Presuming you would say yes or have a big yes nod, when I ask you for permission for talking about my everyday life...... I wish to go ahead anyways and talk about the highlights of my day esp. yesterday....
WEDNESDAY ------------
You are fasting ( no food, only fruits and dairy products)
Your daughter demands for chole ( chick peas curry ) and pulav ( veggie fried rice ) for school lunch. Wake up at 6:30 a.m and have everything ready before 8.
chole- check
pulav- check
fruits- check
All check but the aroma of all this cooking is giving me hunger pangs.....:(
still keeping my calmWhatever..............................
Husband stays home- fabulous, but using your laptop
for work- not so fabulous....The I Pad has to become your BFF for the day.
Mid-day your internet stops working- not happening at all !Life seems to have come to an end....
After all failed efforts to fix the Internet problem, husband decides to work from his remote office, takes the laptop with him. So you are now left with no laptop, no internet, no husband and above all no food.
You decide to put your time away from technology to good use. You pull out the DSLR to take shots of the clothing to be soon listed for sale on EBAY, your camera smiles back at you flashing------------------------------->
Buoy, oh buoy, you left it in the laptop...!
You pull your hair, knock your head against the wall (all pun intended ), then revive your senses and get your smartphone to take the pics. Guess what ??????? Battery almost dead.You plug-in the charger, no beep, no improved signal....You flip you flop and then a light bulb lights- moron.....it's your hubby's phone charger, he took yours.....bam !!!! suddenly the smartphone appears not so smart and obsolete.
Whatsoever, you run to check and make sure the home phone is working, which now would be the only communication source and guess again.............you get the shock of your life....no phone coz it's an internet phone...no internet=no phone. .
No food, no internet, no laptop, no DSLR, no smart phone, no home phone---you still keep your calm and choose to make peace with the TV- well, with the KARDASHIANS .
Daughter wakes up after a brief nap, requests for some TV time. She wants Caillou on the Netflix, but no internet means no Netflix. She has a melodramatic meltdown after all my failed efforts at explaining to her. Suddenly the building fire alarm goes on----what the f*** ????? you certainly don't need thiiiissssss after all the day's drama....1min, 2mins, 3mins.....exactly 6 mins. later the alarm goes off..FALSE ALARM ......yeah TRING ????
After another attempt at distracting daughter, we agree to head out to pick up a package from an online order... you think this will be the star of the day but all in vain....you open the package just to realize that a part of the order is missing......BAM !! Suddenly this becomes the villain in your life. You call the customer service immediately using the last saved up cell charge.....no reply no reply ...phone answered- maa'm you will get the rest of your order by friday...at this you feel like you don't need it anymore..just kidding !
You look at the time - 5:50 p.m, 60 minutes to dinner ....you take a peek into the fridge, greens- check, egg for scrambling- check =, frozen roti- check...daughter's dinner ready as husband is eating out. Smooth execution.... you feel happy YAY !
You hear a knock at the door, a neighbor friend has stopped by to say hello...she turns out to be my God send . Takes daughter away to her house, you get an hour's time off. ALL HAPPY !!You sit back to ponder the day and realize/conclude that ..............
