Time to relax...

...and when is that?
I have been continuously having courses and when courses are not on, so many many things to do. Social life had trickled down to a zero. When I see a call coming in from a friend or relative I know that the first few minutes will be a tirade of where-have-you-been and I brace myself for that. And if that relative is my father it is i-don't-understand-what-you-are-up-to kind of thing and I brace myself harder.
Meanwhile watched "Inception" and loved every bit of it. Few movies me and my husband enjoy together and this is one of those rare ones. The other ones one of us enjoy and the other merely bears and smiles through.
Had a course in Orissa earlier this month and then another that completed today. Dia is doing Prince Eric's friend Grimsby in their KG rendition of Little Mermaid and I have to get hold of her costume by tomorrow. I have also by-hearted her lines by now. My two year old has suddenly started having a say over my actions, like, don't speak on the phone, mama and don't go to office.
Read Chetan Bhagat's 2-states on my road trip from Jharsuguda and the flight back home. I think it is his best work. A great time-pass.
I should be getting down to writing one soon :)
Work is becoming more demanding. But among all these I think I have finally come to the conclusion that teaching a course is something that I feel most at home with. I do not do it with a sense of doing service to make a difference to people's lives or anything. I do it because it feels so great and it's a great plus that people get back saying the four or six days have been life-transforming to them.
I have started focussing more on my teaching and am quite impressed with my skills. It feels great to be doing this and I cannot say as much for my job, though sometimes it is nice.
I have also pondered a lot lately about some changes that I have witnessed in me in the last few months, very interesting changes and am very glad about seeing the changes that I had been seeking for long. Would love to share with you all...maybe in the next post!

May be first you can start writing, then inspiration will come. Wishing won't help, you will need to do it! :)
