Today I woke up heavy hearted, was feeling uncomfortable. My sleep pattern underwent sea change after relocating from Kolkata. For me it was 10pm-5am sound sleep. After marriage, I saw my new home lacks discipline. As I always say it is Almighty's blessings that the two kids did not stray, there were higher chances. I envy freedom of that home's kids! Yet it was hard to accept that home's ways. I felt I will discipline the setup, later understood its impossible.
Mum-in-law wanted me to be like her, we are poles apart! She would sit with tea around 10pm back from neighbourhood chat sessions, some days around 11:45pm-12am, there is no a bit of exaggeration in what I say. We were asked to eat, sleep, so I did! I served rest, had my dinner, going to bed happened after 11pm..... Later in life, I did get my own home but could not discipline it, myself became indisciplined. I call in-law's side my own, not because I am a son's mother but that it takes time to adjust to a new environment!
The period when I had a beautiful "apni-kopni" life with my toddler in a 550 sq.ft. space, this mumma would sleep asking her toddler to stick to her belly else "ghyago bhoot"may take him away. For a mother, no other touch can be better than her kid's / kids' tenderly touch, but we cannot deny other requirements in life, I won't make absurd claims! Nothing can be my lullaby these days, my actual sleep period may is 5-6 hours, son's father had to make his ten year old son independent, fine... he has to listen for life"hingshemi korey amar cheler sangey amai alada korechish!"
The thing is, some of my friends used to scold me, while feeding my son, make him sleep or study, I referred to "ghyago bhoot." I stopped, he fears flies if not ghosts. Mumma continues to, early morning she herself was caught in midst of supernatural or paranormal beings in an unknown land where no one could give her direction of an address she asked for. She wandered alone scared, waiting to know where actually she can get safe place to spend night. This happened between 4am-6:30am today. I wake up around 4am, do necessary job to get more traffic to my blog, come to living room, again try to sleep for two hours. The husband went to neighbouring country yesterday, I woke up with fear, with an uncanny feeling but to this.
The picture is taken at 6:25am this morning. I came back to my normal self finding myself among known! I tremendously felt the urge to bake a healthy bread using baking powder, baking soda, I did. I would share the pictorial experience on my business pages tomorrow.
My morning tea session is ritual, I must bake my own healthy biscuits. Baking early morning may be because of spending sometime at Bread Talk last evening. The man left home around 1pm, I was missing our Sunday afternoon "khunshuti jukto chat" .... Post lunch I slept, dreamt of making two ingredient cookie with cornmeal and banana, woke up, went to Bread Talk for latte with red quinoa bun. We all had "pathar mangsho o haathey gora ruti" on Saturday night, we are versatile. I would share everything tomorrow hopefully; now have this egg free, vegetarian, more or less healthy cup cakes with multi grain atta, cornmeal topped with raisins.
I feel cornmeal or wholewheat flour is raw deal in cakes, breads, call it unhealthy or what, refined flour is kind of Madhubala in baking world. So, raisins, cinnamon powder would balance raw, wild approach of this EGG FREE MULTIGRAIN ATTA CORNMEAL KISHMISH CUP.
We can bypass a nightmare bringing in some positivity into our lives. For me it's a good book, a long walk, a cheap buy, stirring up dishes.... what's it for you? Do it! Do not just indulge in fruitless activities discussing people, their relationships, their home, collecting news, creating divide. This is something I dislike. I study intents, then get into friendship..... after University level, its few friends we make, acquaintances, known circle helping each other it is actually. I take more interest in beauties my eyes meet.... nature, gothic structures, adventurous woods. Keep figures, nature separate.... a human figure is minuscule to nature's beauty & bounty. I love nature, this island, both at same time. I keep telling him "Boss, we have not tasted 1/20th of World's beauty, when to?" We feel safe in this island, have no future here! I wished for!
