Honesty is d best policy

I was in kitchen and heard a loud thud of something falling down. When i rushed to the living room, i saw the big flower frame (that was once part of our wall) is now on the floor in various pieces. And Sid is just beside it standing on top of his study table. Any lame man could have guessed what had happened. And at the same time, somebody knocked on the door. So Sid was escaped from the instant sprout of my anger.

In the evening, we had this conversation:

Me: Tell me sid, didnt u touch that frame in the morning? Isnt that the reason it fell down?
Sid: no mumma, i didnt touch it.
Me: tell me honestly. I swear i wont scold u.
Sid: honestly mumma, i didnt touch it. I only swayed it.

Midway

18th November. I love my birthday. Well, who doesn't! The feeling of being remembered by friends and dear ones, and they taking some time off from their busy schedules to call or drop a wish --- Aaah.. so affirmative and content.

This birthday was a special one --- I have completed 30 years here on Earth. 30 years. If you see it as a span rather than an age, you realize it is a big period of time. I don't agree to the saying, "Life starts at 30." Nor do I think that it ends here. And, nor do I get a "mid-life-crisis" kind of feelings. My life till now has been very rewarding and my present stature is the result of these 30 years that I lived. Yes, the thought-process changed, priorities changed, perspectives changed, yet I am the same girl within.

Midway on my life journey (or so do I hope), here's some gyaan on how typically a 30-year old birthday girl feels:
* By now, you know yourself much more. Like what you are good at and what you just hate doing... Career-wise, hobby-wise, chores-wise, and everything-else-wise.
* You now know things might be difficult but not impossible. You start going with the flow.
* You don't just love your parents, you have started to empathize with them. Need I say more? Haha, They are no longer a different generation. But somehow, you can't explain this to your next generation.
* You are now working on some strategies on work, finance, and family. (And you sometimes laugh at your past attitude.)
* You start valuing time.

Cheers, Life!
