A Piece Of My Perfect Pie

Ever since we are born and brought up in this world, there is a perfect plan that goes on forever in our minds.  We exist, is a proof of a plan well executed by our parents :) or otherwise! ;) A plan, that starts from a midnight queue by our parents to get us into the best of the schools in their view and which finally slows down its pace (never seizes though) when we move out to make a living with some stranger out there in the world. However, as they say, you are more of what you inherit and less of what you make yourself to be. The first thing that you inherit is to plan your life! Plan a Perfect seiz

Like every other person, even I planned and failed many a times during the execution. Dreamed to be a singer and ended up being an engineer. Weird! Planned to live initial lovey-dovey married years and ended up away from hubby in a foreign land for more than a year! Then, planned to work together with hubby in the same foreign land and ended up being a house wife! Weirder! Then planned to be a happy housewife and I guess now ending up wanting to work again! Epic Weird!
 
It’s amusing that not even we plan our lives, we also tend to work out things to fit our friends and family and their lives too into it. Being a single we party hard, call the long lost friends which were never called before and which never will be called after the party too! There are some specially planned girl-shops-out days and guys-night-in nights that are alibis to our perfect “single” life!   Suddenly the late 20s are at the doorstep and time to Say Sayonara to Singlehood shows up. It happened to me in my early 20s and so I do not know the true flavor of that farewell. As I was being married to the one I always wanted to be with, it was a good plan in progress!

Being married in your early 20s is not as difficult as being married to a person in His early 20s too! :P Not generalizing, but a girl is happy and on cloud 9 when she is married as opposed to a guy for whom it is a treacherous journey to leave behind all his bro-talks, bro-walks and bro-socks for a house with a girl hovering over to make him lower the toilet seat every now and then. Eventually, they realize this was not what they planned for! And then starts the new saga of planning a “two-together life”! It is again not as simple as it looks. The tricky part creeps in when you both want to have fun and still save lots of money at the same time! Weirdoes’! Who can beat that?  
 
However, as life takes its toll on your perfect plan, there comes a time when you have to leave your fun behind to grab opportunities and go for the run. Along came the temporary singlehood again in our marital status! It is hilarious that you miss something more and more crazy in your life when you are questioned about it by others! All the long lost friends ping you that very time or it seems that way :) I do not know! And then all the opportunities that you rolled your life for seem to cease. For me, it happened a little late. But when it did, happened for good!
 
Finally we were back again in our nest and the never ending plans started all over again!
This was the best time of my life when I was back with hubby after a long time and was going to meet some wonderful people in my life who will mark some awesome dates forever in my calendar. I am sure those days Koramangala dinner home deliveries were scaling to the highest sales point. Honored to claim the credits! A bunch of married couples done with their first anniversaries and planning their respective futures over A Bottoms Up! I remember the Birthday 2012 when we, with one of the couples (friends), were determined to be in a pub and almost fought like teenagers to let us in post 22:30! Within 5 minutes of argument, we came back to behaving like married people do! Headed back home!  A perfect plan to go-disc with friends-for-life made us spend an amount close to my first pay check ever! Coming back to life the other day was full of self-restraining orders! A trip to Pondicherry with 6 people packed up in a car, driving day and night and all we remember from that is how we all snuggled up in a single room and ate like never before! Everything seemed so meant to be with! All we needed was one Goa trip to nail “the more the merrier” perfect life! Hence, the already jinxed planning started. And as fate had to call an intervention, we parted our ways to three different parts of the world before we could even fuel up for the awesome trip.
 
Here I stand today on a verge of my little less than a mid-life and the decided years ahead of me with a bucket full of to-dos and not-to-dos for me, for my future kids and if life permits, their kids too. :) Today, when I see a girl rushing for her office day, I see the life I left behind which did not seem so perfect those days. :) When I see a lady getting her kids to school, I see myself not at a perfect spot than hers.:)  All these years, all I have learned is that I shall never stop planning my piece of perfect life! Some will work, some were not meant to and some never will. If all perfect plans would have worked out well, I think I would have run out my batteries to live more of my life!
 
 In the end, all that matters is I still have some perfect moments yet to come, some perfect people yet to meet in my perfect life yet to live! :)
