It seems like a lifetime ago, when I last wrote here. Since then life has taken so many turns, I can't not be grateful. Most important update of all: I am now working in one of the biggest tech giants in the world and couldn't be happier. Not that I am earning better. I infact am getting lesser than the startup I used to work in earlier. It is even lesser than the other offer I almost accepted 4 hours before this one. But it is worth much more, because it was a dream come true moment in my life. So to everyone who thought the life update was me getting pregnant, it is not. It is me getting into my dream company Google!
I love creating things, be it using paper and pens the analog way or coding it all the digital way, but above all I love writing down the gazillions of thoughts buzzing in my head 24*7 about anything and everything. Poems aren't my forte but I may try my hand at it, for I fall under code-loving-writer category.

Change your tshirt everyday, keep your surroundings clean, take a shower everyday, Workout, lets do a fun couple activity, lets budget our finances, make the bed, why haven't you brushed your teeth till now?, keep the phone away, there is no need to buy oil with trans-fat, KEEEP THE DAMN PHONE AWAY, will you, wake up to see the sunlight first, work on your skills, get a certificate, change companies, ask for more pay, spend time with me, lets go on a date night, lets share some secrets, ARE you STILL on your phone watching news in hindi? lets start a round-robin for who will clean the toilet every week, we are roommates right, then we are equally responsible for cleaning the room.... My husband tries to understand and follow some of the gazillion things I tell him to and when he tries to share it with others as "good things to do in life" I beam with pride. Somewhat like my mother would have, when I did what she asked me to. Am I becoming a mother to my husband?

Woke up by 6.30am. went to see the sun from the terrace
See the good in people. Note the bad in people and stay away from them when they are bad.
Sometimes people really try to do all they can to not ruffle my feathers and I hate myself for being that kind of a person. There is a breaking point for everyone. It seems closer than ever for my manager. I don't want to join a startup again. Not with this kind of an environment atleast. Its not the first time, I have been reminded of my place and what 'I'm supposed' to do before too. That hasn't stopped me from doing what I liked, but it sure needed patience. Father time might be slow, but he is merciful
I am not the kind of girl or person that believes "husbands" ought to be the ones who buy expensive gifts for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries etc. So all of 2020 and 2021 I did all the gifting. But now I am done too. I don't think I should be gifting either. No one appreciates it or uses those gifts either.
I can't believe its been 2 years since our engagement! We have accomplished "saving" our money well. Hope we learn to invest it properly too.
I am back to waking up early at 6ams. Its been a slow ride this one year. There were speedy moments and then the train chugged on slowly. I think I understand what it means to be a wreck inside and keep pulling through.
Aand my husband made chai today :)
