A Beautiful Morning

It was a beautiful morning today... As usual my morning started with me cooking food for my family, which now includes a task of mashing everything so that my boy can chew it easily and swallow. After my son left for school, I decided to spend some time in the balcony, sit on the grass though its artificial and just watch outside while listening to some music. And it resulted in me doing a full fledged stretching surrounded by nature around me. 

Yesterday I shifted the 6 big bricks to the terrace 3 floors up. And then with the help of Dinu shifted the granite piece lying in the backside of the house. I cleaned the terrace and arranged the bricks and granite slab in the center of it. The purpose is so one can sit there from time to time, soak in the sunrays, relax on a calm windy day. It was beautiful in the evening, lying down and observe the sky, the birds flying around, many gliding in the wind giving the sky an amazing beauty. Even the half moon in an early eveing sky looked so beautiful. It felt wonderful looking at everything straight up without lifting your chin. 

If the mosquitoes wouldn't have been there then I would have slept on the roof. Have to find a way to achieve that. Reminds me of my time in my native and in my village where we used to sleep on the terrace on Summers.

Anyways, after my husband returned from school, showered and left for office, I went upstairs and lied down on the granite piece and soaked in the shadowy sunrays. It wasn't harsh sun, yet it was so bright, looking straight up at the sky was impossible. So, I just closed my eyes and listened to all the sounds around me. Well, can't spend the whole day there, who would do the chores then?? Had my lunch and took a nap. When my son returned, made him coffee and sweetpotato chops. And dropped him for his badminton coaching. Husband picked him up after he returned from office. 

It was raining in batches through out the day today. Took few pics and videos while it was raining. It was serene. The parrots were sitting on high trees taking bath in the gentle shower. And then again I was busy with the chores again. No study time today, no reading books. 

Well, I have made some food preparations for tomorrow, so the work would be a little easy. All dishes sparkling clean too. Son's request is already there to make him some aaloo bhujia. Well, it would be experiment time for me. Wish me luck.

And I would be going to sleep in sometime from now. Just felt like writing while listening to the piano pieces by Austin Farwell. 

Good Night...

The ungrateful ones

You know what amazes me is that there are so many people who take ideas from you and then show off to you and others as if they were theirs from the beginning... They take guidance from me and then after few days forget that they took it from me. Later when we discuss something, they say the same ideas to me and show off so proudly that they know it. "Hey, you know what? I had this problem and I tried this approach and I was successfully help myself out. You should also try it out. It's a great solution!"

Earlier I used to just think "Oh! so this person forgot that I only gave these thoughts and ideas to her and she forgot". Now-a-days in my mind I say, "Girl! You asked me for these ideas and suggestions few months back. Did you forget from whom you got those ideas that so proudly say are yours?" or "Hey! I only gave that suggestion". But I could say it only in one occasion, to only one person and then the person realised, "Oh right! You only gave the idea." And it made me feel worse. I thought, why did I say it aloud.

Their behaviours sure discourages me to share me knowledge with anyone.

I feel so disgusted at myself sometime. It's like I decide I am not gonna give them any help for their troubles. However, when they again start tell me about some other problem, I'm unable to resist helping them. 

My husband says, "You can never do that. You always say you are not going help these show offs any more, but then next time they will come again you won't be able to stop helping them. Later on they will forget that and show off to you that these kind of problems have these solutions. And you will again be upset and sad. All those sadness you will take out on Me." 

I just don't feel like talking to them. I wonder always how can people forget from whom they took the help and show off to the same person. 

Well, it's not that everyone does that. I have some really gentle ladies who still remember all the guidance then took from me and give proper credit to me. They say their thanks to my face and that surely makes me feel so happy.

Ah! I wish I could express myself properly, in cunning ways so people couldn't forget from whom the received those wise words.

hmm...

Anyways!
