Its been sometime since I blogged...so today I thought let me give it a go...its been a long time since I was home doing nothing...'not being busy' !! The month of March I had designated as a month for myself...when I would invest in 'me-time'....indulge in cloud gazing and pottering around the house, sleeping with the dog and looking at cupboards....all those things I never find time to do....

So the month began on the slowest note...with one of the domestics going on maternal leave and a new one in her place....I had to now train her....something I hadnt done in a long long while....teach her to clean without losing my cool.......aaarggh...well it did help that the older maid instructed her before she left so she was already willing to learn and unlearn.....but suddenly it began to pour in Delhi and we had slushy parks and a new problem for Max to figure out...he was so used to going to the park we didnt know if he will adjust walking now on cemented pavements instead of grassy fields....well he did adjust and adapt....but every chance he got to jump into puddles he did..... and managed to get himself drenched with mud and goo....

Learning to slow down and not follow a timetable was difficult...the first calamity was my sleep patterns...I now was a compulsive TV viewer ....flipping from channel to channel and being up to date with all the serials and characters ....I was also addicted to chatting with other insomniac friends who were up either cos of their location or due to work or just cos they too couldnt sleep....this was the best part of my 'not busy' life.....when I could have conversations on anything and everything........

....am still trying to get a hang of it........making new friends as I go along.....a whole month of this new nothingness to discover.........interesting times
