Balancing Life

Everybody feels past was best and present is pathetic and future remains to be worrisome. When we were in college, securing good marks make us read in late nights, getting a placement in pre-final year itself pressured too much, Always struggled to keep ourselve best irrespective of eco-system, Now when industry experience crossed a decade period, looking back those days, seems to be pretty nostalgic and very exciting, and now the thought process recalls how good those old days.
While everyone (few like to be in the same jovile mood) tied with family and most of them expanded their family. Things have suddenly changed. And the change at times creates rifts with the past. When newly married, the joyness of knowing a new partner, giving all goodies and trying out different foodie at home or outside, keeps the life rocking, and when decided to add-on a new member, unless otherwise, the balance sheet is verified properly, it's gonna eat away your P/L account from the bottomline. And as every owning asset comes with liability, an expanded family comes with high responsibility and risk of handling smoothly at home family and demanding market dynamics at Office space.
Suddenly you feel of a domestic help, and till now become nucleus family, people become bit selfish and start pressurising their parents to join them, not only for safe guarding their own interest, but to secure their parents needs. Anyway, it's both way. However, flexibility is the term of past ? now, you talk, you eat, you sleep, and you do anything that depends on your new home coming baby's timings. Can't step out on a freaking BIKE with spouse in a madness traffic, rather owning another asset called CAR to carry the family ? Earlier there was hardly any visits to Hospital, now it's like you have a Kismat Konnection with Medical center always, and keep inquiring on new padeatric Dr.
Life goes on like this; A life that balanced among so many challenges, from family to office. Well Office story is a different game altogether, and shall treat in another BLOG.
