Food For Thought

Long time ago, when I was still not a mother, I had great ambitions, great expectations and great thoughts for a grand life. Those were the times when perfection was something I could almost not do without. I was idealistic to the point of being idiotic sometimes.

But then reality struck, I became a full time mommy and keeping up with simple everyday tasks became laborious and almost a herculean effort.

Leading a simple life enjoying the simple pleasures of life needed to be a well planned project with carefully thought of deadlines and timelines. It's really sad how life in this planet in the present day has reduced to chasing behind time and always falling short of achieving your lofty goals. It's almost too much peer pressure, social pressure and worldly pressure from everywhere to do things a certain way and conform to laws laid down for parenthood. But then when you become a parent you are not handed this Zen and the art of Parenting book from the creator of that simple life you brought into this world. Nor is there a Bible or Quran for parents that the God revealed.

I have been stuck in this vicious whirlpool of conformity for sometime now. So after some amount of pondering into my ethos, I have inferred that it's about time I lead my life the way it was meant to be. Appreciating the simple pleasures of life, Enjoying the simple love of my innocent children, Creating a simple life for me and my loved ones.

So this is a new beginning that I am trying to write in my freshly remodeled book. One of my simple pleasures is writing about simple stuff.
So ... Cheers to Simple Love, Simple Pleasures and Simply Life
