I Do______________________________________
Well well… Mr.Spider Shhhh….
Few days away and you claim possession in my blog… Phew!!!
Ok … now it’s been 2
months here in US… already feels like a year to me… So many twists and turns in
such a short span of time can only happen firstly in Ekta Kapoor movies and
second mine… ok ok… I know I am exaggerating it way too much… as always… But
trust me… life has taken a 360 degree turn…. Ok ok…. 180 degrees as if we talk
of 360 degrees I am back to the same position right… oh my god… the techie in
me just got alive and killed the writer inside… lol… bhavnaao ko samjho when I say
360 degrees…
To a stupid girl like me…
who had started a social service out of her life after working in IT and given
all her time…. All her life to work… her weekends to work… her nights to work…
and time for herself was null… you now try giving her… all time for herself…
she is definitely going to wonder.. What am I going to do with all this time I got
in hand…
Lucky me in only one fact
that I am pretty good at many other things apart from work (Well who
says that… hmm let me think… arrey me myself… and all those certificates lying
in my bag)…
So tried my hands on
#1 - Painting, sketching, decorating my house… well
Samit was almost about to faint when I put up so many small birds on the wall…
he said “Chidiya ghar banaya hai”… lol trust me… bt it looks good…
#2 - Cooking was one domain I was good at…
passionate about… but never got the time to do it full time you see… well got
many tags recently from my very dear old friends… Housewife… Gharelu ( For those who dont know Hindi... Gharelu means Homely) … Sanjeev Kapoor (Chef)…
Wow… new tags… loving it… No offence…initially was hurt but you know when you
learn to let go… that’s the time you realize…. Oh my god… I am getting Old…
kissi baat ka bura hi nahi lagta… or maybe after working with all weirdo’s and
tuff clients for last 5+ years in IT my level to take tags has increased ;)
#3 – Joined a Church...
Must tell you heavenly experience… Indeed… Such warm and welcoming people…
straight from Heaven… suddenly I feel like am I the only bad one amongst all… phew… but really
some really good elderly couple I met… made me feel… wish all could shower such
love and care without asking anything in return… rare to see right in our world
these days…
#4 – Further studies –
Well thought of joining Creative writing course in New York University… but see
my luck… admissions for Fall 2013 is done… and for Fall 2014, applications will
be accepted only in Nov 2013… my my that’s a long time right… tho socha kyu na
job kia jaaye for a year…
#5 – Job Hunt – My my… my
resume rocks in the market… but the not so rocking factor is my visa… H4 people
you see… and my luck or bad luck I am standing on the last month to apply for
H1B… so consultants who are willing to sponser my visa tell me that the end
date is nearing and they have already sent out their list of H1B applicants for
this year to embassy already… so down goes my hunt…
In the midst of all this I
started thinking… “What do I really wanna do”… you see... when you are confused
and you got lotta time on your plate questions like these very naturally pop up
;)… thought to myself… Ministry was one area where in I was interested in and
also to goto bible study school…
#6 – Open area is to join
Bible Study School…. Have hunted down few universities… Lets see how the hunt
goes…
Well apart from all this…
getting settled in my new life… new home… new town… new city and above all new
country and ya how can I forget… new husband… Samit is going to kill me if he
reads this blog… ;)…
Phew…. Wow… 2months …
kaafi kuch kia yaar… for all those people who keep asking – “What do you do
whole day”… cmon inna saaraa kaam… not a joke ;)
So that’s my journey – “From
Corporate to Home”
Beauty of getting a slag
time in life is very high… and I am just trying to get its importance lately…
just makes you halt for a while… and think… who you are… It reminded me of a question
my friend asked me long back…. Long back… Once upon a time…
Question- Whats – “Rashmi
(minus) Work”… and he continued to say… that remove work from your life and
what you are left with is “You”… Back then didn’t really understand much…
Back then my answer - Hmm Hmm.. I don't know...
But now – “I do”
