Is idle mind really a devils workshop???

Good evening…my mind is buzzing with a lot of thoughts that wants to see the light of day…. the summer heat is unbearable…. its because of “agni nakshatram”, (literally means fire star)… so during this star period there is no escape from the scorching sun for us mere mortals…

Once we become a mother, why does everything else takes a back seat… are the responsibilities meant only for the mothers…just because she isn’t the bread earner…or even if she is a part earner…she has to handle everything…maybe its easier for the working mothers, they have an outlet, they can use up all the pent up frustrations and aggression to attack their work…hence don’t have time to think about all these things… Or so I would like to think, since I am a stay at mom….the grass is greener on the other side always!!! Why do we women make ourselves into martyrs?? And in the process…never cease to give and give and give…. and god forbid us if we fail to perform our super human duties to perfection…the guilt trips takes over or should I say the guilt rips us into shreds!!! This also makes me wonder…how did our mothers and grandmothers cope…. perhaps things were different then…women were content and didn’t think anything beyond their home and family….

Enough ramblings for now…. anyways once the little face smiles and the tiny hands envelops us into a tight hug…all these thoughts just vanish…or at least are pushed far back till their next appearance…
