Summer hasn’t existed quite yet,
but the temperature has risen to the warmth of mid-summer season. Yesterday has
been the worst day with maximum temperature (about 37°C in Chennai) of the month,
we experienced a sleepless night with sudden inoperative of air con. I wasn’t in
need of AC until couple of weeks back but the situation is too bad for this early
stage of summer. Even with two fans at swirl we couldn’t tolerate the muggy
inside the room and with all windows closed, due to mosquito menace, it feels
unaired. Glad the AC service man attended us in morning, made sure the machine
works properly gives a sigh of relief and hope of good sleep tonight.
I am going through some inexpressive
frustration in life dealing with relationships and inability to change certain
things. I was perplex with things happening around me and relationship with
others make me feel disdain, as if things are pursued with an intention. I
could somehow guess whether it is good or bad temper looking into their faces esp.
the eyes convey so much, but I continue to act like nothing happening because
it is not easy to lose a relationship although they deny or act like approving.
While things being like that I find
interest on something to keep me busy and away from laptop and frustration sometime.
I am involved in craftwork for
last few days on my own interest and hooked to do things with Popsicle sticks. Right
now I execute a sort of farm house on my own planning and designing. Though I have
begun with a simple home, I planned to do interesting things of my favourite in
coming days rather going behind regular items. My grandmother was helping me
last few days, cutting Popsicle sticks in whatever shapes I needed, before she
go back to her home. After grandfather’s demise on December 31st, she
didn’t move out of her home for last two months due to some rituals and only
last week she came home to stay with us for few days. Glad she is doing well
now and come out of the grief of grandfather and started to practice with
stride. In her absence I feel like broken hand as I have to ask mom or dad to
cut Popsicle stick to build my house. My grandmother being skilful in craftwork
(remember her rework on this) doesn’t need a mention about her aid and it only enhances
my interest. I want to complete the house before she visits me next week and
hope she guides me.
She must be very happy to do this help to you, Jeevan! She is also engaged, you too are engaged. Your mind will not waver and all negative thoughts will vanish.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
It really is a lot of fun to build with the sticks. I like how they can be adapted into any kind of thing including bridges. It would be nice to see some of your finished structures.
ReplyDeletei know she enjoys working with you on your craft project, too. :) i hope you can surprise her with the finished product.
ReplyDeleteWe are also experiencing very unusual high temperatures here where certain towns had 39.5 degrees C!!! That was crazy.
ReplyDeleteI believe prayers will help to pacify and soothe relations. Good luck and be patient as nothing is forever.
Sometimes we all feel helpless towards relationships,but things will change and we move on,time only will answer...
ReplyDeleteHope life feels easier soon.
ReplyDeletei know your grandma is a skillful lady. I admire her. Convey my regards to her.

All the best to you in the art work. Looking forward to see it here.
ReplyDeleteChennai is famous for the summer... I am sure that it would be difficult! I am glad that you are making something which would not only make you happy but someone else too... Good job!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the air-conditioning problem. That is NO FUN --especially when you can't open your windows or doors... Glad you got it fixed quickly.
ReplyDeleteThat is good news about your grandmother... Sometimes it is hard to go on with life after losing a loved one. Maybe you and she will enjoy building the house with the popsicle sticks. Sounds like fun.
Have a great day--and week ahead.
Hugs,
Betsy
I am eager to see your creation! :)
