New motherhood comes with no me-time. Almost. It also comes with a lot of loneliness, questions, issues and sleep deprivation. Just when you think you are settling once your baby is six months old, you get busy with office. Sometimes it comes with staff management, family management and also your own expertise in not stepping up for yourself and just over think about issues.
However, sometimes you see a silver-lining too. You get to talk to your favourite people and feel good. Even if it is for a while. Sometimes you just Whatsapp or mail such people and feel good...And sometimes your favourite people come to meet you from US of A and also your husband manages to push you to spend time with them. An entire day. Without worrying about your baby, home, in-laws, parents other family members. Now, that is a line full of diamonds and not a silver-line!
Because I am writing with such gusto about it, obviously it happened. Yesterday. I spent almost a whole day with my most favourite people in the world - Kaka and Kaki. That too, how? Visiting Kalaghoda Festival, window shopping and shopping, visiting a book store and discuss a lot about life in general! Ah, also- We had coffee, lunch, tea and coffee together, in that order. I mean, even in my dreams I don't get people like me who can really roam about for such things in life!
I almost felt like a little girl talking to best friends who can sort every issue she has in life. Just talking to them reminds me that I can be a lot better as a person that what I am. I can be a lot better at sorting myself out than I am. And not in a negative way, but in a very positive way.
I do not have to think twice before asking them a thing. I just feel the wavelength and believe me, irrespective of relationship other members of my family share with them- I just adore them, I respect them and I look upto them - all the time.
My family has gone though tough times in last 3 years. Abby has been a blessing for them. However, we as a couple were always under the judgemental eyes of society and family on how we are supporting other members of the family. Possibly rightly so. However we both husband and wife are now feeling bogged down by the load with our brand new baby. If somebody can sooth me from this entire situation, than it is them.
I can not forget how I can talk on and on and on and on about anything under the sun with them. Movies, Books, Art, Science, Mythology, Cooking, Religion, Parenting, Fashion, Gadgets, Coffee, Tea, Food, Decor, Relationships. Name it, and I will add it.
They are the perfect combination of a set of parents with an understanding of friends. I love my both sets of parents, but they are the third set - Dear to me. (Not in that order!)
That one super power I believe in, sometimes just showers sunshine on me.
They are my Sunshine and who does not like a Sunny Day?
