I started this off a million times but somehow never really got a grip. I really do mean to do this from now on. Aahh Perseverance - That is what we need.
Navneeth went to school.. So I sit here on my balcony looking at the trees below. Its interesting how the leaves move with the wind. Sometimes the leaves of the oak stay stubborn even when all the maple trees are dancing around it. I wonder why..
They warn you of this very day when you quit your job to take care of your precious new born. Suddenly you have plenty of time and you don't know what to do. May be you regret your decision of leaving the job, may be you don't , but certainly you have some re-inventing to do.You can immerse yourself in household chores, or find the copy of your resume from that long forgotten 'work' folder and try to get back on track. Or just sit back on the balcony and let the quietness take over you.
I did have a plan. And as an Engineer I was trained to work according to plans. I certainly had a plan four years ago on my last day at work when I sat at the cafeteria looking at the Manhattan skyline across the river. But somehow life didn't quite go as I planned. Life runs on a different kind of software. It was high time that I realized that.
I have learnt to love this life on the detour. I had a wonderful time in India roaming around the paddy fields with Navneeth. He used to love throwing stones in water.Now after coming to Germany, we have redefined our comradeship and idea of leisure. He does have the habit of driving me crazy at times, but which 3 (and a half) year old doesn't?
What next? That is the big question.Hope I find the answer to it.
