Text of the page (random words):
ved more than you will never judge you most of the people who looked down upon me in terms of finances because i chose teaching i should not be saying this are seriously honestly poorer than me in terms of financial net worth and i honestly never clarified their doubts because it seemed unimportant at that point of time i really hope that the teaching profession was a little more respected in india though i myself earn a bomb i solemnly wish that other teachers are paid tad better i know many who aren t some of them work tremendously hard learn to use the word no effectively turning down children because of full batches and lack of time was quite disheartening but i learnt to say no not compromising on my personal time and more essentially the quality of my sessions but there are times when we get opportunities that do not make up for the opportunity cost for our time invested but is a roller coaster learning experience if there is a persistent instinct to go for it then go grab it s hidden treasure just excavate till your curiosity is satiated get over he said this and she said that no one said anything getting over the small fights is more important than it appears my focus should be just me self love prioritising myself and delivering qualitative work became indispensable in any classroom the person who learns the most is the teacher this i read somewhere and found it true when we say that someone else s opinion of us does not matter to us we are lying to ourselves it matters we are humans we feel every bit we ignore rude comments but it comes back to us when there is no one around and we least expect it so just write it out okay in the end i got a confession to make all that constant judgment with gluttons gorging on sadistic pleasure which seemingly didn t matter in the beginning started weighing me down during the pandemic when things were silent the mind grew loud so for the first time i showed off on social media something i would have never done today that my unplanned second born the little reading room has many students all over the globe some of them would be authors hopefully and of course a 1000 encouraging likes the bickering astuteness or the assessing reactions of people when they hear of my work hurts a little less love neha jhunjhunwala posted by neha jhunjhunwala september 11 2021 posted in uncategorized tags

a comment on rising above log kya kahenge mind your own business the coconut oil froze it is mid january and the temperature is around 20 c at six in the evening i look for warm water in the flask the tap and the pantry find none so i head down to my first floor kitchen take some tap water in a vessel and heat it on the four burner cooking stove my cook yadavji is preparing a south indian platter for dinner the coconut oil froze frozen oil while cooking he generally listens to either old hindi songs or news on his smart phone our choice of music as well as news do not match so i m usually not interested in whatever he is listening to a trip to the first floor kitchen is just a greeting to yadavji perform the required job and return to your floor kind of thing for me today while i placed the vessel on the fire i heard the news anchor shout pakistan and vaccines so i stopped and asked yadavji what do you and your family members discuss at your place he looked confused so i explained in your household when you have normal discussions who are they about your family and your problems or my family and our problems he thought for a minute and answered we talk about ourselves why should we discuss you that s exactly my point each one of us have our own troubles to worry about why are the indian news channels so interested in pakistan oh they are just saying that pakistan still hasn t ordered vaccines no one is ready to sell them any they got the information from pakistan itself how does that matter to us rotten news this is controlled news bigotry states if you can t look good derive sadistic pleasures by making others look worse we ourselves have 1 35 billion to vaccinate inspite of a colossal amount in the pm cares fund all may not get free vaccination the key to success is minding our own business only when we are focussed on ourselves and concerned about our own problems we come up with effective solutions and prosper here we are in 2021 a country with an extremely large skilled and unskilled work force capable enough to make our mark yet failing to make ends meet as we defy the norms of self love copyright neha jhunjhunwala unauthorized use and or duplication

behind the pale yellow striped wooden door of my aunt s balcony holding a small silver scissor that is still there at my mum s place trying to snip my own fringes being a hairdresser was a secret childhood obsession i was always caught well mostly seems mum was always on a look out she would forbid me from cutting the doll s hair as it would never grow back never grow back to me they were living also i could hurt myself or someone else the adventurous i would sneak into the loneliest corners of our house and trim anyone s hair i could lay my hands on my doll s baby sister s cousin s anyone just anyone whom i could convince perhaps that marked the beginning of developing the remarkable marketing skills that i now possess that s nina s new hair style my luckiest day was when my little cousin asked me to style and blow dry her hair for a family wedding yes i have witnessed a day like that a flamingo feather in my early teenage cap that day i would have even shared my top secret lock diaries and musical instruments only if she had asked like a perfect vanity princess i was forever ready to advice on hair and skin care to anyone who would want to listen after the haircut while the world craved a son having a daughter appeared a miraculous boon to me secret wishes do come true because santa does exist i ve been rather nice i guess while in quarantine my daughter s doll like hair grew longer and longer she would have happily turned into rapunzel but the bundles of strands curled on the sides that was the exactly the time i clicked a back picture and persuaded my seven year old to get a nice hair cut from mommy the seven year olds now a days are a different breed difficult to deceive and unequivocally outstanding at bargaining she pressed at bartering her hair for mine but there was no way i could have agreed to that so the next method i opted for was instilling fear the fear of split ends and rough edges to a vanity princess is like a tyrannosaurus on a chase for human kid meat the deal was sealed with her oldest barbie doll nina getting a new hair style thus completing the circle of life copyright neha jhunjhunwala unauthorized

covid 19 on facebook twitter and wikipedia at first it seemed like a new epidemic that was identified in wuhan china a far off place that even a travel freak like myself would not ever be interested in visiting a city locked down thousands quarantined a deadly outbreak with no antidote didn t effect my life it was like the news on t v that we listen to every day browsing through the different news channels ponder over on the toilet seat forming an opinion discussing with peers as if it were the most important thing on earth and finally do nothing about it while most of my thoughts were occupied with the anti caa nrc protests revocation of article 370 35 a and the atrocities of fascism a part of me wandered around the vigorously spreading virus the world now being better connected than ever both virtually and conventionally does have exceptional and enormous advantages like the omnipresent cosmic duality of masculine and feminine sweating summers and shivering winters the north facing shade and the south facing brightness even connectivity has a notorious corrupt edge while its digital edge kills with fake news vendetta politics and communal hatred the conventional one has engulfed more than half the planet with panic and fear of the newly discovered highly contagious fatal covid 19 on 22nd march 20 the country observed a self imposed curfew from 7 a m to 9 p m implored by the prime minister of india the purpose being to break the canny chain of transmission of the pale and crafty covid 19 virus with the number of corona infected citizens rapidly increasing to almost 300 and 4 already dead social distancing remained the only weapon we could win back the planet the problem with my countrymen more than poverty illiteracy and population is an acute lack of understanding and self discipline in this complementary interconnected and interdependent community there wasn t a soul that wasn t aware of social distancing especially after the p m spoke about it in his 8 p m announcement yes in india we have these 8 p m announcements by modiji in which he addresses the nation owing to his paramount popularity every indian whether living abroad or in the remotest rural village in india gets glued to the television set that is why i can assure you that every tom dick and harry in the country is aware of the pandemic and it s devastating ways on 24th march 2020 at 8 p m there was another apt much required yet sudden announcement of a nationwide lockdown of 21 days to contain the spread of covid 19 though the move is much appreciated i m fearful achieving the sort of distancing that countries like italy and china have maintained will be challenging for india many of our citizens live in tightly packed slums in mega cities such as mumbai and delhi many of the countries poorest earn the money they need to buy food the day they eat it also there are videos floating of thousands of daily wagers stranded walking the national highways trying to reach home as they are out of work there are kind hearted locals trying to help with fooding to as many they can reach out certain states like my very own west bengal have competent empathetic c m s like mamta banerjee who have effectively arranged food and shelter for the poor rural workers stuck in the city the lady has earned respect for sure she has also converted a stadium into a quarantine centre preparing for the worst honestly i m happy to be a bengali at least by place of birth if not by origin mamta banerjee c m west bengal amidst all the chaos like all law abiding citizens our family is happily quarantined family here includes the legally wedded husband who like a typical brave and protective bollywood superhero boarded the last flight to reach us before the lockdown our seven year old daughter and my magnetic self the beloved in laws are at the farm even we had the option to leave the city and stay with them but then flying there meant vicariously exposing the mighty dad in law to the virus which would have been very unsafe as he had a surgery and the couple is aged though rainbow hearted like i earlier stated every positive aspect has a notorious negative node the vice versa remains as veritable a nation wide lockdown for 21 days meant 21 days of not stepping out of the house 21 days of household work for the urban middle class women who are used to part time maids or full time domestic help here in india household work is generally treated as an entirely women zone with few exceptions 21 days of no partying 21 days of not doing much productive work money wise 21 days of realising that some of us excluding me have no hobbies 21 days of being bored of t v discovering that it actually is an idiot box 21 days of non stop netflix amazon prime and altbalaji 21 days of ramayana and mahabharata both at home and on t v 21 days of not shopping online as the deliveries are deferred and above all 21 long days of getting tired of staring at screens looking for something apart from facebook twitter insta and of course watsapp statuses of random people well to me it was just 21 days to ponder what life is all about just 21 days to my family with no intruders just 21 days to write my heart out just 21 days to slowly read a murakami that i borrowed from my younger brother just a week ago just 21 days to do the moocs just 21 days to to decode the diet chart that priya agarwal had given me just 21 days to sing all my favourite songs just 21 days to teach myself how to design an online course just 21 days to set goals and plan life for reaching the stars just 21 days to wonder which instrument to learn next just 21 days to treat my daughter s tanned indian skin and doll like hair with all kinds of kitchen remedies just 21 days to to be myself in my titter tattered clothes without being fashionably judged just 21 days of self assessment and self procured philosophies flowing meticulously and almost uninterruptedly just 21 days that would vanish gone with the whistling wind and i shall be perhaps reluctantly or may be happily back to my normal super busy lifestyle acknowledging the blissful side of the lockdown i decided to circumvent lethargy and jot down a lockdown routine for the daughter and myself to be continued copyright neha jhunjhunwala unauthorized use and or duplication of this material without
