My friend Google threw this up. How appropriate, isn’t it? |
I am barely managing to post once a week on my own blog, not even updating my book club meetings which, by the way, are getting ever more fun every week. What’s worse I am posting the guest post update full two days after it was published on hers. Yes I should die of shame.
The bright side, though, is that I did manage the post for her blog. Speaks volumes of her capacity as a motivator. Thanks Shailaja for hosting me. So if you haven’t read my take on Sibling Rivalry at Shailaja’s and have a pair of constantly quibbling kids, do hop over and take a look.
Here’s the link.

The thing is, of late I have taken up an assignment, a minor one but an assignment nonetheless. Plus there’s the book club. Each time I’m free I find myself reaching for the iPad and googling “Short stories for kids”. And there’s been a barrage of activity at home – birthdays, festivals, socialising. Not being one of those flamboyant kind of people, I feel overwhelmed with too much activity. I like my routine. A once-in-a-week upset works; more than that and I’m thrown out of gear.
However, the moral of the story is that I can make time if I try really hard. So here’s one post and another one coming up shortly.
Such a pleasure to host you, Tulika 🙂 At this rate, I am going to push you to guest post every month for me 😉
Off to reading your post 🙂

Everybody gets busy and eventually discovers there is far more to life than just being chained to a computer blogging.
The thing is Kathy, I enjoy the blogging, miss it too.. Yet I find it tough to make time. Strange or what!
I know how you feel. I have myself been lagging behind on blogging. Well here's to many posts on our blogging space 😀
Richa
Cheers to that Richa.
Can relate to your situation but let me tell you that YOU are doing great, Tulika!
Off to read your post at Shailaja's blog 🙂
Thanks for reading Shilpa.
You said it is not really a post but an update of sorts. But I see a full-fledged post here about the real picture of life you are living 🙂 I can understand how overwhelmed things feel sometime. We have all been there. Take care, and go with your pace. I am one of those people who believe that even good and meaningful writing comes when we can experience some calmness and respite from the usual stuff of life.
That's sweet Beloo. Yeah sometimes you have nothing to write and sometimes so much is happening that you don't know what to write at all.
story of my life , I need a day of 48 hours ..
Bikram's
😀 right Bikram. 48 hours at least.
It's not easy Tulika…It's not…So hard to find time in this cacophony of life… So hard really I can completely understand..But see you are done with two posts already 🙂
True Nabanita. One has to make time.
Juggling with two girls, a job and an entire household without any support system or a maid, I can very well understand where you are coming from. Off to read your guest post on Shailaja's. 🙂
Hard, isn't it? Thanks for making time for a read.
