Lost and found

I didnt know, arranging closed could be blessing.. Last week, I organized my closet . Oh God, I never knew I have so many clothes, cosmetics and accessories. I have tendency of buy and forget.

My post pregenecy cloths are fitting me now. So, I don't need to buy more cloths for upcoming family function in July and August, 2012.

I have also found few hair accessorizes  and a scarf holder, which I can use in day to day life as well in glittery family functions.

Well, I am tossing at least 5 things in upcoming week.  I am having some less load in office and so, planning to declutter my house..

The climate in Pune, India is awesome , the blue sky is full of white little clouds.

I have taken this picture when I took Ira to garden , while she was busy playing ball, I was busy taking pics.

What are your plans of decluttering? Have you found anything useful in your last closet organizing, which was in the back of closet, waiting for use?

Dreaming of peaceful weekend and help from Hubby in household errands.

Maid tantrums

 Yesterday, my maid has put me in the 'hands up' situation. She has asked for about 15% pay raise only after 2 months of working at my home. As a working mom, I need a maid for child care as well as house hold.  She used to come for 5 hours a day and was getting paid pretty good. While working in my household, she came to know how badly I need a help and started showing tantrums , like coming late, taking sudden day off etc. And yesterday was the height.

Bring in India has few advantages. The prime advantage is , one can get domestic help very easily. As all the coins have two sides, we also have cons of this advantage. The maids here are not loyal. One needs to change maid very frequently.

I have called a 'Maid agency' yesterday and fix an appointment for new maid, may be for 11 hours now. Lets hope for the best !!!


P.S. I have raised her salary and she has raised her working hours .. A win-win situation..

Monday -- A 'Rebirth' for me..

I love Monday for a special reason. Monday gives a start to my slow paced weekend hangover routine. Every weekend, I become sloth and keeps procrastination. The weekend is the time for family. No washing cloths, no extra cleaning. And my maid also takes a day off on Sunday. So, Sundays are meant to be more bulk cooking, shopping for grocery and outing with family.

 As Sunday evening comes, I start listing tasks for upcoming week and  looking for Monday morning to start a real day of life. I sometimes think that Sundays are totally wastage in my life. But everyone needs relaxation. What do you think??

Being alone by choice..I'm lovin it!!!

After few years of relationship, every woman start thinking about 'WE', rather than 'Me'. When it comes to decision making, woman thinks about what her partner will think, what will be effect on him and so on. And sometimes, we cant take decisions which are correct for us. But if one will get a break from relationship, she start thinking about the possibilities and wants, which she missed in her tenure with some.

I get an opportunity to be single for sometime .. And I am so much enjoying it. I am a mom-to-be and at my parent's place till the time I will deliver the baby and baby will be 3-4 months old.Today, it is exactly 1 month of being single and 5-6 more months, I will be 'Happily single by choice' for more time.. No more waking up early to cook for 2, No more packing lunch, No more fight on finance and money, No more expecting someone to be early at home, No emotional clashes, No more expectation and heartbreak...

Below are few advantages of being single, I found..


1. You can do as you please
2. You can be your own boss
3. You can focus on your career
4. You can be spontaneous
5. You don’t have to deal with other's personal habits
6. You have more time for activities
7. You can control your finances
8. You can appreciate your independence
9. You can gain weight without worrying
10. No one can taunt you for being miser/overspending


I know, I will have this 5 months of being single , and its one time in life opportunity. I am looking forward to enjoy it fully !!!

Attitude-- thats what really matters...

  


   We keep changing our views, ideas and suggestions about any particular thing, but the base concept which is responsible for our behaviors remains unchanged.. That 'Base Concept' is  known as attitude. Attitude is not earned by birth, though your social attire impress attitude at some scale. Thats why we are told to have good friends and rationale surroundings around us. We earned attitude by experience mainly, reading partially and by surroundings at some level only.

   How we experience certain incident  is purely matter of our choice.  We can handle unpleasant incident properly by keeping mind cool and gain at max, or vice versa. The process of handling unpleasant incident with cool mind is known as Positive Attitude. There are two basic processes of positive attitude---1. Keep mind cool 2. Aim at gaining maximum from certain incident. While, two basic course of events are co related with having negative  attitude.---1.Overwhelming 2.Ignoring optimum gain.

   You can get things done by keeping your mind cool. Sometimes , we cant keep our mind cool and get frustrated , due to irrationality of next person. But when we aim at optimum gain , we start looking the thing other person does. Once you get to know what will be the next step of the other person, the fight becomes easy as all strategy are in front of you.  All great leaders gain from positive attitude, why not we???
