Overwhelming!!

So I am sitting at a Starbucks.. Oh my god , so many thing to do before the Sunday ends. Actually before 5PM. Its already 3 PM. I am yet to finalize the art work for our product , that new project that's coming in needs to be completed in time- some serious planning required there , Library books need to be returned, What happened about that amazon order , Yes the spa appointment tomorrow , ohh planning for the thanksgiving shopping (I take it very seriously!) , India trip and tickets , oh that last week.... The US elections and the results , Indian Prime Minister shocked everyone by a bold step of 500-1000 notes.. Commendable strategy , moreover the secrecy maintained during the execution is unmatched.. How about  the 2017 strategy for that market ,  Remember the router needs to be changed , Shall I move to a new place? , Birthday gifts for my November , ohhh didn't post the card!
 , working on the market... The step count for the last week was very low. Need to run more this week to maintain the average..

Wait Wait Wait


How about this delicious caramel Latte that you are just sipping without even noticing the aroma or the taste.. Isn't this sugar too much for a person like me , who would prefer coffee with no sugar..

Its so easy to get lost in the chores and be overwhelmed and still not being productive. At some point everyone goes to that stage. No matter how well organized you are, no matter how proactive you are..there will be some point where you will be simply simply overwhelmed..Most of the times because of the ever-wandering mind! It just wont stop... 

I am just reminded of my mother's favorite phrase.. "एकेक विचार व्यवस्थित घडी करून कपाटात ठेव !" 
(Fold every thought carefully and put it in the cupboard , this is the analogy we have heard since childhood when the room would get messy.. The same applied to the mind)

How true is that , 
The analogy of a messy room fits perfectly to the overwhelmed mind! Too many thoughts and no productivity.. Busy being overwhelmingly busy! 

For now , I will close everything and enjoy this cup of coffee.

आयुष्य म्हणजे नक्की काय ?

So here are two imaginary ladies (:P) talking to each other on a Wednesday evening..


A : What am I doing in life? Everyday I just get up , go to the gym , get ready , go to work , go back home , chores+cook , read , sleep and repeat! But where am I headed , where am I going?

B : I have similar feeling.. Its like we are on auto pilot. Nothing changes , nothing breaks. Good nothing is broken...


A : yes , I have no complains about it.. Actually I am really happy with everything these days.. But so what , what next.. Whats life?

B : I know , a million dollar question , actually a billion dollar question , whats life?

Then these two ladies keep talking about Life and whats life for 30 minutes

A : You know you are right , we need do something extra , to keep going.. To enjoy life.

B : Are you kidding me ,  do you want to say that we do not enjoy life?

A : Well absolutely not! We are few of those amazing people (hAHA) who live to their fullest. Who are always smiling , having fun , living in the moment

B : I know.. We are awesome!

A : But still , I dont know whats life?

B : Yes so true , I still think that there is more to life than this.

A : I know , btw did you checkout the sale on Ann Taylor? It looks good.

B : Wait let me check ....(a moment of pause) Wow , the blue dress ? Its $169!! But its so good

A : We think alike, that blue dress is so pretty , whats the cost after the discount?

C : Wait up girls , I have been listening to your crappy discussion on "Whats life" for almost 39 minutes and now you decide not to conclude it and talk about Blue dress?

A and B : Exactly our point , That's life!
