Well, I am a... nope was a serious person myself until a few days back when this seriously affected me. L. Gosh..that’s when I decided to call this a symptom or disease rather than a shade of character. Yeah, this was another day week day. And yeah I was feeling weaker than usual. Oh yeah! I got my ‘C’. Well that is the routine each month for girls as me. Awww..As always when the hormones interplay I get weird and silly. Silly-You know that s when I get too serious for the not so serious issue!
Well I am a 28 year old software professional. My husband lives in another city and my family is quite conservative. Thanks to my work and my frequent trips home. Part of the conservativeness I imbibed and the rest.. well I managed to escape. This time- Nope!. so, as usual as my bodies ached I woke up telling my little heart that it is fine. I started the day1 washing my clothes and bed cover,washing my hair and rushing to office. On day2, I was a little relieved; I slept on the floor, so washing was out of scopeJ. I bathed , wore a well pressed salwar and rushed downstairs. My MIL welcomed me with her trademark smile ( I definetley appreciate her spirit). She was definitely more energetic than me! Now is when she spotted my hair braided and my ever sweet MIL turned serious. She asked me why I dint wash my hair. LO! I FORGOT. I actually did! She turned red , serious. I NEVER knew endocrine system functioned so fast. She said that girls were notorious, bad,that they did not value systems at home,that my mom should have taught me.Finally -I was a sinner and that my kids would carry the sin.
That was when I broke. I controlled my tears and rushed to the bus. This for me was trivial , for her a serious crime. I cursed myself and rushed to work. I wanted someone to say you are right. I yelled at mom when she called me morning or not teaching me the essentials and my sis for being lazy. Yeah I turned crazy almost. The climax was when I told this to my husband , he told me go to a salon, trim my hair a little so that they would wash it for me!! GODS!..I sat at the lobby feeling defeated. That was when my friend offered me a hi fi and a Cadbury Five Star. I ATE THE chocolate THINKING ONLY ABOUT IT AND God I felt relieved (May be the chocolate effect. I was a choco-lover).People are crazily crazy. That’s when I realized ..i was affected too. I became quite serious unwantedly and I created quite a bizarre too!
If only I had the chocolate to cool my head and pause my thoughts my feelings would have vaporized an my streak of kajal would have remained perfect.
