One day off from...

Sriniketan · Nov 2, 2007

It is true, Vysan Sir, the 4 letter word, padutthum paadu, makes us not to take even one day off! because we are used to it and we love it that way!
If i have a secret how can i tell you-- through a 'medium'?

Ramya,
Weekends are more busier than the weekdays! Yes, it is true!
I totally agree with you that--- 'being busy for the loved ones too, is a happy moment'

Yes That is it Srini,

We are all made like that. We can never leave our family, our kids , and then their kids it goes on and on. We think after our kids are grown up we get holidays but we won't . Once we see a grand child it is different. Again we start off...

But we never seem to get tired of this ... ??:idontgetit:

Latha,
Thanks for your FB!
It is true that we cannot even take a minute for ourselves let alone a day!
Your last line reminds me of a story which goes likes this---

Dutiful father--always thinks about his sons' welfare even after their marriage and everything and cannot get help for his salvation, eventhough a saint was ready to give him that. He prolonged the days of his salvation and one day his 'last day' came. At that time the sadhu was not there. So when he came to know about that he felt sorry for the soul.
But he was happy because 'that poor soul' was there in front of the son's shop in the form of a dog. When Sadhu asked him why he was like that --the dog answered that his sons will not look over the shop properly and so he took this form to protect the shop. Duties continues to the next birth!
i hope i had conversed it correctly!

Sri,

Your lonliness is temprory as they will come back soon.I enjoy this lonliness very often,when wife is away to her mother or to her Guru,and i have just me , Tuffy,and the maid.

But i know she is coming back, so its ok, and i have a ball on the blogs.:-o

I love to read too, so i dont get bored much.

and as i have 2 daughters, and one is married, soon we two will be lonely, but i ahve prepared myself for it, so the shock wont be much when the younger one marries.

But then this differs from person to person, we have different temperments.Good one.Regards.kamal

Hi,

I had also felt loneliness after my kids left, daughter got married and son left for his job. In the mornings my husband used to leave for the office, the whole day was free for me to do as I wanted.
But now, after I started going with him to the office ad I don't even have a little bit of free time to myself....
Now I feel that the loneliness I felt first was a blessing in disguise...

Love

Hello Sriniketan
Isn't it easy to say let us take the day off??
yeh physically we can take the day off but mentally it is very difficult. But I don't think any Indian can take a day off physically and mentally as u have said in the last line it can be done only when we are off this world. But this can happen with the foreigners as they do not have much attachment with anyone. We think of all the members in the family, but they as soon as the kid completes his teens he is asked to look after himself. I am already feeling lonely here as my kid has gone out for a few days.

Thank you Kamalji for your FB. it is very much appreciated.
I also liked the explanation that if you are prepared you won't feel lonely.
I accept that.
