In the man’s world, as they call it, it’s a mad race. Once you’re off the bus, it’s tough to get back on it. But unlike her male counterpart, even the most fiercely competitive woman is a mother, a caregiver, first. Driven by this instinct, there are some happy mommies who have said glad goodbyes to full-time jobs so that they could be with their kids. ‘‘I want the best for my son and that includes ‘sanskar’, which only parents can inculcate. Being a perfectionist, I wanted to give 100% to both my family and work. But the two things don’t go together. So, I gave up my career altogether for my top priority, my 12-year-old son,’’ says Dr Anjali Kashyap, a radiologist. Searching for harmony, MBA Monica Shukla feels, ‘‘Balancing home and work is an art that decides our level of happiness. I think I have achieved it to some extent. The moment I first held my bundle of joy, my motherly instinct told me to give her the best. Thank God for a work-from-home opportunity that came my way. Now
We too are shivering here... weather has changed so fast.
ReplyDeleteNice one!
Ya.. n i guess im falling prey to this change..
ReplyDeletebeautiful.
ReplyDelete:) Thanku so much sir... I'm really delighted to read ur comments... I read somewhere that in real Haiku's they mention the season... I don't know if its necessary or not... but I just tried using it...
ReplyDeleteI am not too learned on the subject, Charu. I have also wondered about this. It could be that haiku had evolved from the Zen Buddhist culture. Zen is meditation, being integrated with the whole. When you are integrated with the whole, you are alive to the pulsebeats of everything around you. You merge with the whole. Then the birds, the trees, the hills, the rivers...and, yes, even the bustle of the city become part of you. You place yourself only within the context of the whole. You become a hyper-sensitive antenna picking up the subtle changes in the mood around you...And, have you noticed this--the mood of the whole is all about the seasons. I guess one need not bring in the name of the season in a haiku for it to be called a haiku, if one can convey otherwise the meditative experience of being with the whole.
ReplyDeleteAm I talking sense? I don't know.
It's all making sense... Just that I need some more understanding... of the world... of the life... and of the whole... as u call it
