pièce de résistance

I am losing to see the while point of being a mother. More I listen to people more I am thinking, what is the point? You get pregnant, you carry around that lump for 8 or more months, then you give a excruciatingly painful birth to a crying-peeing-pooping diaper-monger. (You would think that would be all.. hahahaha…)

Then you give up your normal life-style to take care of it for 18+ years – you don’t sleep, you don’t take timeout for yourself.. You devote your life behind raising it, tolerating its inability to stick to the rules, and equally powerful natural abilities to find all incompetence in your part to fail to see what it (s/he) is planning next, that might stamp right at your face and yell, ‘in your face sucker!!’

You know what I think?
All this crap about ‘being mother is the best thing of all’ – slogan is just another way how other new-moms can cut your tail in the same trap. And when men says the same thing, in my head its getting translated as -’how about you stay back home, clean after the messy monster, so that I can take the day off’? What would have been fair is, if women gave birth, it should only be fair if men stayed back and took care of baby.

Hope I am not harsh-ing your mellow, I guess it would just take me some time to really see the point of giving birth to another mouth when the earth already has enough people.

looking up to bright side of life

Don’t really mean to sound ungrateful, but at present life hasn’t been treating me very nicely. In a conversation with my dad, we shared a joke.
The joke I made was an old one -

‘ a guy was walking through a rainy night and he stumbled upon a piece of rock and fell in the mud, and right after that there was a thunder and for a second there was light everywhere.. the guy stood up and said – ‘Gheez.. you made me fall to have a laugh, and then you just had torch down to see that I fell, right ?!”

To this I added, ‘Dad, not only He made me fall, now he is digging the hole and as soon as I manage to climb up, there are land slides that makes me fall again..’ I really feel that much lost right now.

To make me feel better Dad suggested this – ‘just pray, lets presume – heaven exist, if not at least we are staying fit with the prayers exercises.’ that sounds like a good way to look up at the bright side of life..

For life is quite absurd And death’s the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin. Give the audience a grin.
Enjoy it. It’s your last chance, anyhow.
So,…
Always look on the bright side of life.
