A baby on one leg

        You must be wondering on the strange title of this post. Well, i did break my ankle on 8th month of my pregnancy and had a pretty rough time of it. I think i will put down things which kept me sane and i sailed through it. It was an abrupt start of maternity break or rather , unplanned. However i did work with my plaster and pregnancy to close any loose ends(it was for my own mental peace).Once the doctor suggested for C-section considering my leg, it started the typical discussion on when and when ? Finally we went ahead with 29 May. The comical part was i was pretty excited and not really scared , i was trying to look somber ;) . Things went fine  and i met my baby boy Tashvik .
    I was pretty surprised that people go through labor pain and all. As the C section turned out to be 15 mins work. I was conscious and could hear the baby. Since it was quite foggy headed , i still wanted to jump up and see him.But , alas i couldn't move a muscle.
  I had discovered Quora during my ankle fracture as i had to be on bed rest mostly or walk with the walker.I read through some books, when i wasn't working. Quora is pretty quirky place where we read all sorts of discussions.I also focused on what i will achieve during my break.I still have most of those things on my to do list. I plan to soon get that moving. Overall , where there is will there is a way. I will never take mobility for granted now. Basically , i reflected on life in that period. You find real friends and family from false in time of  crisis. Despite the tough time, i feel i felt empowered in  a way .And now the motherhood experience deserves a separate space.

Days of reflection

      Every new year, birthday, anniversary or days of importance make us stop and think "is so much time passed already". The life these days is very fast moving.You celebrate new year and you are already in middle of it and next thing you know it has ended.Sometimes, some eventful day makes you reflect on your life and wonder, what if?We all have such days sometimes where we have some free time to just reflect :)
    Even some days where you lost someone makes you wonder.You need to reflect and take time out of your schedule to think on things that matter.Else, life will pass you by and only regret will be left in life.We need to purge negativity and embrace positivism in life.We really need to do things we want to do.I do make a to do list every year, try and stick to few things, but generally they reappear next year too.
    I ensure to keep in touch with friends by taking time out to connect or call them.Its easy to just get into a trend of updating facebook status.But, you need to make an effort to keep in touch, else life is just about apps and nonsense.

Hiatus from blogging

     I had been so busy generally that i have had no time to read, write , blog or travel lately.Work has been like pouring in.Also, news keeps me busy in my free time these days, with so much happening.While i am enjoying the workload, as its on new technology and challenges.I did miss reading, so planning to catch up this December as hoping my evenings will be free from office work.
   With world is trying to make sense of Trump winning elections to demonetization, common man finally is debating each day and finding it exhilarating to be in middle of all this excitement.I had really not watched news regularly in past, i used to catch up on news online or on mobile app while travelling.Now, its exciting to see news everyday and there really is no time to do anything else.
