Being a full time writer must be a very difficult thing. How can anyone manage to be creative all the time.
In my opinion, one is at one's creative best when one is not stressed. When there is no dropdead date around the corner. Then what motivates them? The desire from deep within, the passion can only last so long no? I somehow am very driven when I know I need to finish this by then. If not my jobs are mostly complete like 90% done and the rest 10% is always work in progress because I can never feel its perfect.Sometimes i feel i need to try atleast a little harder to write things more meaningful than my mundane observations of daily life. Something i am beginning to do.... despite despising it ever since my i-want-to-have-a-blog-of-my-own days. Oh well ... this too shall pass;).
Also i love my new maid. She cleans the floor spic and span. Like a mirror. Like how i love it to be. Its just like how i mop my house:) Thats another thing i keep thinking. back in welli, Prash and I did the housekeeping. All the time. Even when we had a tiny one to take care of. Even when she had diahorrea.How did we manage the show? I have no clue now all i know now is its very difficult to be independent in bangalore. Its almost impossible without a help to keep the house clean. May be because there is so much dust that we have to mop everyday. Like... in welli i could vaccuum the carpeted area once in 3 days and we would still be good(with the baby too). Here I need the floor swept and moped everyday.. if i had my way it would be twice a day but then passion becomes obsession at that stage i would imagine;). Anyways point is I am dependent on my maid to clean the floor everyday. Meaning i get frustrated if she does not turn up somedays. If she neglects a room sometimes. I feel helpless. Its something i cant do anything about because practically i dont have the luxury of spending an hour a day to clean the house. 2 hours a week was do-able. 2 hours a day nope. i have better use for my time. Its a compromise in my daily life. worth it?
Also commute to work. Now driving in this city is a nightmare(surprise surprise!) plus who wants to add to the smoke and noise? So i tried running to work one day. There is so much impracticality around it seriously i am not making excuses but its not possible to run everyday to work. I am chicken to cycle all the way. I love me way too much to take the risk of getting run over by some headless driver. Dont know wat to do.
I am now in a phase of "fix it" meaning I am slowly accepting the reality that Bangalore is. Its probably a step in the right direction. Accept things as they are and stop the negativity thats getting to you. I dont want to be dissatisfied ever. Fix it if its causing dissatisfaction. Simple no? oh well just like all simple things in life ....
