Do your job only

Today in my daughter swimming class, there is one teacher and 3 kids taking turn to swim. Then fourth girl comes 6 mins late. Her mom was struggling to put on her swimming googles . The teacher offered to help and spent about a min or two for that. I being the mother of a child who is already on time and waiting for her turn got a bit uncomfortable as in why the teacher offered to help.
I was that teacher in my previous job. Trying to help others and in turn irritated few people who I was accountable to.

Lessons From Mahanathi movie

I saw the biopic movie of the great acress Savithri . Want to jot down few life lessons.
1. Grab opportunity to earn money in the age when you can earn.
2. Save for retirement.
3. Ego from husband is bad, no matter what.
4. Live happily and with love as long as you are alive.

My major negative point

I try to be so nice sometimes that I let go of my basic duties. Stop being nice, concentrate doing things right instead.

Still long way to go

I made a terrible mistake today.
My daughter invited from school a boy to our house. He is supposed to go to day care, but because of my daughter invitation he stayed back. Unfortunately I was feeling sluggish today, and my mom agreed to pick up my daughter from school today. in few mins my mom called and said a boy is coming along with her. His mom is not to be seen. I had no clue what could be happening. I asked her to wait in the school and I walked there to check. This boy said I am coming to your house. One of the other parents said that boy had informed the daycare about his plan. She also insisted that I speak to his parents if I am taking to my house. Initially I was planning to drop him in daycare myself, but somehow I changed my mind. I called his mom and dad but no one picked the phone, so I left them message in WhatsApp. After reaching home, I got a bit rude reply that I should have spoken to them first before taking them to my home. They are good friends to me as well, so I was taken back. When I spoke to them, I learnt that the day care had complained to school that the boy was missing. The school raised a police complaint and informed the parents. They were worried sick. Both of them fled from there office and saw my message only in the train.

Phew, I am such a looser. I always messes up things. Why do I do this? When will I have enough sense? This is my negative point. I want to leave it.

That boy Mon was so smart. She cooks food well, they have 2 sons. The elder one have lots of classes and homework. And she works well in office as well. Her husband says she is good in planning. She goes one day advance in cooking. They eat dinner at 6.30 the thing that was cooked the previous day. And she cuts vegetables on sunday to keep it ready.

I want to be as organized as her, and efficient. She may be 5 years elder to me, after 5 years will I be as smart as her?

Getting better

Today I saw terrible news, a man killed his mother father and brother with an axe. He also attempted to kill his sister who is terribly injured.
He is sentenced for 3 lifetime of imprisonment.
When they showed his face on tv, I felt sorry and pity for him. I wanted to hug him and say it's OK. Why would anyone do such a terrible thing in the world. What made him do that. That has push him this far. How is he coping with it now, after doing such a terrible thing, I am sure he is not feeling any better. He must be felling worst than before. And now the world will treat him all the more bad. How can we heal him. He deserves to feel better and be happy.

I am surprised by my own thought. Did I become a better person that my attitude towards a murderer has changed this much.
