Weekend Specials

Earlier this week, I was telling my son that the weekend was just a couple of days away. We could eat Pizza, pasta, burger, anything he wanted. Cut to Friday night. He refused to sleep with his grandma like he usually does. He came running to me. We were cuddling and playing on the bed and I mentioned to him that we all don't have to go to school or office tomorrow. We could sleep longer than usual.

He immediately reminded me that Saturday was Pizza day. That kid amazes me. He remembers so many things which we would have forgotten that we even talked about. He recites a sloka, "Shuddha Brahma Paratpara Raam" in the cutest way possible. I wonder how he remembers so many lines of the shloka's lyrics. The last week was particularly hectic. And one way I get through every stress possible is this young kiddo. He hugs me and tells me that I am his friend and he gets excited that I am back home from the office.

Weekends are just as hectic as my weekdays at work. My 3-year-old makes it completely worth it at the end of the day. Every weekend is special when we get to spend time together. Now got to go and make him do his homework. Yes. 3-year-olds get homework too. We will discuss that on another day.

The Man

  Last week, this song "The Man" by Taylor Swift, played as I walked into office. It felt like a great way to start my work as I marched into my floor and inside my cabin. Pumped, I start my daily routine at work and as I get through the day, I realize I enjoy my work and that I am good at it. Would I be at a different level if I were a man? Maybe. But I would rather go through my journey my way because we cannot keep regretting what we cannot change. However, I do lend that hand to a younger woman and guide her so she learns from my mistakes too and can work smarter. I make sure I am the person representing my girl-tribe in moments where their skills are sought for.  This also reminds me of Cher's interview where she says that instead of marrying a rich man, she was the Rich Man !  I'm so sick of running as fast as I can Wondering if I'd get there quicker If I was a man And I'm so sick of them coming at me again 'Cause if I was a man Then I'd be the m...

A Birthday Celebration to Remember

  Last year, June 2022, we celebrated my son's 8th birthday and thanks to the concussion and memory loss, I didn't remember anything about it. This year, as he turned 9, made sure that I was present and there were many presents(more than what you can see here) !  And ofcourse, this year, with the cake, friends, family and the time-off from work really helped me spend quality time with him and my family and really this was a birthday celebration to remember.

June - Doctor/Hospital month??? Is this the start of a trend?

 June 12th 2014, I went for a regular scan to my Gynec - 37 weeks into my pregnancy and was asked to go for an immediate scan, that followed a suggestion to get admitted right away, and then surgery was scheduled the next day. 28 years on earth and I had never been admitted at a hospital for anything, not even typhoid or chicken pox! And here I was hospitalized for 11 days, 1 pre-surgery, 10 post until my son recovered from jaundice ! And that's the end, I thought !  June 4th, 2022, I was out shopping with my son. My previous blog posts detail the ordeal and how i was again hospitalized for a week for concussion and surgery to my face for bruises. A plastic surgery that didn't change my "beauty".  Cut to June 16th 2023, a couple of days ago, woke up with a sharp, shooting pain, like contractions non-stop and ended up getting admitted, drips and pain killers not being effective, to rushing to a scan that helped find the root cause - Hemorrhage of cyst in ovary. Sounds ...
