A glimpse of the hiatus.

What you put into life is what you get out of it. — Clint Eastwood.
Hello friends,  I wish you all a Merry Christmas. I know, I have taken a very long but unintentional hiatus from writing a blog and connecting with you. Believe me, several times, I looked at my laptop, yearning so much to write something, then the next moment got literally swept away by the demands of running a home and a class!!

By a class, I mean to say I have been the class teacher of the boisterous students of standard V, comprising of forty-five of them. Earlier I just had to handle only two at home and now an entire lot. All of them seem to have perpetually to say something or the other to me and have to solve their problems on the spot.

Besides teaching, a plethora of official works, household chores vying for my attention all the time, with a deadline attached. In addition to that I have become a cashier too, collecting money for excursion, karate dress, badges, children news paper subscription and so on. Keeping tab of the collected money, counting, cataloging and submitting them finally is a tense job. I have to be mindful otherwise any mismatch and I have pay from my pocket.

Thankfully and taking some help from my banker husband I have passed the tests by fire. The excursion with children was another experience I would always treasure , they were so happy to find their teacher in an informal setting. They sang,  danced, played and ate but surprisingly all behaved so well that there was not a single untoward incident, I was so dreading about.

In a nutshell, I have been transported to a new pattern of life, in which I get up at 5. 30 in the morning, take a bath, do my worshipping rituals and run for the school by seven. The routine which was quite unthinkable earlier. Yet I am thankful to God and my family who gave confidence and courage to sail through,  sometimes turbulent waters. 
Friend, my winter vacation has started and today I have resolved to write and here I am. I shall try bring up the thoughts circulating in my mind in my upcoming blogs, as long as my vacations last.

Let’s pray to Lord Jesus to bless us with peace, happiness, safety and health. We must try to bring cheers to the people around us as much as our capabilities could extend.
Enjoy the festivities. Adieu for now.
