When I talk about gut feeling, intuition I am not talking magic ,but science.Ok you think.the pandemic is making me write funny stuff,but hear me out.
You know that strange sensation at the pit if the stomach when you have to deliver a speech and you are nervous.
The strange feeling of knowing when your daughter just popped a cookie into her mouth from the cookie tin, when you weren’t looking. The insurance agent whom you know was lying .The friend who is not really one. We all have that extra sensation nudging us to make the right decision. Sometimes we think,its our sixth sense while others think we are overly anxious.
In April with the work,home,tutoring my daughter and the situation in general was taking its toll,my hubby wanted us to scout for cook.may be hire the old one back.She was now doubly employed somewhere else and not able to join.I interviewed someone who would have joined on 16th of this month.But the C virus struck again.This time quite close to our home.
My old cook worked at a house next doors who were affected by COVID and so was the household where the new cook was coming from.Result no cook being employed now.The plan is pushed to the back and beyond of things to do.Everyone is in quarantine.Test results are awaited.
Life is a tad repetitive food wise.But its always better to be safe and thankful.
But that’s story for another day.
The reason why I am writing is because it’s important we keep sharing stories of our parts of the world.People getting vaccinated is a reality which was absent last year.People getting infected in a reality like 2020.People still not wearing mask is a reality too.What we are doing now is the only reality. But many people are trying to wear a mask even in the sweltering heat of West Bengal.Thats the story I want to tell.
That life is going on and everyone is trying to cope.The human spirit is forever positive.This too shall pass .You and I will talk about this and wonder.
Trying our best is in our handa,the rest is not .
Trusting our sixth sense,intuition, gut feeling is important.Its the sum total of your life’s learnings, conditioning and environment. But remember you don’t fall prey to anxiety that’s a side effect of these times.
Mothers Know best.Mothers are Omniscient (almost).But for this to work you need to trust that you are enough.When you take decisions about house help, what to do ,what not do ,ask yourself, what would mom do?
Mother’s make the best buying decision.
Mother’s cook the best food.
Mother’s know when you need help.
Mother’s know about what could get you in trouble.
Mother’s know how to keep their family safe.
They know washing hands and socialdistancing works.
Listen to your mom.Being a mom is the best lesson in being your best self.The only way to find your best self is to ask yourself ,what you want your child to learn from you?
