Women’s day came and went by..did it make any difference to anybody??just a frank question.
Loads of messages and forwards exchanged…people wishing women…men trying to be goody goo and appreciating women just for one day ..all said and done..women feeling empowered..wow..it’s women’s day so???Wat difference did it make in anyone’s life??
My sis in law abroad had to to do the house hold chores as usual – all alone..
My Mil went about doing her routine Sunday chores – no rest..
My friends married/single all went about the same cooking- cleaning-dusting-mopping routine, going about winding up the unfinished business put off the entire week to be done on Sunday.
My maid came as usual…I did not give her an off ( cause Sunday is the only day I see her ) neither did she even know that today was womens day.
Does it make any difference in her life?? No!! It was just a normal work day for her, the lady security guard at the gate came to work as usual leaving a sick child at home, the flower vendor /tea stall lady was at their usual spot, taking a day off , that too on a Sunday would mean extreme loss of income for them.
I know I sound like a bored wife/women, but my day was the same as any day, even worse, it being a Sunday, my usual household chores, of cleaning dusting, washing a week load of clothes and extra work as it’s the one day I get an off!!
The one day I don’t have to set my alarm and rise and shine before the  clock strikes 7. The one day when I dont have to worry about packing my break fast and lunch or deciding on what to wear to work or rush to switch on the geyser, lest I forget and end up with chilly water.
I enjoy the ambience of sleeping late till 10 on a Sunday but trust my circadian rhythm to wake me up exactly at 7a.m   😦 my usual waking time everyday.
I twist and turn and tell myself it’s a  holiday!! So I definitely can afford two more hours of sleep and I doze off only to be woken up by the tympanic membrane peircing ring of the door bell, the cleaning staff having come to collect the garbage sharp at 9.30 a.m.
I sigh- cry and pull myself out of bed, hunt and dispose it off and climb into my bed to grab another hour of sleep and the bell rings again..now what!!! Here comes the car cleaning guy..duh huh..I glance over at my husband peacefully enjoying his sleep.
I fret and again clamber out of bed and give the car keys to the anxious guy at the door and jump into bed again, Hmmm… Dozing and dreaming of the  heavenly skies and blue seas and …. the door bell rings again, I wake up with a jolt and not again…..aaaahh my great maid has come, inspite of my repeated pleadings asking her to come a little late on Sundays…She is here by 10!!
I sigh – whine and miss my dads home, where I would not wake up before 12!! All groggy eyed I walk over to refrigerator and hand over the veggies to be cooked and instructions ranted.
I contemplate on catching a wink again but decide otherwise and scurry off  to freshen up, glancing  sadly at the clothes to be washed, thinking,
Why Oh Why God..why wasn’t I born a man..that too an Indian man..I would be sleeping and lazing while my wife would be doing all this..( Sounding familiar?? No offence to Indian men but that’s the truth) I double sigh and ponder over this grumpily, blaming God and my XX chromosome and plunge headlong into my Sunday chores..my sleep having gone for a toss and still hoping to catch up on an afternoon slumber..
Huh…Working Womens day girls…enjoyyy…

Psst** This is the routine for women without children..the mere thought of my friends with kids and the amount of work they are subjected to freaks me out. 😦

The Diet Game

image

Hellooo everyone…now to the new topic…
DIET…Do/Did I Eat That??

DIET..the  4 lettered word spells doom to all the women out there..Skinny..Curvy..Medium..Dwarfish and Goliath like…
Women come in all shapes and sizes like our vegetables don’t you think…the potato for instance or few luckier thin girls akin to the drumsticks 😛

image

Ha ha ha I know it feels odd to compare women and veggies but thats the closest we can get.
So whats it about DIET and women??
One friend literally starves herself throughout the day to hogg at night.
One is v v v conscious about what she eats but compensates and goads on chocolates and ice creams, according to her ” No snackies No Sleep”
Another one swears by the GM diet, dunking in 6 bananas and milk, much to my amusement.
One visits a nature cure hospital and is put on only 3 glasses of liquids per day.
One eats all the left overs from the childrens plates and skips her own food..calling it “The Mommy Diet” …phewww…so sad of us women and our never ending battle of the bulge, our bodies bearing the brunt of reckless, meaningless eternal dieting.

image

Take me for instance, My weight loss is eternally On and Off!!
( Majority Off  😛  )
I plan my diet for one week…feel my jeans loosen up ( maybe just a weasely 2 cms)  and  yippeee I go back to eating anything and everything grown under the blue blue sky and then oh no not again!! I put back those 500 grams I had lost 😦 and I fret around chomping away on diet poha ( with a calorie value exceeding 100)
It’s a never ending conquest and  my friends? trust them to come up with tips ranging from our Grandmas to GM to Beyonce diet.
Ok I vow I am gonna start off from Monday!! Yes I am very very serious! Monday it is and oh shit!! Monday?? Monday is tomorrow 😦 Oh noooo…and I mentally start  hunting for excuses.
Here I am still lazing around on a  Sunday evening, having gulped 4 cups of my favourite tea and having  gorged on a sumptous meal and  contemplating when to start my diet and the great MONDAY ( the universal day to start dieting apart from January 1 st ) is here so soon??!!

image

I feel and sigh, breathe in and out, crib a bit then I tell myself, ok il start on Wednesday ( For some unknown reasons I beleive starting anything auspicious – ahhhaaaa weight loss is auspicious work according to me – so I feel everything good should start anyday except Tuesdays and Sundays)
So I skip my dieting and put it off until Wednesday…
Come Wednesday, Oh no (groan) I think let me start tomorrow- Thursday- it’s auspicious u know!!
So wow ok, I start of like a good determined girl on thursday.
I gulp down my sugarfree juices, finish off my veggies transforming myself into Bugs Bunny munching on endless carrots, run around a bit, jump skip and jog. Sneak a peak at those delicacies baked
( yum) on the cookery show but tell myself to control, I visualise fitting into my jeans again and hence keep my temptations at  bay.
I barely pull myself through Friday following the strict routine, crawl through Saturday, grumpily asking God why din’t He make me just a few kilograms lighter!!
Saturday evening comes by and  behold  I am having cravings for  CHICKENNN…slurppp slurrpp i want chicken 😦 and I frown and feel – Oh enough of dieting and eating veggies now I want chicken, but my inner conscious tells me Noooo..control!!! No- Nope-Noooo diverting and so goes by Saturday dreaming of awesome roast legs.
( Yum yum again)
Finally comes Sunday,
Oh I have to- have to- have chicken it’s an universal law
“Sundays = Chicken ”

image

And behold I again have a sumptous meal comprising of chicken and my dieting goes for a toss, oh ok il start dieting again from Monday I tell myself!!!  😉
Ha ha so continues my never ending tryst with weight loss and diet..my diet cycle!!

image

Psst:
Munch munch,munch away to glory..
It important to be healthy and not all skinny.
Diet is just a way..
It’s not the start and end of day.
So…
Chuck the worries and be all merry..
Duh huh Eat whatever you want girl.. 🙂
