(Pre-text : I have resumed work after a break of 6 months. Its been a week I have still not been given any work. So people are curious to know what am I upto when I am rattling away at my keyboard.)
Somebody (to be precise a Single unmarried gal in her late 20s) asked me
LS : So what are you upto? Any project?
Me : Nah, none. U know how it is out here ya?? Its just been a week for me, how will they give me work whilst people are waiting for ages now.
LS : So how do you spend time?
ME : I keep writing something or the other or reading.
LS : What are u reading??
ME : BLOGS
LS : Any interesting blogs
ME : Yup. Baking blogs and cooking blogs and mommie blogs.
LS : oooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh OMG. These are not my types
ME : Yup. They are my types not yours. But wait for sometime and you will be on my side of the world, and then we shall compare some notes about food and children and rashes and diapers and growing up.
'So what' I ask. I don't have to feel guilty about what I am doing, don't make me feel that way!!!
I am a mom of 2 and I have my interests in place.
I love to cook.
I love to bake.
And reading what other mommies are doing in their world is not a SIN.
Trying to be a good mother is not a SIN.
Growing up from being a party-goer to a mummy-dearest is not a SIN.
