I got married at the perfect age of 25 (at least my parents think
so) to the love of my life. It was a perfect Indian wedding with lots of dance
and excitement and of course lots of shopping. To tell you about myself, I was
(oops I am) a career driven woman and was an IT professional working for over 6
years with various multinational companies. I had an interest in writing
since school days. Since the time my English teacher In Class 7th introduced us
to the concept of diary entry, it was a daily affair to me then. I used to
write every night before going to sleep.
However, post
marriage, I conceived real early and we had our bundle of joy in our arms
exactly after 9 months of our marriage (wink!!). I was quite clear that working
24 by 7, I will not be able to take care of my baby. We were living in a
nuclear family, so there was no one back home to take care of this little baby.
And then both I and my husband were against the idea of leaving the baby at
some daycare. We were really not convinced with the kind of setups and
caretakers at day care centers around our place. Ultimately, I left my job to
raise my son.
Being a Mum is
such a hectic job, Trust me it is!! During first 6 months, I didn’t realize how
time went by. By the time I realized, I had already become a regular mom who
hardly took care of herself or who had little or no interest in herself. The center
of her world was her 6 month old baby. That’s it!! But as time passed by, I
started to feel bad about myself and started to crave to work outside or at
home. I started to crave for my identity. And yes, side by side, without even realizing,
I was penning down all my thoughts and one day I came across a website
mycity4kids.com which is actually an open platform especially for mommy
bloggers like me. I started to contribute my articles there. Appreciation from
other mommy bloggers inspired me more and I started to write more.
And hence another
blogger was born. Though I admit I still need to learn a lot but whatever I
write, I write with my heart and get a lot of contentment when I read my own
articles as they truly reflect on my heart and soul.
I would love to
hear to your stories too. Do comment :)
