freeze ova but not themselves... age catches up ..

Any pregnancy conceived after 35 is termed a high risk pregnancy by doctors.. and taken utmost care. The incidence of twins or triplets is high in mothers aged 35 + ( which also adds to high risk factor).There are ideas and then there are practical ideas.. In my opinion this idea of freezing ova is not a practical one applicable to the larger population.At 40 it has to be an assisted pregnancy,and not everyone can 'afford' the costly procedure involved.
Its always better to take the help of nature... these jobs, the material comforts .. the career notions are all man made... remove these filters from the eyes and anyone can see the right picture.
What we actually need is two or three year break in career, if companies help us by allowing unpaid break, that's sufficient... what is more precious ? the work? or health ?
Traditionally, companies have framed rules in corporate scenario to suit the male employee.Any woman if she wants to work has to mould herself into male domain. When man and woman are different by nature( physically) , does it not mean they need different rules when it comes to the point of conception and kids (by female employees ) ? The moment a working woman makes a choice about her kids, she is put in a quandary where she has to choose between career and kids ( or one of the things suffer)
since there are no existing rules allowing the above.. so, i took my break.. but many are forgoing health in order to work , don't know when this will change?

Sunday is a Holiday

Its common knowledge that Sunday is a holiday...whether you are a student or an employee or whatever.. but what about homemakers ? They dont get a single day off in their lives unless they are on a vacation..
but I'm lucky that my hubby is sensitive to my needs and ..(touchwood ). Seeing that I was feeling a little dull today he offered to cook for me and boy.. need I say I was delighted.
So he set off with his new role and I relaxed for a while. Which made me realise all the more that everyone needs that little time in life to rejuvenate oneself. Sometimes we lose ourselves in the daily routine and the numerous mundane things that we lose focus. I decided to make the most of the break that I got and set off doing things I was postponing since long.
And then it was lunch time and I should admit I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that he has done a pretty decent job. Though he doesnt hijack the kitchen too often, he managed to cook the daily must haves Rice, Dal and Curry pretty well. I gorged myself to satisfaction knowing fully well and appreciating the fact that everyday is not a sunday..especially this Sunday.

My first post...

Hello ..
I have been thinking of blogging for quite some time now .. but I really am trying to find what kept me from actually doing so.. Is it that I am a homemaker and a busy parent of two toddlers? or the fact that my hubby has been away working in another city ?.. really dont know ..but then I have realised I need to express myself in order to keep my sanity in the absence of the constant companionship of my dearest hubby...
So here I am.. this is a peek into my Inner Space .. an expression of my spirit.. a virtual body to my real being...
