Life Style....

"Oh My God, I am feeling very tired today, can we eat outside? or can we just use frozen parataas?"... "Remind me to buy frozen mixed veg pack this time" ... these have become part of my day to day life recent days.

Was speaking to my mother the other day, she was telling about her chores of the day(it was a Sunday)... cooking, cleaning, washing...and list goes on. The same thing i am doing every weekend but still there is so much to complain about for me. I blame the food here for my extra pounds [err.. yeah kgs :D], i blame the responsibilities as my extra work here. But lying on a cozy bed, typing out this blog... makes me realize there is nothing to blame but my laziness.

Back in home town , days filled with lots of activities ... manual house hold chores played the major role... but here... life has become so sophisticated that we make use of technology for everything Initially, when i came here i seldom used dish washer, concerned about wasting resources and water bill.. Hah there i go Ms. Principle! But as days passed on, i found it comfortable just closing the dish washer door with vessels in it, there by shutting down the echoing thoughts of "conserve resources”.

Few days back, my mixer grinder stopped working... when i told this to Raj, he teased me to use stone grinder of olden days. Surprisingly my father also said the same. Though for me i felt the world has doomed. But later i thought how life had been during the days we used stone grinder, we had time for everything then ... but now as technology grows, time seems to be reduced... i find it impossible to do things at leisure. This intrigues me a lot, time is the same at any place [well, now i m not encouraging any Einstein's ideas here]i still have 24 hrs a day... nothing changed . But why do i feel that there is always some pending work? When i observed my lifestyle for the past few days, i realized how much time i m spending just doing nothing. It is not that i don't have time; i am not using it properly. Basically cozy life style that prevents me doing anything but resting... . May be life has become simpler, and why to complicate things in the name of “Traditional Way”.

Watching TV, sleeping late and waking up late. Every day no time to enjoy the morning hours... rush. go to office...work .. As soon as the clock turns 5.30 getting restless to reach home faster. Weekends, well, I would say the best part is meeting friends… and bad part is meeting them in the nights and spoiling the weekend days in sleep. Yet this is the new lifestyle and I got to adapt to it. Roman in Rome, eh!

But you know once in a while I do realize that I m not working on these but simply whining. As the effect of this awakening, I do plan any evening to do lots of so-called pending things... ironing clothes, cleaning kitchen, cooking some proper food, calling some relatives...And then once i reached home...i think aloud "oh my God i feel tired today.. Can we eat outside…
