Hey Shikha,
How did it feel when you read ‘Bingo’ – I guess the feeling is hard to describe – can only be experienced. “Few good moments” make a big difference 🙂
I don’t have any long weekends. Friday is generally my day off – since our factory is closed on Friday and my work is more related to the factory. Dad taken an off on Sunday – that the weekly off for the office staff.
I was a workoholic until the kids were born. Working 6.5 days a week.
After Maahir was about 2, I realized that he shall soon grow – and I would have lost out on the best part of his childhood. I made sure that I spend quality time with him at least one day a week. I take him for a swim whenever possible – we go to the park – tell him stories. His happiness is the biggest gift – the most rewarding experience.
After Shourya was born, I decided that I shall spend at least 1 hour every day with the kids – it’s happening. It keeps all of us happy. Purvi too enjoys the time we spend together with the kids. There is a lot to talk about.
Infact, Shourya’s birth has changed a lot of things in me.
– I started writing – I make it a point to write at least one article a week (technical, social, general). Personally it is very satisfying.
– I am working towards my Physical goals – have enrolled for the 21 km Mumbai Marathon scheduled in Jan 2010 and have just begun preparations.
-I have become more spiritual – I am on the verge of completion of reading 800 page Bhagwad Gita. Maahir is a keen listener and knows the important lessons of the Gita
– I read a lot – Business Management, Technical Stuff related to my work, Psychology, Religion, Self Development – Thats my fuel, keeps me going
All said, I have been able to make the best use of my time. I still work 6.5 days a week and yet enjoy every moment.
To be honest, I couldn’t have asked for more from life. God has been very kind. I wish that my parents always enjoy good health. For the children – I pray for – good values (sanskar), education (gyan) and good health. Purvi is always there with me.
How about you ? Do write
Best
Jay
