Where to from here?

I have been at my current workplace ever since Oct 2000. With the constant juggling of trying to strike a balance, what I now know is enough to tell my kids to change jobs every 4 years. The rest of the wisdom may or may not be applicable to them.
 
What I learnt for myself is:
  • Don't ever get comfortable being in one place unless that's where you want to be till you retire.
  • Make a conscious decision to pursue what you want and learn to live with the consequences of your choice.
  • Making friends through life helps. A LOT! At work too, you need friends to get you through those rough phases and of course to enjoy those good moments too.
  • Follow your heart. But make sure your head is in the right place before you let your heart take the reins.
  • Make your own mistakes. Don't make mine or someone else's. If you do happen to do so, well I told you so. Now you know! (Typical immature selfish me speaking here!)
  • Do what you love to do and make it pay for you.
  • Most of all, be you. No one can take you away from you unless you let them. Change for the better always.
(Blogging is not a remedy for chasing drowsiness away).

Flawed being

Here I was thinking I suck at handling multiple roles thrust on me. I shouldn't 'crib'. That it was 'going to be ok' and everything would 'be better'. The kind of (non) support from KA made me believe that I'm never going to get it right. But when the same is thrust on that person, the reactions are almost the same as mine, only they are voiced out, loudly. And it's hardly 3 months into handling a few things solo. There are various ways I could help. I choose not to.   I was flawed anyway.

Time to re-learn

I'm pregnant again. Came to know about it on 14th March, the day after Joel's Annual School Day. It took about that whole evening and night for the realisation to sink in. With this realisation, came the understanding of why I was feeling exhausted by the end of a day, and why I had headaches so frequently. First person to know this time was BV. Then  Sangi. Then called Amrith and told him. Broke the news to my parents next morning and later on to Vivek. Over the past few days have informed a few colleagues at work and most of my friends. Of all reactions I received when breaking the news of this pregnancy, I liked Sangi's the best. My two worries this time are weight and sugar. Have decided that this time I'm not going to be a lazy mom. Since I'm staying with dad and mom, I'm using this opportunity to walk every night around the house. Feeling good about it. I'm going veggie again as I did with Joel. And, this time I have a whole bunch of cravings and wi...
