Hola...
The festive season is kinda over but hey, Diwali is still there...We Bengali's are still holding on to the last biggest festival of the year. Perhaps after thats it's back to everywhere or wherever want to go. Lakshmi Pujo is always fun but the arrangements take up almost the entire day. Earlier women of the house used to divide the workload and the entire day of fasting or even some extended hours never mattered. From doing the arrangements of 'bhog' to making 'alpona/rangoli' everything used to be somewhat streamlined. With time in most households its one woman army army or if fortunate enough would be two people to share the load and worship the Goddess.
It's all about time and timings. When we are late time rushes, and we are slow time almost stops. Happy times makes the clock run while hard times pauses it i feel. When my S was a baby i wondered when would be grow out of diapers and now with each birthday i want him slow down. Human psychology i guess!
This morning i saw my S staring through the window. He sat for quite a few minutes and seemed lost. A few minutes later i tried to probe. He was somewhat deeply thinking why does weather change, why not everything can remain same. I explained to him that if things remain same it would be boring. He somewhat agreed to an extent but he didn't like. He doesn't want the trees to shed their leaves, relatives visiting going back, his favorite shows going off air. He loves people around, laughs and endless conversations. To him life should be exciting. He is too naive to understand the intricacies of life. Children have completely different mindset. I wish we never lose our innocence even when we grow up. The element of innocence should should somehow never leave us.
After that discussion he asked egg fried rice for lunch to which i added vegetables and eggs of course. His snack box had pineapples and a sweet today and yogurt.
Enjoy your day and watch your surroundings, everything keeps changing everyday. Cherish them....
